1968: Joe Jackson tried and convicted for abusing his children?

There has rumour and it has been shown in a Michael Jackson Miniseries that Joe Jackson the father of late Michael Jackson was cruel to his kids. Especially Michael which he supposedly almost tortured.
I don't know how the laws were in Indiana at the time, but what if Joe Jackson had been arrested for child abuse? And put in Jail? If Socialservices had taken Michael and his siblings. Would Michael Jackson still have been famous?
