Valerie Jackson didn’t have an easy life, but she kept trying to make the best of it; for herself and for her children. Caught between two volatile men, she moved back and forth, hoping each time for peace, for change, for a fresh start. It wasn’t simple. The choices she made weren’t always safe, but they were human, shaped by pressure, control, and fear that rarely showed on the surface.
When everything unraveled in the summer of 2015, it wasn’t sudden. It built slowly, through court files, CPS reports, and the kind of warnings people only fully understand in hindsight. What happened inside that Houston home was brutal, but it wasn’t senseless. It was the result of missed chances, delayed responses, and a cycle of control that never let go.
This is the story of Valerie Jackson: a mother trying to navigate impossible choices, a system that waited too long to act,and the loss of eight lives.
