ARMY MAJOR AND WIFE OUT ON BAIL - HIT
WITH CHILD ABUSE CHARGES - ALLEGED TO HAVE
DENIED FOSTER KIDS FOOD, WATER, FORCED
THEM TO EAT HOT SAUCE - BROKEN BONES CITED
BY FEDERAL PROSECUTORS - JOHN JACKSON
HAD BEEN STATIONED AT PICATINNY ARSENAL
IN NEW JERSEY - "HOMESCHOOLED" CHILDREN
DEVOUT "CHRISTIAN" CLAIMS HIS KIDS TAKEN
HOSTAGE BY CHILD PROTECTION AUTHORITIES
"Whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me - it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea."
That verse from the Book of Matthew in the New Testament should have been a reminder to "devout Christian" MAJ John Jackson, U.S. Army, that there's a price to be paid if you abuse children in your charge.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark have jurisdiction in the case, since at the time of the alleged offenses, Jackson was stationed at Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway Township, N.J.
PIOUS COUPLE OUT ON BAIL
Currently, Jackson and his wife Carolyn are out on $250,000 bail after being charged with 17 counts of child endangerment, assault and conspiracy.
An unsealed federal indictment details such abuse as withholding food and water, forcing foster kids to eat hot sauce, and corporal "violence" severe enough to result in broken bones.
The "holy" Jacksons and their band of followers deny any such thing. The major and members of his church claim the officer's children have been "kidnapped" by authorities.
Jackson professes to "love" his two foster children as much as his three biological ones, despite the fact he only "disciplined" the foster kids.
WARNED "DON'T TELL ANYONE"
The biological children told investigators they were warned to never tell about the harsh treatment. One of them went and told a neighbor anyway, when Jackson found out about it, he wailed the youngster with a belt for disobeying his order.
Federal prosecutors describe the treatment as "indescribable cruelty." The "spare the rod and spoil the child" couple and their fanatic friends disagree. They say the hard discipline was good training on how to behave.
We don't know if Jackson is a religious nut or not. But we do know that the Lord Jesus Christ would never condone such brutality to kids.
Jackson and wife will get their day in court, and if found guilty, we'd love to stand in line with a belt or a paddle of our own. We'd like to volunteer letting a child-beating bully know just how much the pain he inflicted on such "little ones" really hurts.
