Paris regularly video chats with grandmother, Katherine, biological mom, Debbie Rowe, and her brothers," a family source told RadarOnline.com.
"Her access to the Internet is strictly monitored. The students at the school come from very diverse backgrounds, and Paris is treated just like everyone else, which she truly loves."
