"Do You Know Where Your Children Are" is a song by American singer Michael Jackson, released as the sixth track on Jackson's second posthumous album, Xscape (2014).[2]
The song is titled after a public service announcement aired on US television from the 1960s to the '80s. According to a note left by Jackson, the song is "about kids being raised in a broken family where the father comes home drunk and the mother is out prostituting and the kids run away from home and they become victims of rape, prostitution and the hunter becomes the hunted".[3] The song was originally recorded during the Bad recording sessions in 1986, and subsequently revisited during sessions for the Dangerous album in 1990.[4]
