LOS ANGELES — An attorney who has tangled with Michael Jackson (search) in the past called Friday for Santa Barbara child welfare authorities to temporarily remove the pop star's three children from his custody because of new child molestation allegations.
The demand by attorney Gloria Allred (search) came as quiet descended on Santa Barbara following Jackson's media-saturated surrender Thursday, and his whereabouts became unclear after his release on bail and return to the Las Vegas area with a two-hour motorcade to a Henderson hotel-casino.
A Green Valley Ranch spokeswoman declined comment on a report that Michael Jackson was seen leaving the hotel-casino about 4 a.m. Friday.
The Jackson family was at the Las Vegas studio of CMX Productions Inc. (search) on Friday, said company spokesman Dean DeLorean. He would not say whether Michael Jackson was among the group.
In 1993 Allred briefly represented a 13-year-old boy involved in a molestation allegation that never led to criminal charges, but reportedly ended with Jackson paying a multimillion-dollar civil settlement.
Since then she has twice asked child-welfare officials to investigate Jackson.
Jackson has two boys, 6-year-old Prince Michael I and the baby, Prince Michael II. He also has a 5-year-old daughter, Paris. Little is known about Prince Michael II, whose mother has not been identified. Prince Michael I and Paris were born during his marriage to nurse Debbie Rowe (search), which ended in 1999.
A child-welfare investigation of Jackson is warranted because of his statements about sleepovers with children, the previous molestation allegation and an incident in which he dangled his baby son outside the window of a German hotel last year, Allred told a news conference.
"I believe the children should be temporarily removed from Mr. Jackson's care and custody because of the history of Michael Jackson with children ... combined with present criminal allegations," she said.
Allred said authorities have the power to intervene when there is a "substantial risk that a child will be sexually abused by his or her parent" and shouldn't wait until the outcome of any criminal case.
The Santa Barbara district attorney does not plan to file charges until after Thanksgiving.
Michael X. Dean, deputy director of Santa Barbara County Social Services, on Thursday declined to say whether there were plans to take Jackson's children into custody, citing confidentiality rules.
Dean said that generally, criminal charges can prompt a child welfare investigation, but he added that such an investigation is not automatic.
¿Por qué no se meten en lo suyo?
