"TJ Jackson has been officially appointed as co-guardian of Michael Jackson&amp;#039;s children. The ruling was raised earlier in the month and made official today after a hearing in Los Angeles.  Judge Mitchell Beckloff made TJ - Michael&amp;#039;s 34-year-old nephew - permanent co-guardian after being appointed on a temporary basis last month. TJ was brought in after the children&amp;#039;s original guardian, Michael&amp;#039;s mother Katharine Jackson, left her California home for several days on a trip to Arizona, where she failed to communicate with the children. She was later reinstated after a judge found that she had been doing a good job with the kids, and will now share guardianship with TJ. The children - Prince Michael, 15, Paris, 14, and Blanket, 10 - were reportedly happy for TJ to take over guardianship as he is said to have been &amp;quot;like a parent&amp;quot; to them in the past.
