I'm not accusing every adoptive parent of being bad parents. However, when an issue is in the public, the way this issue is, it becomes an entirely different matter.

No, it's not fair. There are a lot of things that aren't fair about being a celebrity though. These seems particularly unfair, as she is a celebrity not by choice.

And as far as what she's been told, you're right, I don't know for sure. However, the information made available to me is that the Jackson's have gone to great lengths to protect the indentity of the true father in order to keep the child's inheritance within the family. Similarly, MJ came to a deal with Paris's biological mother, Debbie Rowe, to give MJ total custody rights for 8 million dollars.

This is not your typical case of adoption. There's hundreds of millions on the line, and financial considerations seem to be taking over.

Edit: Also, there are going to be issues here as it's quite clear that Paris is not half black. She, unlike other adoptive parents, will konw that her family is lying to her and concealing the truth.

It's probably the first thing I would do if I were in the same situation (removing myself from all social media), but you don't take a kid out of school for bullying, you make them keep going.

Also makes me wonder, similar to the old tree falling in the forest...if the bullying victim ceases interaction with their social media pages, and the bully still keeps at it, is it still bullying if the victim isn't directly receiving the messages?
There's always Tumblr. If your neighborhood has semi-daily drive by shootings, while you may not have done anything to warrant such behavior, it still behooves you to pack your things and GTFO.
