Michael Jackson is dangling a baby from a fifth floor window by it’s [neck](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2493513.stm).

What in the name of CHRIST is he doing with those poor children? Who in God’s name gave him another baby? Won’t somebody please save those kids before they are crippled beyond all repair!!

I honestly feel that he’s headed for the nuthouse.

He’s very, very lucky he’s not the father of _my_ child. If you think his face looks distorted now…

And why hasn’t anyone arrested Pinocchio on child endangerment charges? HELLLLLLOOOO Germany!

The kid probably leapt off the balcony trying to get away and got caught just as the pic was taken. Better luck next time kid.

LoL **Revitim**! Those poor kids! MJ looked like he was enjoying freaking his kid out! That man needs some mental help, pronto. Why would you hang your kid over the balcony?? Why hide their faces also? Most stars go out in public with their children all the time.

Hey **Diogenes** , here’s something we can agree upon (without a factual answer).

I don’t think _Jacko_ should be allowed around kids period. For a while now.

Someone, SOMEONE please put an end to Jacko’s meaningless existance. PLEASE!??!?!?!

From what I saw on the video, Jacko did not even know how to hold the baby, let alone DANGLE it from a hotel balcony.

**smacks hand to forehead** \*

What the fuck, Jacko!??!?!
