Judge orders protectionfor retarded woman, child LUBBOCK (AP) — A district judge’s order takes extra precaution to protect a profoundly retarded woman and her child from her brother- in-law, who has been accused of raping the woman and fathering the child. District Judge Brad Underwood Tuesday is sued the order after ruling there is “clear and present danger of family violence” from Jimmy Wayne Wooten toward Debra Lynn Thomas and her son, David Lynn Thomas, who was born Jan. 1. Children’s Protective Services caseworker Hortensia Estrada appealed to the court for the protective order to ensure the safety of Thomas and her baby. Thomas was released from University Medical Center on Monday to a temporary group home for retarded residents run by the state, according to Dona Hamilton, an assistant attorney general. Wooten was being held Wednesday in the Lubbock County Jail on $250,000 bond. The court ordered Wooten to refrain from committing family violence on Thomas or David Lynn Thomas or any member of their household and from directly communicating with Thomas and David Lynn Thomas or any member of their household in a threatening or harassing manner. The judge also ordered Wooten not to go within 100 yards of the home of the woman and her son and not to go near the residence of his wife, Dori Wooten, who is caring for the baby. The order also says Wooten cannot go to or near the Lubbock residence of Scott and Kathy Ramsey, where David Lynn Thomas sometimes stays, and says he cannot remove David Lynn Thomas from the possession of Mrs. Wooten or from the jurisdiction of the court. The order does not prohibit Wooten from vis iting with his two children and wife. Underwood also ordered Mrs. Wooten, Thomas’ sister and legal guardian, to abide by Tuesday’s order, and he ordered Mrs. Wooten not to allow Wooten to violate any of the orders. Wooten, 40, was arrested and charged last week in the April rape of Thomas, 33, his sister- in-law and a profoundly retarded former Lub bock State School resident. According to police, Thomas has the mental capacity of a 2-year-old and does not realize she has given birth. Officials said DNA tests comparing the blood of Thomas’ child to blood samples given to police by Wooten and 10 state school employees re sulted in Wooten’s arrest. Mrs. Wooten will continue to care for the baby, said Fred Seale, regional director for the Depart ment of Human Services. Humana orientation Court denies appeal for damages AUSTIN (AP) — The mother of a man who drowned because of the negligence of a state mental health facility cannot receive monetary damages for her grief, the Texas Su preme Court ruled. The court Wednesday denied the appeal of Vera Bell Robinson, who sought mental anguish damages stemming from her son’s 1984 death. Tommy Robinson, 27, drowned while in the care of the Central Texas MHMR Center, which took him and other clients swimming at Lake Brown wood. In an earlier ruling, the state Su preme Court upheld a jury verdict that the facility’s negligence in not providing Robinson, an epileptic, with a life preserver, led to his death. But that jury awarded only fune ral expenses to Robinson’s mother. She appealed that ruling to the 11th Court of Appeals in Eastland and lost. The Supreme Court, by de nying a writ of error in the case, upheld that decision. Robinson was Tommy’s grand mother and adopted him as her son, according to her attorney’s court pleadings. She raised him from the time he was 5 but admitted him to the facility about two years before his death be cause of her age and she felt he could receive better care there, her attorney said. Humana Hospital is offering an orientation meeting at 6:30 p.m. to day in 200 Heldenfels for Texas A&M students interested in volun teering during the spring semester. Volunteers would be involved with the Aggie Volunteer Program organized to give medical students and other health-oriented students pratical experience in a healthcare setting.
