Cruel father

Michael and his four older brothers started careers with the group “Jackson Five.” His father Joseph was a manager. In the early 70s “Jackson Five” was called the phenomenon of pop music. But real life of Jackson brothers was like a hell.

His father was a home tyrant. He did not just beat children, but did it with sadistic pleasure, turning punishment into a ritual. He took off the clothes of kids, smeared them in oil, and then beat them with iron cord by naked skin.
