When Ronald Jackson found a text he thought was rude and inappropriate on his then-12-year-old daughter??s phone in September 2013, he took the cell away. But the child??s mother, Michelle Steppe, balked at his action ?? and she called the police.
Steppe and Jackson have not been a couple for years, and Steppe is now married to a Grand Prairie, Texas, police officer. When the police showed up at Jackson??s door later that day and asked for the iPhone 4 back, Jackson refused. ??At that point I decided the police don??t interfere with my ability to parent my daughter,? he told KHOU 11 News on Wednesday.
