Dad Arrested for Taking Daughterâ??s Phone as Punishment
 

When Ronald Jackson found a text he thought was rude and inappropriate on his then-12-year-old daughterâ??s phone in September 2013, he took the cell away. But the childâ??s mother, Michelle Steppe, balked at his action â?? 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 Jacksonâ??s door later that day and asked for the iPhone 4 back, Jackson refused. â??At that point I decided the police donâ??t interfere with my ability to parent my daughter,â?� he told KHOU 11 News on Wednesday.

Dad Arrested for Taking Daughter?s Phone as Punishment

slow news day? 2013 really?

but on topic this is what is wrong with the world today that a parent can get arrested for being a good parent.. Fuck the police!

Now you're posting clickbait threads on GFY to go along with the clickbait headlines on Yahoo? Did you read your own fucking post?

He wasn't keeping the phone from the daughter, he was keeping it from the MOTHER, his WIFE, and he went on keeping it from her after she left him and asked for her property back. And since the mom felt it necessary to interfere with his conduct with her daughter and then to leave his ass, I'm guessing this dude is some kind of whackjob.

Oh lordy. Really slacking here Monkey.

might want to try reading comprehension cause he took the phone away from the daughter.. The mother didn't feel he had the right to take her daughter's phone away from her so she called the police. The whole BS was cause a cunt of a mother didn't think the ex had the right to take the daughter's phone.

Putting a child in the middle of your dislike of your ex is never good. I hated my ex but I've never said a bad word about her to my 23 yr old daughter.

From the little I read, the phone belonged to the cunt mother; it was her account so yeah, dad overstepped his bounds on that one.

Since you posted in 2016 that the father was arrested in 2013, will you post in 2019 that the father was ACQUITTED yesterday, in 2016?

Jesus, I feel so stupid commenting in this thread.

That's so awesome!!!! I hope I remember when it actually comes on. Can't wait to see what the little one will think of them being grown up.

well it is actually on the front page of yahoo today so who knows maybe it will be reposted on yahoo in 2019? :error

Very sad he lost a relationship with his daughter for trying to be a responsible parent.

Dad arrested for taking daughter?s cellphone found not guilty of theft | New York Post

I don't know who's dumber: Brassmonkey for posting this, Yahoo News for leading with an old story or me for commenting twice in a BM news thread.

In an interesting note, is it just me or is the father a dead-ringer for that Donny guy (the sexual abuser, not the one with the shitty ass)?

From what I'm reading now the phone belonged to the mother, who paid for it and paid the bills for it, and he refused to give it back to the mother so she filed theft charges, and he was arrested and jailed for stealing her phone. NONE of this was because he took the phone from the daughter, it was because he wouldn't give it to the mother, who owned the damn thing. He wasn't in the daughter's life until she was 7 and the mother was married to another man, which makes me think his daughter probably didn't even live with him, but I can't find any articles that go into detail about that.

Just like every other conservative outrage-of-the-day, you find out it's all a stack of shite in the end and the 'hero' of the story is an asshole.

This is some people-of-walmart shit right here.

tsk, don't care.
