Dad accused of burglary; bringing 11-year-old child along (Newnan, Georgia)

Dad JAMES "JAMIE" FRANK JORDAN III has been charged with burglary, felony theft, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Oh, and also cruelty to children and animals. That last part? That's for "allegedly" forcing his 11-year-old child to help him with his burglaries and keeping him (or her) out of school for the past 4 years.

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT: Notice that the child and his or her 3 siblings have been placed with "family members." What family members? Where is the mother? Not one word here about the mother of these children or whether she lived in this home or not. Why? Why does the media consistently fail to ask or answer such a basic question? Somebody had to have given birth to these children before they entered on-the-job training as baby criminals under Daddy's tutelage. Children don't just "appear" in a father's home. They have to be placed there, usually by some governmental authority unless the mother has died.
