Funny thing is my mom is from Jackson, OH and back in the day her father was one of the prominent people there. Both her parents were strict disciplinarians. Her father being Welsh descendant and mom being German descendant. A switch from the tree was common in that household. If they were alive today, they would have been in jail today ! But the kids were raised well and were successful.
We live down south in Gallia County...Jackson is about 40 minutes from us.
I haven’t even heard of this case. Either I don’t pay enough attention or it’s just not been covered in the local news very well.
