Just days before jury selection was set to begin, Broward prosecutors dismissed aggravated child abuse charges against a Cooper City couple on Friday, according to Broward officials. Having lost their children to foster care, their jobs with the Broward County School District, their home to foreclosure and their car to repossession, Darren Jones, 44, and his wife Serena, 43, faced state prison time for the alleged beating of their 16-year-old daughter in early 2011. "We believed that the Lord would vindicate us," Darren Jones told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in a telephone interview late Friday. "This was just a light affliction. I have no right to be angry at one solitary person." His wife, Serena, agreed. Appearing Friday morning before Broward County Circuit Court Judge Andrew Siegel, prosecutors Tony Loe and Hussein Sony El Rashidy did not explain their decision not to pursue charges against the couple when entering a “Nolle Prosequi” or dismissal of charges
