hey good micheal, If cps, and the Bandera sheriffs office would have done their jobs we wouldnt be here now.But when your a founding fathers great grandson and most of the town is related. THERE IS NO JUSTICe for the victims and he has over 10 victims under his belt So take up for him it makes you no better. Hope this never happens to your family like it did mine. I,M grandma to Jesse And Heather and we will get Micheal

Any updates to this story? Could the young man, Jesse Ray, sue the police who made him wrongfully confess? I pray someone is helping this man.

this is my brother, i love him dearly and i hate myself for letting it get to this. i hate my mother because of what she has put us threw if i could take it back i would.... u have no idea what this has done to me mentaly when he gets out he wants to do big things in life. and he wants me to help him the whole way, s years is too long i need my brother out sooner then that. none of u people can understand how he is. hes the only family i have..... thank u for all who have prayed for him

all this shouldn't had happen....shame on u miky...off to prison...sp

manny182, I do not know where you got your information, but CPS does not recommend that subjects be arrested. CPS and SAPD conduct separate investigations, but do share information. SAPD does an excellent job in determining guilt or innocence of subjects accused of child abuse. The detectives who work in sex crimes/family violence are in my experiences with them simply the best of the best. They are caring, compassionate, and have high moral standards. They are not out to "get" people or railroad them. They do not play tricks or games with them to get an inappropriate confession. They simply seek the truth about what occurred.

I blame the mother 100% - she's worse than the stepfather. She should spend the rest of her life behind bars.

I pray a hot shot lawyer will look at this case and help this young man that his life has been destroyed by his mother, stepfather and the police. Shame on those people who forced this little boy to confuss instead of getting to the truth. Breaks my heart. Another child lifes ruined by adults.

What a complete and utter tragedy. This young man's life has been forever scarred by something he did not do. How on earth was a child allowed to "confess" while under duress and without an attorney?? I hope and pray that justice is done and that 1) Jesse is released and the real perpetrator is held accountable.

Jimkata....he has been in prison since he was 13. No one will ever know what kind of man he might have been had he not been raised in prison. The mother needs to go to jail for child abuse.

@manny182..... "Most of the social workers at CPS have no education on any of the matters" I'm not sure how many caseworkers from CPS that you know, hang out with and or have been part of your life, but the one's that I've worked with are educated in this matter through college and continuing ed courses, not to mention what they've been educated on through on the job training....
