Melbourne, Nov 3 : King of pop Michael Jackson is a strict parent, according to his brother Jermaine.

Jermaine believes that the 50-year-old singer is like their controversial father, Joseph, when it comes to parenting.

"Michael is not one of those fathers that lets them do what they want and give(s) them everything they want," Herald Sun quoted Jermaine, as saying.

"He is raising them the way he was raised. I think it''s great because he wants them to be good people," he added.

Michael Jackson has spoken of fearing his father''s abusive ways as a child, but said he still loved him.

Jermaine also rejected perceptions of Michael''s so-called eccentric behaviour.

"They (the media) say, ''Wacko Jacko''. But he is a human being. He has children. They hear this and they hurt," he said. (ANI)
