Default San Carlos man to plead guilty in foster-child rape


San Carlos man to plead guilty in foster-child rape

A San Carlos Park man intends to plead guilty to charges he raped his
teenage foster daughter three years ago.


At a pre-trial conference Tuesday, Lee County Circuit Judge Mark
Steinbeck set June 23 as the date for Robert Jackson's plea.

"Mr. Jackson plans to take full responsibility for his actions," said
his attorney, Joseph Viacava, "but there are some unusual circumstances
we feel the court needs to hear so the judge can make a just decision."

Viacava would not say more about the "unusual circumstances," and after
the conference, Jackson declined to comment.

The felony charges - one count of sexual assault by a person of familial
or custodial authority and two counts of unlawful sexual activity -
could have meant up to 30 years in prison had he been convicted.

The complicated case began in January 2006 when Jackson, 58, was
arrested after his wife, Janie Jackson, told police she found him and
his foster daughter, then 16, having sex at their San Carlos Park home.

In May 2006, Jackson was released on $150,000 bail.

In July of that year, the girl, whom The News-Press is not naming
because of the nature of the case, disappeared.

In August, The News-Press learned she was at her parents' home in
Guatemala and reached her there by phone.

She told a reporter at the time, "They told me they were going to put
(Jackson) in jail for the rest of his life. I couldn't live or move on
knowing that he would die there. So I thought, maybe if I'm not there. ..."

She said she planned to return to the United States after Jackson went
to trial.

But in November 2006, two social workers, Mary Lewis and Anna Rodriguez,
flew to Guatemala to retrieve the girl. With the help of the Guatemalan
government and other social service agencies, they were able to get the
girl a passport.

In December 2006, Assistant State Attorney Francine Donnorummo asked
Circuit Court Judge James Thompson to revoke Jackson's bond. The girl
said Janie Jackson orchestrated her return to her native Guatemala,
giving the girl money, buying her a plane ticket, suggesting she steal
her sister's passport and driving her to Miami to catch the flight to
Guatemala.

Robert Jackson denied he had any contact with the girl since his arrest
and release on bail; Judge Thompson did not revoke his bail.

The Jacksons, who sat together before the Tuesday conference, had been
foster parents since 2003 and had cared for at least 22 foster children
over the years.





An Inconvenient Truth about Child Protective Services, Foster care, and
the Child Protection "INDUSTRY"

Child Protective Services Does not protect children...
It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even
killed at the hands of CPS.

every parent should read the free handbook from
connecticut dcf watch...

http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com

Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US
These numbers come from The National Center on
Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN)
Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS

Perpetrators of Maltreatment

Physical Abuse CPS/Foster care 160, biological Parents 59
Sexual Abuse CPS/Foster care 112, biological Parents 13
Neglect CPS/Foster care 410, biological Parents 241
Medical Neglect CPS/Foster care 14 biological Parents 12
Fatalities CPS/Foster care 6.4, biological Parents 1.5

Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that
are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per
100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse
and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the
citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold
parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY
government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and
death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more
human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which
they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that
they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when
children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a
bunch of social workers.

THIS IS AMERICA'S HIDDEN HOLOCAUST

Currently Child Protective Services violates more constitutionally
guaranteed liberties & civil rights on a daily basis then all other
agencies combined, Including the National Security agency/Central
intelligence agency wiretaping programs…

A recent study has found that 12-18 months after leaving foster ca

30% of the nation’s homeless are former foster children.
27% of the males and 10% of the females had been incarcerated
33% were receiving public assistance
37% had not finished high school
2% receive a college degree
50% were unemployed

Children in foster care are three to six times more likely than children
not in care to have emotional, behavioral and developmental problems,
including conduct disorders, depression, difficulties in school and
impaired social relationships. Some experts estimate that about 30% of
the children in care have marked or severe emotional problems. Various
studies have indicated that children and young people in foster care
tend to have limited education and job skills, perform poorly in school
compared to children who are not in foster care, lag behind in their
education by at least one year, and have lower educational attainment
than the general population.
*Casey Family Programs National Center for Resource Family Support

80 percent of prison inmates have been through the foster care system.

The highest ranking federal official in charge of foster care, Wade Horn
of the Department of Health and Human Services, is a former child
psychologist who says the foster care system is a giant mess and should
just be blown up.

http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=2017991

Four rigorous studies have found that at least 30 percent of America’s
foster children could be home right now if their parents had decent housing.

This study found thousands of children already in foster care who would
have done better had child protection agencies not taken them away in
the first place.

The bottom line? - Child Protective Services and the Foster Care system
for the most part turns out young adults that are nothing more than
walking wreckage...

CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CONSTITUTIONALLY
GUARANTEED LIBERTIES & CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER
AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAMS....

CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT
FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON...

BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF
REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES
TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY
ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION...
