The King of Pop's youngest child, whose real name is Prince Michael Jackson II, has created and written a five-episode online animated series titled Kill Them All, according to a report in the Daily Star.
An expert contacted by the Daily Star call the four-minute films 'deeply disturbing.'
Creative outlet: Blanket Jackson is channeling his grief over his father's death into an animated web series
The project is described as 'a silent stick-man action animation about a nameless boy who witnesses his father’s murder and, 12 years later, begins a one-man crusade to kill the people responsible.'
In 2011 Dr Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the June 5, 2009, death of MIchael Jackson.
A jury found that Murray administered a lethal dose of the anesthetic Propofol to Jackson, who was 50 when he died.

Blanket was just seven years old when his father Michael died and now that he's about to turn 12 next month, perhaps he has found a new outlet for his grief.
New York-based psychiatrist Carl Nelsen expressed concern to the Daily Star: 'Given the unique and well-known circumstances of Michael Jackson’s death, his son’s revenge theme in his cartoon series should be a cause for concern. He clearly harbors the belief that someone should be made to pay for his father’s demise, even though Dr Conrad Murray has served his jail time.
'I would say this young man might benefit from therapy – or more therapy if he has already undergone some.'
It's unclear with whom Blanket teamed to produce the animated series. There is a Facebook page devoted to the series and a YouTube trailer lists the producer as Morphline Films.

A LinkedIn page for Morphline describes the company this way: 'Launched in December 2013 by brothers, Michael and Prince, Morphline Pictures is an independent production company which produces high quality online, television and film content for a worldwide audience. We specialise in scripted content, ranging from comedy to drama.'
On Saturday a source close to the family told the Daily Star the boy's grandmother Katherine Jackson, 83, was 'unaware' of the Blanket's graphic series and didn't know who paid more than $16,000 to produce and uploade it.
'This has caught her completely off guard,' a source told the paper. 'She’s very shaken by the theme. This is a side of Blanket she never suspected was there.'

Blanket and Paris joined older brother Prince in Hawaii for a family vacation over the Christmas holiday along with friends and family members, including cousins Jermajesty and Jaafar Jackson and Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of Prince and Paris.
Rowe and Jackson married when she was six months pregnant with Prince, and they went on to have Paris a year later. The couple split a year later and Jackson was awarded full custody of the children.
In 2002, Blanket was born via artificial insemination and his surrogate mother's identity remains a secret.

Michael's father Joe
Jackson has vowed to make Michael Jackson’s son Blanket into a star as
big as his father - so long as he is ‘trained’ properly.The 75-year-old family patriarch said that he disagreed with those who said there would never be another King of Pop because Blanket was ready to take his place.
He said that the 11-year-old is the ‘spitting image’ of Michael at that age and revealed that he believed a fortune teller who once predicted Blanket would be a sensation.
Joe’s comments evoked memories of how he pushed Michael and his brothers into show business and ruled the family with an iron fist.

The physical and emotional abuse supposedly went on for years and friends of Michael’s have said that he was never able to forgive his father.
Joe made his comments in a forthcoming documentary about Michael’s children in which Blanket speaks on camera for the first time.
The pay-for-view documentary is called Remembering Michael and was made by Katherine, the legal co-guardian of his children, funded by paying fans. It promises to give some of Jackson's biggest supporters a glimpse of the children talking about their father.

In his interview Blanket expresses an interest in his father's career path, recalling how he had an early interest in his dad's skills. 'Sometimes I would go in his room and watch videos of him dancing,' Blanket said.
Blanket also describes his passion for animals which stems from his early life surrounded by exotic creatures at Neverland Ranch.
'We lived in kind of like a zoo basically- (there were) giraffes, lions,' Blanket said. 'You probably heard of it but yeah we had a chimp named Bubbles.'

Meanwhile, a judge issued a tentative ruling Friday against granting a new trial in a negligence case filed by Katherine, claiming a concert promoter was financially liable for the Michael's death.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos did not immediately finalize the ruling after hearing more than two hours of arguments from lawyers.
A jury in October rejected the lawsuit brought by the music superstar's mother, which claimed AEG Live LLC negligently hired Dr. Conrad Murray.
Her lawyers argued the verdict form didn't allow jurors to fully consider evidence in the case. Lawyers for AEG Live countered that there was no basis for a new trial.
There is no truth to that story about Blanket whatsoever. Two to three clicks is all it takes to research it and you'd know that too.
