14 DAY TRIAL // Michael Jackson’s youngest son Blanket was 7 years old when the former died in 2009, and losing him seems to have turned Blanket into a very angry young man. Blanket, 12, is said to have created a very “disturbing” and violent animated short film called “Kill Them All,” which bears a striking resemblance to his own life.
The London Daily Star is the first to report on the existence of the film but, for one reason or another, the story is no longer available online. Chances are Jackson’s lawyers contacted the publication and demanded it be pulled.
However, it claimed that the 4-minute short film told the story of a boy who witnesses his father’s murder, only to go seeking revenge 12 years later, by going on a “one-man crusade to kill the people responsible.”
The tab also described the short animated film as very violent and, because of it, deeply disturbing. No word on who might have financed, produced, and made it available online. The photo attached to this article is a screenshot from the film.
The same report cited psychiatrist Carl Nelsen voicing concern for Blanket because this much anger as seen in the film was not healthy: the boy needed counseling to deal with his father’s death, he said.
“Given the unique and well-known circumstances of Michael Jackson’s death, his son’s revenge theme in his cartoon series should be a cause for concern. He clearly harbors the belief that someone should be made to pay for his father’s demise, even though Dr. Conrad Murray has served his jail time. I would say this young man might benefit from therapy – or more therapy if he has already undergone some,” Nelsen said.
The report also mentioned Katherine Jackson’s, Blanket’s grandmother, shock at seeing the cartoon, because she never imagined he could be thinking such violent thoughts.
Michael Jackson died in 2009 of a Propofol overdose: Dr. Murray had been injecting him with the powerful anesthetic for some time to help him sleep. He was trialed and sentenced on manslaughter charges, but he’s already been freed from jail.
