Keith Jackson is a registered sex offender. He isn't a babysitter. However, as things seem to happen, he was left with three children, to babysit while their mother went to work.
After the mother left, Jackson apparently raped one of the children- a seven year old girl. He then walked out of the home for a moment, and the children locked him out.
While I am horrified that these children were put into this position, I have to say that their quick thinking is impressive. We have no idea what would have happened if Jackson would have been able to access the home again, and these children really should be commended for being brave enough to lock that door.
On the other hand, I've said it time and time again- KNOW who you are leaving your children with. There is very little that will excuse not taking the few moments it takes to log onto any number of sites and do a search for registered sex offenders. Check out everyone that has the ability to come into contact with your children, and if you find someone on that list- do everything possible to distance yourself AND your children from them.

"Jackson goes out of the apartment for a brief moment. The kids lock him out and he causes a disturbance by punching and pounding on the door to get back in," said Mike Hanson, public information officer with the Madison Police Department. "Fortunately, someone else called mother to come home and the police were called as well."
