Jackson, a 36-year-old from Dallas, was ultimately arrested and charged with property theft, a Class B misdemeanor - because he had taken his daughter's iPhone and refused to give it back.
Following a long legal battle, a Dallas County Criminal Court judge ruled last week that the state did not have enough evidence to continue the case and ordered a jury to find him not guilty.
Jackson spoke with The Washington Post at length following the verdict but then recanted, saying he had signed an exclusivity agreement with a TV program a day earlier. He said he could not speak further.

Make her pay for her own Commiecare.
Parents never married. Parents have new girlfriends/boyfriends with assorted children from their previous relationships. All of these children are subjected to this chaos not of their making.
So much disfunctionality in one place.
and if the idiot kids bitch of a mother had to pay all the costs of the investigation and prosecution she’d think twice before pulling a stunt like this. Loser pays!
I suggest everyone read the full article. because I think he has cause for suing for false arrest and that his ex wifes new husband could be sued on what happen. It looks as if he used his influence to have the guy arrested.
I’m not sure of all the facts of this case but I do know contrary to most parents I always taught my kids to earn cash as soon as possible. I grew up in a large poor family (although I didn’t realize it while growing up) to earn money where ever you could (legally of course.) I started at 12 with a paper route which I grew bigger and earned more money at 12.
I got my daughter her GOVERNMENT PERMISSION to work at 16 and she did and does good.
Having said that what if your child is 16+ or even earlier because we cut grass, racked leaves, shoveled at earlier ages and they bought their own phone?
I’m not so sure at that point I can, I know I couldn’t take it away.
If like most parents u paid for it, yep take away but others who earned it.. hmmm
Oh, goody...Povich or Springer?
The real story here is the baby momma’s pig fiance had his pig friends arrest the guy at 2 AM and then the pig prosecutor upped the charges because the guy opted for a jury trial rather than take a plea and be made a criminal. Some people wonder how BLM and other anti-cop movements gain support from people outside of the grievance industry. This is how.
“——because I think he has cause for suing for false arrest “
I don’t agree.
It’s time to move on from this fiasco.
Life is too short to waste one more second on this.

THAT'S THE REAL STORY
SPANKING WINS IN AN AMERICAN COURT !!!!
I totally agree with what that father did by taking that cell phone. He should have and WAS found NOT GUILTY for trying to save his daughter from further harm. Indeed he was being a parent, a damn good parent.
I was once married to a shrew like this man’s ex. His kids will thank him one day for standing up to their mother.
If LEO step dad influenced arrest, then I think a lawsuit is warranted.
I grew up in a well off family but was taught to work and earn money early on. I was given some farmland by my grandparents so I had income to pay for my medical expenses. By age 7, I had a checking account, paid taxes, paid my property taxes, put money in savings, paid my private school tuition, my medical expenses and my own books/entertainment. I also had to work all summer on their farm and learn how to run it. During the school year, I did not get an ‘allowance’, I got additional wages for helping at my parents jewelry store by doing banking, helping with the accounting starting when I was 10, cleaning the store, helping set up the showcases, setting watches, etc.
Would this really the same prosecutor going after those that I’m covered Planned Parenthood’s illegal deals
“I’m not so sure at that point I can, I know I couldn’t take it away.”
What a wussie. I will take away tablets (and I have SMASHED a tablet), phones, cars, anything else until they are 18 and moved away. If they used their own money they will eventually be compensated.
Well the facts are the key to this case. The headline is deliberately misleading.
It wasn’t his daughter claiming theft. It was his ex-wife who bought the phone claiming theft. She said she didn’t have a problem with him taking the phone away from the daughter as punishment, but felt he should have given it to her (the ex-wife), since she paid for it.
A much more logical and routine case than a dispute over children’s property rights.
there are no good guys in this story....none...
bump
Parents are ao yesterday. Who needs ‘em when the government raises kids?
