(Newser) – The hair snipped from Paris Jackson's head last week won't be falling into the hands of the genetic paparazzi. The Las Vegas salon that cut the 11-year-old's hair carefully swept up, bagged, and handed over every last strand, apparently to stop potential thieves from running a DNA test on the locks to determine who Paris's biological father is, the Daily Mail reports.

Well papparizi or not, these children need to know who is their biological family. Yes it's good to know the people that raise you because they had money and fame, but money and fame cannot buy love and at some point believe me these children will want to know their biological relatives. I've seen it happen too many times.
