"We've spoken about the fact that you're only a child once. I think there's a time for everything, and now is not the time [to act in films]. I told her I thought she should enjoy being a kid, possibly go to college or not -- but wait 'til she turns 18. She's a very tough, smart girl. But it's a cutthroat industry. I wouldn't want my child to do it." -- Janet Jackson

Aunt Janet laid down the law with her niece Paris, Michael Jackson's only daughter, when it comes to her future in showbiz. The pop icon told Prevention magazine she's totally against the 14 year old's upcoming role in the 2013 film, "Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys."

Janet

Wonderful advice. She is still a child and there are folks in the industry who will eat this child alive.

Janet Jackson Good advise, Kids are tough, All we can do is stand back and be there for the stand alones, and say 3 words to any reply , No advise or speaches, turn then walk and hope they follow some day. Sheltering long term then meeting the real world of corse learning what boundries are.
You are a natural Mom.
