After the hearing things got much worse for
young Jane and her family. Jane applied for an received protective
orders against Kathy Tull and her son (the baby's father)
from harassing Jane and from entering the Scotts home, which
became permanent on October 14,1994 and are still in effect
today.
After the incident, 16 year old John Doe tried to contact
Jane on numerous occasions. His friends followed her when
she left the house in Blair. Jane was threatened with assault
and became afraid to stay at home alone. School became unbearable
so Jane was taken out of public school and tutored at home.
The entire family was harassed. Due to the harassment, the
family was forced to move from Blair. They wanted Jane to
be able to return to school and be with kids her own age.
Jane gave birth to a daughter in December after the family
had moved away from Blair. She is raising the baby with the
help of her family, but surprisingly enough, no help from
the baby's father or his parents. As of 1995, John Doe was
still on the Blair High Schools football team and an honored
member of the community. The Scotts home that they were forced
to abandon in Blair is frequently vandalized. At the time
(1995) no one had purchased the home, though I'm not certain
if it's been purchase by now.
Kathy Tull had the audacity to be surprised
at the law suit that Jane's family brought against several
members of the
police department, the Tulls, and numerous other people and
organizations. Kathy Tull said she was "appalled that
the Scotts would take public action that their granddaughter
might learn of when she got older."
"At one point," Kathy Tull went on to say, "I
said to my son that if whatever he was going through from
all this was the price he had to pay for that darling little
baby to be alive, it was worth it."
At the time of this writing, there still has been no mention
of any type of financial support from the father or his family.
