BEIJING, July 22 -- Michael Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, said that he never beat his son or made any mistakes in raising him, media reported Wednesday. Asked about stories that he was abusive to his son as a child by CNN's Larry King, Jackson said "Oh, that's a bunch of bull S. That's a bunch of bull S." "You never physically harmed him?" "Never. Never have. And I -- and I raised him just like you would raise your kids, you know? But harm Michael, for what? I have no reason. That's my son. I loved him and I still love him," Jackson said. He said he made no mistakes in raising his children. "Michael was raised properly," he said. "He didn't run the streets like most of those other kids that was in his neighborhood." While denying any child abuse, Joe Jackson's explanation did leave the question of spanking: "The media keep hollering about saying that I beat Michael. That's not true. You know what this beat started -- beat started in the slavery days. "But, hey, a lot of people in America spank their kids, you know? They say they don't, they're lying. They're lying. Now, Michael was never beaten by me, I've never beaten at all." He said he was not surprised or hurt to learn Michael left him out of his will, which was written in 2002 and placed all of Jackson's assets into a family trust that benefits his mother, the three children and various charities.

Now, Michael was never beaten by me, I've never beaten at all." ^funniest bit.... this guy scares the hell outta me.. like if hed hit me once id prob just pee in my pants!
Spanking your kids for being disobedient = Gooooood Spanking your kids for messing up dance routines like joe supposedly did = Baaaaaaaaad
thought you suppose to convince them w/ all your love.:angel: rumors said MJ's infertile cuz his dad always hit his genitals..
depends on what spanking is... a small spankie on the bottom when ur kid is being annoying is ok la... but ur chin u should know... u do something wrong u just get the gei mow so or backhand ur face... without any explanation... its just too much.... MJ got belted if he missed a dance step..................... damnnnnnnn.... dude u know how much that hurts? u know i dont blame the older gen for doing it cuz they didnt know better but thats def not how ima raise my kids... id just like ground em n have serious talks with em... its good to explain ur kids what they did wrong n stuff n not just give em a good beating.... u dont solve anything like that these days..that can backfire...kids are gonna end up becoming a rebel n outta control n shit
