In a bizarre bit of celebrity behavior, pop singer Michael Jackson dangled his baby from the third-floor balcony of a German hotel on November 20, 2002. The horrified fans gathered below thought Jackson was going to drop his child. The singer later admitted that he had made a "terrible mistake" and had only been "caught up in the excitement of the moment". He said he "would never intentionally endanger" the lives of his children. A spokesman later identified the child as Prince Michael II, Jackson's youngest son.
