Canadians describe detention in Cairo jail, demand 'due process, not cockroaches'
Fan-Yee Suen, CTVNews.ca

A statement from the two Canadians being held in a Cairo jail was released on Saturday, describing the "ridiculous conditions" of their detention in a cell they were sharing with 36 other "political prisoners."
Emergency doctor Dr. Tarek Loubani and Toronto-based filmmaker John Greyson were arrested in Cairo on Aug. 16, during protests between supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi and Egyptian security forces.
The pair -- who started a hunger strike on Sept. 16 in protest of the arbitrary nature of their detention – say they were in the Egyptian capital en route to Gaza.
"We never planned to stay in Egypt longer than overnight. We arrived in Cairo on the 15th with transit visas and all the necessary paper to proceed to our destination: Gaza," the statement reads.
In the letter -- which was dictated by the men to their lawyers, according to Greyson's sister, Cecilia, and later relayed to family members -- the pair say they were being held in a three metre by 10 metre cell and are "sleeping like sardines on concrete with the cockroaches; sharing a single tap of earthy Nile water."
The pair has since been moved to a 3.5 metre by 5.5 metre cell which they share with six other prisoners, the statement reads.
For more than a month, both Loubani and Greyson have been detained without charges in Egypt's Tora prison. Egyptian officials have not provided any reason for the ongoing detention.
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird says he met with his Egyptian counterpart Friday, to "raise the case of Dr. Loubani and Mr. Greyson."
"I appreciated the high-level engagement but impressed upon them the importance of file to the Government of Canada," Baird said in a series of tweets Saturday.
Baird, who says he also broached the subject with Egypt's foreign minister in another meeting earlier in the week, said he looks forward to receiving updates on the status of the pair's detention in the "very near future."
A spokeswoman for Lynne Yelich, a junior minister responsible for consular affairs, told The Canadian Press that Ottawa is doing all it can to free the two men.
"Their condition and well-being remain our primary concern," Adria Minsky said.
Under Egyptian emergency law, CTV News has learned the pair can be detained in prison for up to two years without charges.
"It's really difficult to hear the extent of what happened," Greyson's sister, Cecilia Greyson, told CTV News Channel on Saturday. "They are still in an incredibly unstable situation and so it's a very difficult statement for us to read as family members."
She said the pair has been in contact with their lawyers a "number of times," and that the Canadian government has "worked very hard" on her brother and Loubani's case.
"They've been very concerned," she said.
Asked about reports the Egyptian government will charge both Loubani and Greyson in the "near future," Cecilia said she was disappointed.
"To say that they are still considering charges at this point is really a step backwards."
According to Loubani and Greyson, they were arrested while asking for help at a security check point after stopping for ice cream and then finding themselves unable to cross a police barricade.
"That's when were: arrested, searched, caged, questioned, interrogated, videotaped with a 'Syrian terrorist', slapped, beaten, ridiculed, hot-boxed, refused phone calls, stripped, shaved bald, accused of being foreign mercenaries," the statement reads.
The pair say they had been at protests in Cairo's Ramses Square, approximately five blocks from their hotel. According to the statement, they decided to "check out" the demonstration, which had just started, after they weren't able to proceed to Gaza.
There was the "faint odour of tear gas" in the background while a "helicopter lazily (circled) overhead," the statement reads.
But the protests quickly escalated, at which point Loubani "snapped into doctor mode... and started to work doing emergency response" while Greyson began filming, "shooting a record of the carnage that was unfolding."
The pair said they were among 602 people arrested that night.
"The arrest stories of our Egyptian cellmates are remarkably similar to ours: Egyptians who were picked up on dark streets after the protest, by thugs or cops, blocks or miles from the police station that is the alleged site of our alleged crimes."

Attain a Brighter and Attractive Smile with a Reliable Orthodontist
Needless to say, a gorgeous smile leaves a long lasting impression on people's mind. However, at times, improper alignment of teeth makes your smile unattractive which affects your facial appearance. A proper orthodontic treatment can improve your dental appearance. There are certain reliable clinics that provide orthodontics Lethbridge services that help in eliminating occlusion that could affect the functioning of teeth.
The imperfect positioning of teeth and jaws is generally referred as malocclusion. Malocclusion not only affects your smile, but also leads to chewing problems. Some of the major causes of malocclusion are hereditary factors, endocrine imbalance, metabolic disturbances, thumb and finger sucking, tongue thrusting, dietary problems or trauma and accidents.
There are proficient Lethbridge orthodontist around the globe who diagnoses misaligned jaws and teeth. There are various fixed and removable appliances which used by the orthodontists that help in the diagnosis of malocclusion.
Some of the fixed appliances are:
• Braces: Braces are generally bands, brackets or wire. Bands are set around the teeth in a rigid manner and thus are used as anchors where as brackets are tied at the front of teeth. Fixing the arch wires tightly increases tension on the teeth and thus they are gradually aligned to their correct position.
• Special Fixed appliances: These are used to restrain tongue thrusting and thumb or finger sucking.
• Fixed Space maintainers: These are used in case when a child's tooth is lost prematurely. This is used to keep the space empty until a permanent tooth erupts.
Some of the removable appliances are:
• Aligners: Nowadays, number of orthodontists uses aligners as they are virtually invisible and can be removed while brushing, flossing and eating.
• Lip and cheek bumpers: These bumpers are used to release pressure exerted by the lips and cheeks on teeth which leads to improper positioning of the teeth.
• Palatal expander: It is generally a plastic plate that is fixed at the top of the mouth. Arch of the upper jaw is widened using this expander. Gibb Orthodontics is one of the remarkable orthodontic clinics owned by Dr. Allan J. Gibb. He is one of the excellent orthodontists who provide the best treatment for malocclusion. He gives proper attention to his patients and helps in aligning their teeth and jaws with the help of appropriate bracings and other appliances.

Demosthenes, the son of Demosthenes, of the Pæanian township, made this motion, the usual form of the commencement of the Votes of the Athenian Assembly.
To this discovery Dr. Francis made answer: -- "Then, sir, you have exceeded Demosthenes himself, for to say that you have exceeded Francis's _Demosthenes_, would be saying nothing."
She would teach, she would study, and after four or five months she would write an extended historical essay, publish it pseudonymously under the name Demosthenes, and then enjoy herself until Ender accepted a call to go Speak somewhere else.

Action is everything according to the notion of Demosthenes -- 'action, action, action,' was his motto.
In response to Peter / Pietrov the Bulgarian; your reading and interpretation of Demosthenes 'the' Phillipics 'again is incorrect; remember the Demosthenes was a politician who used flowery and charged rhetoric which in most cases the connotations was never literal; and where the real enemies were not Macedonians Versus Greeks in the Battle of Chaeronea, but northern Greeks versus Southern Greeks.
It's my impression that Valentine Ender ( "Demosthenes") was presenting some mixture of opinion and commentary.
I would have you allow but one hour a-day for Greek; and that more to keep what you have than to increase it: by Greek, I mean useful Greek books, such as Demosthenes, Thucydides, etc., and not the poets, with whom you are already enough acquainted.

An employee of a Denver topless bar was charged today with reckless manslaughter in the death of American Indian tribal leader Gabriel Pico.
The charges allege that Diamond Cabaret bouncer Bryan Coe, 27, pinned Pico to the ground in a choke hold and that his actions caused Pico's death.
The Denver coroner's office ruled two weeks ago that the death of 39-year-old Pico, of Temecula, Calif., was a homicide.
Pico, who was in Denver for the Democratic convention, died Sept. 1 of injuries he received in the 2 a.m. scuffle on Aug. 30 outside the Diamond Cabaret, 1222 Glenarm Place.
Pico was placed in a chokehold to restrain him, which cut off oxygen to his brain, according to an autopsy report by the Denver medical examiner.
The examiner said Pico was "apparently assaulted" outside the Diamond Cabaret by several men. He was taken to Denver Health Medical Center with bruises, scrapes and "anoxic" brain injuries caused by a lack of oxygen, the report said.
Two other men have been charged with second-degree assault related to the incident, said Lynn Kimbrough, a spokeswoman with the Denver district attorney's office.
Justin Ludwig, 25, and John Nelson, 47, were arrested Oct. 2.
They each posted a $3,000 bond and have a Nov. 20 court hearing, Kimbrough said.
Coe has been released on a $25,000 bond. He will appear in court to be advised of the charge Monday.
Pico was elected in July as a member of the Pechanga Tribal Council. Jacob Mejia, a tribal public-affairs official, said Pico was not a delegate to the Democratic convention but was in Denver as a guest to attend events.

Find out why you might not hear her sing "GYHAB" ever again... We were SO stoked to meet Demi Lovato last night at the Top Shop Los Angeles store opening!
Not only did she sing "Give Your Heart a Break" for the crowd, she talked fashion and told us about her new album and sound! Oh and X-Factor's Fifth Harmony showed up too!
"'Heart attack' is kind of a different sound, I'm really taking advantage of good ole' American pop music...I'm also using this album to express what's important to me....my heart is basically on my sleeve on the entire album," she said.
Hmm, does that mean we can expect some juicy relationship deets in her new stuff?
She also spilled about her favorite happy place....the studio, of course!

Discourse 315 DPO killed Pregnant Woman, Baby
By Dr. Aliyu Tilde
DPO killed Pregnant Woman, Baby
The Sunday Trust of 26 December, 2010 carried the distressing story of how the brutality of a Divisional Police Officer (DPO) at Rigasa neighbourhood of Kaduna led to the death of a nine-month pregnant woman, Binta, and her baby.
Binta's painful journey to death, as reported in the paper, started when her three year old child lost a slippers belonging to a co-tenant who used the opportunity to insult Binta continuously. For the sake of peace, Binta bought a pair of new slippers and sent it to the co-tenant. Instead of receiving it and let the matter die, the co-tenant beat the daughter who took the slippers to her and also engaged the nine-month old Binta in a fight. By the time she was done, Binta was bleeding.
Not satisfied that she has beaten the hell out of Binta, she went to the divisional police office and lodged a complaint that Binta has fought her. The DPO ordered three policemen to arrest Binta immediately. She was taken to the police station and detained all night in spite of pleas from her relations and husband. The complainant was not arrested.
When the police realised that her condition may lead to death, they called her brother whose name they found on her cell phone. With him, the police conveyed her to a nearby clinic in a police van. The clinic declined to treat her seeing her condition and referred them to Yusuf Dantsoho General Hospital at Tudun Wada, Kaduna. There, Binta gave birth to a baby girl who died five minutes later. And Binta too died that evening.
The husband called the DPO on phone and told him that he, the DPO, has killed his wife. It was then the DPO ordered the arrest of the complainant who is renowned in the neighbourhood for her quarrels. It was too late. She has run away.
A number of things made this story very sad. One, the brutality and subsequent death was over a bathroom slippers of just N80 (50 cents)!. The DPO should have reconciled the two instead of killing one of them and her baby.
Two, relatives of the deceased begged for Binta's bail but the DPO denied it and insisted on incarcerating the woman even as she was bleeding from the beating she received from the complainant. He was so heartless an animal that he even refused to allow her drink water which she asked the husband to provide her with.
Three, unlike Maimuna who survived her serial rape to demand for justice, Binta did not survive to even tell her story, let alone demand for justice. Nor would her baby girl know the circumstance that killed her mother, for the baby died immediately after her birth.
Four, the response of the Kaduna Police Command is most irresponsible. All it did was to transfer the DPO to another division, as if he did nothing wrong. The Commissioner of Police even refused to answer a question raised by a journalist about the incident at a press conference. The command is keeping the result of the autopsy hidden.
This story, like that of Maimuna, epitomises the callousness of many in the Nigerian Police. By the refusal of the Kaduna command to sanction the DPO, the Police have clearly chosen to side with him in the case. It is not worth any punishment, in their judgement. The police by their action are asking the nation the following questions: So what, if a Nigerian loses his life in a police cell? How many such deaths happen across the country every day in police cells? Why would Binta's be different even to warrant a whole oga DPO to be reprimanded? It is normal!
It is this camaraderie that damages the police beyond correction. The good among them are not ready to punish or expose the bad. The guilty is hidden and protected, unless he is inconsequential when he will be used as a sacrificial lamb. That is why Inspector Dantalle escaped from being charged in Kano despite his participation in the rape of Maimuna. The girl insists that he too raped her. But the police commissioner only demoted him to sergeant. Nigerian Police Force!
The police should not therefore blame the public for any generalisation. The Police force is one of the worst institutions of government in Nigeria and one of the worst human rights violators in the world. There is no crime that its personnel have not been committing in this country. They rape the vulnerable; they kill at the slightest provocation; many have been caught in armed robbery; they provide politicians with the security cover to rig elections and harass the opposition; they extort money from drivers; they hesitate to provide security to civilians when their help is needed; just name it. Only few people were able to come outsatisfied after having any business with the Nigerian Police.
The only two explanations they give to their incapacity are their inadequate numbers and lack of sophisticated equipment. If we may ask, did the DPO in Rigasa need three policemen to arrest a pregnant woman? Did he need any equipment to detain her in her bleeding state under the subhuman conditions of the Nigerian police cell, without food or water? All he needed to do was to behave like a human being, not an animal who is animated by the little bribe from a complainant to kill an innocent mother and her baby. It is that humanity that is missing in the Nigerian police. Its personnel could freely engage in human right abuses with impunity. And because their officer corps is raised through such a regime of violations it hardly reprimands its subordinates for any misdeed. Instead, the subordinate is encouraged by the assurance of espirit de corps to violate the rights of Nigerians again and again. The police have lost the power and wisdom of self-control.
The image of the police is in its hands. It can improve it by standing up to those who violate its ethics among its rank and file, if it likes. Who is surprised that the DPO of Kwali before whom the complaint of Maimuna's rape and sex-slavery was brought pleaded with her relations to "forgive his men"? Who is surprised that the Police command in Kano has not reprimanded him too? They have grown through the rank and file of one of the most corrupt institutions in the country. They cannot be different. Ringim has the arduous task of proving himself different by changing the pattern of behaviour of his officers. He must punish where punishment is desired. He must show his men that Nigerians are more important than the uniforms the police wear.
On our part, I think Nigerians have been handling the police with kid's gloves. We let them go with literally anything. We call ourselves educated when we do not even know the basic elements of our rights. There are institutions we can use to seek redress, not simply sitting down and crying before a newspaper reporter. The judiciary is there. Nobody is above it. What stops victims from lodging their complaints immediately their rights are violated with public complaint commissions, with their elected representatives, with their pastors and imams, with the human rights groups in their states, with just anyone they revere?
The police, for example, shiver at the sight of a lawyer and immediately start to do the right thing. Why do we fail to avail ourselves with the services of lawyers? If the victim cannot afford one, what of the state legal aid that offers free legal services just as does the NBA to such poor victims? Going public should even be the last resort, though the radio and the newspapers have been forthcoming here.
Educating us on our legal rights I think is the best contribution any government or private agency can offer towards curtailing these abuses. It will yield more dividends than concentrating on the present approach that is largely post-mortem and very costly. Let people know that where the police are involved in a violation, very little would naturally come out from them. They cannot be judges in their own course. This is a basic presumption in law. Recourse must be found in avenues outside the rotten department. Had the relatives of Maimuna not sought the help of the Hisbah and human rights groups in Kano, her case would not have been heard by the world. The police would have suppressed it as they suppressed millions of human rights abuses before. Even now, I agree that a more prudent independent investigation needs to be carried out by an independent body on Maimuna's case as suggested by many contributors.
Since the story of Binta broke out last Sunday, I have been informed that WRAPA is working on this case. Also pursuing the case are FIDA, PSC, the NHRC and a few other NGOs. They, along with WRAPA, are ascertaining the facts of the case as a first step.
The DPO in Rigasa was instrumental to the death of Binta. He should be charged with voluntary homicide. Simple. Binta did not need to be his mother before he could know that a bleeding pregnant woman requires urgent medical attention, not detention in a filthy police dungeon. His classroom training must have told him that his most important duty as a policeman is the protection of life, not destroying it. Here, he chose to destroy both the mother and her baby. His training also must have taught him the principle of fair hearing, the right for the accused to be heard before he is charged.
It is, however, regrettable that his practice taught him something different. It taught him to take bribe, take sides and kill the life. In addition, it taught him that he is a sacred cow.
Not this time. After killing his victim, the coward rushed to cover his ass by ordering the arrest of the complainant and seeking a transfer. He got it. But Binta too will get justice, even in her grave. The cow must be slaughtered this time. Let the coward be rest assured.
This case makes me to suggest the formation of an NGO that would specifically address issues bordering on police human rights abuses. It can be called "Friends of the NPF" or any other suitable word because the Police force cannot have better friends than members of such organisation. The police should not see this as a threat but rather as an aid that will help them solve one of their most pressing problems. Saving the police from itself must concern every Nigerian, in my estimation. The abuses are just too many and endemic for the force to extricate itself from. It requires a concerted external pressure. The cases are also too many for existing NGOs to be tackling while they also address their primary areas of concern.
The funding of such a group should come from individuals, groups and the government, which can channel its own through the NHRC and the police departmental vote. Such a group should be composed of human right lawyers, interested ex-police officers with proven integrity, human rights groups, community leaders in its branches and interested individuals. It could even be formed jointly by human rights groups. I hope readers will help to refine this rudimentary idea and go ahead to source the people who would be ready to follow it up to fruition.
May the souls of Binta and her baby rest in peace.

Very pathetic story. The NPF needs complete overhaul, just like the Nigerian Nation. I think you don't need to be a police or a lawyer to know that the deceased health is more important than her offence, that is if at all she was an offender. I believe its a good idea to form such an NGO, for it will make the police stop some of their excesses.

I hereby register my name 'Abubakar Sule' to be an interim member of 'The friends of the NFP'. Let a lawyer volunteer to steer the registration with CAC. Dr Aliyu Tilde/Maryam Uwais should create a register with cour contacts to intiate first meeting. Work out a mission statement and members finance its take off. We should know it is not without risk, taking legal and PR issues with our dear NPF. But i am ready for one!!! Imagine your intervention to Maimuna's hope and likely for Binta soon. Who knows the next victim of police brutality?

Now we are talking. That is why in one of my comments on the Maimuna case I suggested that the trust fund should grow beyond Maimuna. I am happy that now people are beginning to see attitude of some bad eggs in the Police and the refusal of the good ones to punish them. There was a time that our police had the slogan of "Fire for Fire". When another IGP took over he changed it to "To Serve and Protect with Integrity". I said in a speech that the Police needed to accompany the change of slogan with change of attitude. I do not know whether they have changed the slogan again. But I believe that they have not changed their attitude. To them the first to complain is always right and the person against whom the complainant is made is always wrong. The police are in a better position to know that there are many occasions the culprit rushes to make complaint. That was the situation in the case of SAHALATU SHAZALI VS THE STATE.
I also agree that our nonchalance attitude as enlightened persons encourage police to continue with their impunity. Our sentiments impair our sense of justice. I still recall that it was mainly Ndigbo that stood firmly on the case of Apo Six because the victims were their kinsmen. Other people did not bother much. I hope the cases of Maimuna and Binta will mark a turning point.

Dear readers and contributors, have we asked ourselves what the minimum requirements is to join the NPF? Correct me if I m wrong but I understand its four (4) passes. I pray this is false else the PF will be filled with souls having brains even the chimp will NEVER admire. Lets visit the DPO's paper, maybe, just maybe we will have a clue of how to start tackling the NPF shortcomings.

This reminds of what happened to a poor teenager last year in Jos, his mum separated with the dad, so he was raised by his step-mum who continued looking after him even after the death of his father. He suffers from a psychological problem though he looks very healthy and do some jobs to support the step-mum. We have no biological relationship with him, but because he works for my brother, he usually follows him to our family house, I took interest in the boy specifically due to his illness which I believe is depression and showing him some caring will help, so I spend some time with him, based on that he started visiting us on daily basis.
However, he suddenly disappeared, I called his handset several times and was not available, then I just heard that his step-mum was looking for him, he got depressed and out of his sense at night and went out while she was asleep.
It was after some days that we heard he was at The Jos University Teaching Hospital. Seeing him made my heart devastated for his handsome face has been turned to something else, his mouth by the left side and one eye had changed completely, while his arms looked paralyzed. To my greatest surprise and shock, he told us he was badly beaten up by the police the night he went out, they thought he was a criminal, so they beat him up and left him there, and somehow he was taken to the hospital by some good people and was taken care of before his family was traced, what he assured me was even though he was sick, but he is very sure of those that did that to him.
He is recovering gradually and actually we did not make any move to report those that cannot differentiate a sick from an intoxicated criminal, we just recited ALLAH YA ISA. This NGO idea will certainly save many lives. Thank you for your good efforts, our country is in desperate need of people like you

i'm seriously bewildered by the uncountable number of human abuse crimes of incalculable damages to humanity being perpetrated by the so called 'NPF'. I therefore consider the movement for the inauguration of an NGO meant to emancipate the trampled victims of the 'elephants' as an obligation on us. Let us join hearts and hands and work in deeds and words to promote, persue and protect the rights of the citizenry especially the weak and less privileged who are in most cases the victims of such transgressors. I pray to Allah, The Almighty, to strengthen the movement, help and safeguard those who uphold it for the benefit of the people and the nation.

Very sad story but this is how it is with the decaying institutions in Nigeria, there is no way poor man can be empower and have the capabilities of freedom without transforming this very important institution the police force.Abundants evidence in this country have shown that the poor man lack freedom, and he is powerlessness because of the malfunction of the police institution.
But ifelt the issue lies on the nature of the democracy we are now practicing. The executive arms of government and the legislative are not doing their check and balance fuctions agaist the police. The politicisation of the institutions by the politicians is uncalled for.

Now it is becoming obvious that the task before us is similar to Mainuna's case and there will surely be many many more to come. It is obvious why nobody talks of financial support now and the reason is simple. It takes me back to my earlier suggestion of opening support fund from which Maimuna and other similar victims should benefit from and which can also be used to reduce the occurrence of the ugly incidences we see every day in the hands of the police. Thanks to Ibrahim M Tahir for reiterating this. The formation of an NGO is also very positive.

Oh God, i pray this is not the end of this dream to begin an NGO that could be for the benefit of the suppressed. I monitored how follow ups came to a sudden halt even after Lawal volunteered a token for start up. But with apology Dr Tilde, despite the tightness of your hands, sacrifice to see how a first meeting takes place. Your blog is important. Lets get a trusted name atleast from you, being that our personal membership profiles are to be with some one and atleast some cash will be involved to facilitate take off- logistics among ourselfs. Do you think anybody can volunteer to give certain information about themselves for the membership, or pay dues if you are not involve. But after the 1st meeting we can give you leave. Your blog inspired us! some one should come in with a 3rd step and way forward please.

The decay in the NPF is so enormou that one finds it difficult to proffer solutions to it. from where do we start the reform? is it from the Police Academies/Colleges? Or is it from the Police Service Commission? Infact the whole mess is embedded in the cankerworm of CORRUPTION that is daily eating into the fabrics of our society at an alarming rate. The high level of insecurity emanating from gross indiscipline/corruption in all the tenets of our society needs to be combatted in order to sanitize the custodians of our security; the NPF. the only option is to ensure we vote forcredible candidates in the forthcoming elections and ensure we guard and protect our votes at all cost otherwise we shall continue to witness such symptoms of decay in our society evident by police brutality, loss of lives and properties through unchecked armed banditry, kidnap,rape,avoidable road accidents etc.

Good day brothers/sisters.
Abubakar thanks for you continues interest toward this course,we are yet to meet with dr. Becouse of our tight schedules but we have discuss on phone and in the nearest future inshaAllah we are goin to meet,so you will be notified as soon as we meet. We are extremely gratefull for others that called like isah muhd, abdulhakeem wale adedogba, henry pwam etc.
I have started discussing with a former DIG and now a practising lawyer having a chamber over the issue and he is very interested to help in giving insight guidance and contributing toward making this cause a reality and other personalities with immense exprience and contact that can augment in setting the pace, but immeadiately after my meeting with Dr. im sure there will be a good kickstart. The initial funding still isnt the issue mr. Isah and mal.umar becouse there is an earmarked money that i humbly pledge and i believe it wll cater for such.
MR.MANZO, MUSA & GIWA however much we want an elite police in the country, nothing will b achieve without a concensus/coordinated cries, our individual cries is a just a single shout in d midst of loud boomeranging noises and thats why dr. Recommend such and we all are intersted, what can be easily archieve with a coordinated body may be impractically impossible by just an individual.WE NEED EACH OTHER FOR THE NOBLE CAUSE.

Victoria schools superintendent says trainer's acts hurt district
Feb. 12, 2014 at 12:02 p.m.
Updated Feb. 11, 2014 at 8:12 p.m.
Victoria school district Superintendent Robert Jaklich frowned on the stand Wednesday when speaking about an East High School athletic trainer who had sex with a student at the Patti Welder Middle School parking lot.
"It is just totally unacceptable," Jaklich said. "It should not have happened."
Jaklich was testifying in the punishment phase of the trial of Jesse Earl Holmes, 32.
Holmes pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of sexual assault of a child. He was arrested in October 2012 after he admitted to police and Jaklich that he had sex with a 15-year-old.
Jaklich said Holmes' arrest damaged the community's trust in the district, which he said is responsible first and foremost for its students' safety.
"We have to overcome that, and that's a tragedy," he said.
Jaklich was not aware Holmes is accused of having sex with another 16-year-old student, who is not the subject of the case heard by a jury Tuesday and Wednesday.
Text messaging students after 9 p.m. is not appropriate, Jaklich said.
That's why teachers must fill out a form with the district in advance that specifies when they will text message students. They must also refrain from text messaging about personal matters or befriending students on Facebook, he said.
During cross examination, Holmes' attorney, Dexter Eaves, tried to understand how Jaklich or other administrators supervise those interactions.
"Do you have any checks and balances to see what's really going on?" Eaves asked.
Eaves was also curious about why the school district's attorney was in the courtroom. He asked Jaklich whether that had anything to do with the victim's family suing VISD. Jaklich said VISD had received a letter from the family but had not been sued.
There was not a lawsuit against VISD on file with the district clerk's office as of Wednesday afternoon.
Assistant District Attorney Johna Stallings objected to the questions' relevance, and Judge Jack Marr sustained her objections.
The girl's mother described life with her daughter after the assaults as a "nightmare."
The family has remodeled the home where one of the assaults took place so it does not call up bad memories. The girl still cries and has angry outbursts, though.
"With prayer and counseling, I feel like she will pull through it," her mother said.
One of the arguments the state has made throughout the case is Holmes knew the girl was susceptible to his influence because her father died of stomach cancer when she was 8.
"It really affected her seeing her daddy waste away," her mother said.
Danna Harrison, a counselor, said the girl is also self-conscious about her club foot.
"She felt that this (being a student trainer) was something she could do that would help her belong," Harrison said. The trainer program is not available at her new school.
Other students have shunned her since Holmes' arrest, too, Harrison said.
"He was well-liked among the students. Everyone was on his side," Harrison said.
The girl also said Holmes had been molested as a child, and something in his life could have triggered his behavior in 2012, Harrison said.
Harrison was not allowed to answer whether she thought a sex offender could be or has been in the past rehabilitated with counseling while serving probation.
Police officer Daniel Boots also testified he could not extract data from the girl's phone and did not enlist a federal agency the Victoria Police Department sometimes works with to do so.
Holmes faces anywhere from two to 20 years in prison. He also asked for probation.
The Victoria Advocate does not identify sexual assault victims. To protect her identity, the newspaper will not name the girl's mother.
The trial recessed early Wednesday after the alleged victim in Holmes' second case did not honor a subpoena. In that case, Holmes is charged with two counts of improper relationship between an educator and a student, second-degree felonies. Officers needed time to pick up the girl from North Texas. The trial resumes at 9 a.m. Thursday.

Amrinder Singh Gill – Diploma in Health Psychology at WelTec
After studying Nursing in India, I decided to come to New Zealand for my higher education. I came here in 2009 for the Diploma in Health Psychology and only recently graduated. I enjoyed every moment of my time in New Zealand and my studies enormously and found my faculty very helpful, supportive and friendly towards international students.
In New Zealand there is a real requirement for continuous student participation which I had missed during my studies in India. I really enjoyed the hands-on, practical nature of my programme and the regular interaction with the tutors.
While studying I gained a job in my field and am now working full time as a health care professional and looking forward to become a permanent resident of this beautiful and friendly country and call it my new home!
I strongly believe that this journey was made memorable by Study Plus and its team from the time I applied for my visa through to my graduation. I am very happy to refer Study Plus to other students and join the growing network of happy and successful students in New Zealand.

The human brain may respond differently to threats based on proximity, trajectory, and expectations, according to a study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dean Mobbs and colleagues at the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at the Medical Research Council in Cambridge, England, used functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, to observe brain activity as 20 study participants watched what they believed to be a live video of researchers placing a tarantula near each participant's foot.
Though the video was actually prerecorded, the participants believed the spider was placed into one of six compartments that the authors manipulated to entice the spider to move toward or away from each participant.
Participants noted their expected and actual fear experiences throughout the experiment.
The authors observed greater activity in the brain's panic response center--and the participants reported greater fear--when the tarantula crept closer than when the tarantula retreated, regardless of the spider's absolute proximity.
Activity in some brain regions fluctuated according to the spider's trajectory, while other regions engaged only during extreme fear or when the spider was most distant from the participant, the authors report.
The results suggest that different components of the brain's "fear network" serve specific threat-response functions.
Additionally, this information may help researchers diagnose and treat patients who suffer from clinical phobias, according to the authors.
