Army Major, Wife Charged With Child Abuse in New Jersey
Father's said it was just training
An Army major and his wife appeared in federal court in New Jersey Tuesday to face child endangerment charges stemming from a 17-count indictment.
From the looks of a family photo, Army Major John and Carolyn Jackson appear to lead a loving family of six.
The U.S. Attorney though, says the kids were tortured by the couple.
Their limbs were broken, they were denied food and water, they were force fed hot sauce and peppers, and denied medical attention.
It was all part, they say, of what the Major called training the kids.

It doesn't sound like this took place on a base, so why the Federal charges?
The Major is government issue. They own his dumb ass.
