He's said to be a straight-A student who attends martial arts class after school.

The youngest son of the late Michael Jackson wore his white uniform as he left the class with a black duffel bag slung over his shoulder.

Blanket was only seven when his father Michael died from cardiac arrest in 2009 caused by a lethal combination of prescription drugs.

The pop star's personal physician Dr Conrad Murray was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison over his death.

Concerns were raised for Bigi's welfare earlier this year when it was reported that the boy was living largely alone while grandmother Katherine Jackson was away for months at a time. 

After a prolonged stay with daughter Janet in London, Katherine moved into her daughter Rebbie Jackson's Los Angeles home after her return. 

Katherine, 86, is nominally Blanket's guardian but his care fell to his second guardian, Tito Joe Jackson, who split the child's care with his wife while she was away. 

It was reported that they took turns staying at Katherine's home with Blanket, but his sister Paris felt the prolonged separation from other family members was harmful to Blanket. 

Meanwhile, Blanket is said to be excelling at his private school in Sherman Oaks, where he is described as ‘extremely social’ and has been getting straight A’s.
