Dad Allowed to Take Leave From Prison to See His Dying Little Girl
Thursday, March 27, 2008
OMAHA, Neb. A 10-year-old Nebraska girl with terminal brain cancer had a simple last wish: to have her dad by her side as she lay on her death bed.
On Wednesday, seemingly against all odds, Jayci Yaeger's wish came true.
Her father, Jason Yaeger, who has been locked up in a South Dakota federal prison on methamphetamine charges, was allowed to see his daughter for what may be the last time.
He was furloughed after a barrage of letters and phone calls from around the country convinced officials to let him visit the hospital, according to KETV.com.
Jayci, who cannot speak, move or eat, could sense that her father was next to her and feel his touch, because she began breathing more heavily during his visit, the family told FOX News.
But to their disappointment, the visit lasted only about 30 minutes.
"She wants her dad. She goes to her room crying because she wants her dad," Jayci's mom, Vonda Yaeger, told KETV before the prison warden agreed to permit Jason to see his daughter.
The girl's condition has been described as minute-to-minute, and she recently suffered a stroke.

It is a positive step from 1996 to eliminate the anchor baby BS.
How did this big change escape my notice? Do you have a link to a source for that? This is huge.
So I see, at least per post #297. Is the information there accurate?
Prohibition started with booze and didn't work.
Then it went to tobacco and did work.
Now it's coming back to booze but without a constitutional amendment this time, and it is working.
Having nothing else to turn to and ever-insatiable, the prohibitionists are turning to food and travel by private automobile.
We now have "click it or ticket", which is designed to confiscate the automobile, so that leaves.........cheeseburgers.
I forgot the war on some drugs, which falls into the prohibition line with Nixon and has enabled the rest of the confiscations / intrusions.
I don’t know what this website is. This is the first thing I have done on it. All I know is that I saw this article and needed to say something. I agree with all those who say that he should have been let out longer. I think that he should have been let out until either a) She dies. or b) She completely recovers. I also think that if she died and they find out it was due to the chemicals released by the dad, he should spend a much longer time in prison. I’m sorry if you feel that I have ranted on too long but that’s how I feel.
