Sensationalism. Pure and simple.
Look at all the controversy that this one little show created. Now Ron is being seen as a liar by people that were on the fence before and all because a lot of people can't seem to distinguish between past and present tense. Ron is in the same situation I am in some ways. If I said that I never have done drugs, I'd be lying. If I say I am not doing any drugs now, I would be telling the truth.
This was an excuse for bio mom to rant and rave on the air and try to gain custody of her son, IMO. You can bet when she goes back to court, and she will, this tape will be played and she thinks it will work in her favor.
From what I have seen, bio mom and her family have already written Haleigh off as a loss.
So maybe we can remember her. What Ron said tonight was correct, for me, she is alive until they prove me wrong. Period. Let's focus on the point that everyone else seems to have forgotten. That point is Haleigh, not who did what to whom before she was born.
To find someone in the present, we must focus on the present. Or at least the time since Haleigh's birth.
Why do I feel like just this simple request is asking too much?
