Judge: Not Told 6 Kids Killed In Shooting Faced Danger

HOUSTON (AP) — A judge who dismissed a state effort to keep six children in foster care two years before they were found dead in their Houston home said Wednesday that he was never told the kids were in any "immediate physical danger." Juvenile Court Judge Glenn Devlin took the unusual step Wednesday of commenting on the 2013 case, issuing a statement defending his decision to return the children their mother, Valerie Jackson, and to David Conley, who now faces capital murder charges for the fatal shootings of the kids, Jackson and her husband. Conley, 48, gave jailhouse interviews to several Houston television stations, saying he loved his son, Nathaniel, "to death" but that he and the other children weren't being raised properly and acted unkindly toward others. In its 2013 lawsuit, CPS noted Conley's history of domestic violence against Valerie Jackson and stated that the "mother's lack of control and parenting skills places the children in immediate danger." The lawsuit also listed other cases in Conley's long criminal history, including arrests for aggravated robbery and drug possession.
