Where did all of the pictures of Michael Jackson's kids come from?

I was getting the oil change the other day and waiting for the car. While I was there I picke up a couple of magazines. I expected to see the more recent pictures, at the funeral, etc. I couldn't believe the number of pictures that are out there of Michael Jackson's kids; from baby photos, to birthday parties, and all through the years. The only pictures I saw in the media before were pix of the kids covered. Now there are portraits with Michael, etc. Were they there before and I just didn't notice??

I only saw a few of them before. Michael did such a great job shielding them from the media... I think the ones we're seeing now are coming from "close family friends" - cashing in, it seems their loyalty to Michael died when he did.

Of course, the family is no longer shielding them from the media, so I guess it's not such a big deal that the older pics are out there.

Funny, everyone thought MJ was weird for the masks, etc... but one of the news shows, asked after his death how the kids were, said "they could be out here in the street and we wouldn't know it"... I think that was MJ's goal, and he succeeded. They could go out in public, with a nanny or whomever, and do what other kids did without being harrassed by the paps.

ITA. Everyone thought he was weird for making his children wear masks when out in public with him. I know I did. I think that was one of the smartest things that MJ did for his children.
