I don't think anyone could id a "black man dressed in black, with a ski mask on".....
Bingo. The interview was idiotic but hardly dangerous to Jr since his image has been shown all over the place.

No bashing- just an observation that was pointed out to me by one of my friends in Law Enforcement- but not working on this case.
From an investigative angle, it is actually more suspicious that Ron has not made negative remarks about Crystal- because it points to him having a feeling about who may have been involved- LE does not recognize dignity or restraint in cases like this. Keep that in mind. They are looking at clues and tips and hard information.
I wasn't referring to her holding a gun on him during the interview. Of course for the immediate moment he wasn't in danger. However, we don't know where Haleigh is, who took her, and why. As long as there are outstanding questions...the motive is unknown and if retalliation is part of the case...it would stand to reason there could be a danger of Rj knowing too much information about the perp to identify him. Silencing a witness can happen many ways.
I do not believe the father's family put Rj's photo out there and they did not want his story out in the media (neither did LE). TN made it very clear they are more concerned about his safety and take this possible threat quite seriously. I back them 100%. When LE tells them to stay quiet, they listen. Crystal has shown repeatedly she doesn't care enough to keep her mouth shut for Rj or Haleigh's sakes. She is more interested in revenge and money, imo.
I disagree. In the south, you couldn't begin to imagine the offense that is taken to being called "black", I myself am not AA but am offended when I hear it being said.
I don't think RJ would have said "black man" myself. He is only 4 years old. Unless 4 year olds are taught to refer to AA's as "black people" he would have described them differently.
Crystal did not endanger her son any more than his father has by releasing photos of him playing with his sister. He sat on her lap and munched on chips. In fact, if you watch the 10 minutes he's on GR, you'll see he offered nothing in the way of identification on the perp. Except of course that he was dressed in black and had squeaky shoes. The camera was not on him directly for more than a couple seconds. Most of the time it was a side shot and mostly of his hair.

I hate to disagree with you, mydailyop, but I must do so respectfully on this point. This is not my experience, and I have lived here my entire life.
Before I launch into a full explanation/argument, I need to know:
Are you using "black" instead of the "N" word?
I am not aware of the father or his family putting out photos of Rj, but they certainly did not say, "He saw the perp take Haleigh" and then give details nor did they have Rj do it for the sake of ratings!! GRRRR!Crystal did not endanger her son any more than his father has by releasing photos of him playing with his sister. He sat on her lap and munched on chips.

You might want to look at that slideshow of pictures that someone posted on another thread, images of Jr. and Haleigh provided by Ron. So I will respectfully disagree with you on the notion that Ron and his family have not put out Jr.'s image.
I don't know her motives for going on the GR show, and don't agree that she should have attempted to get her son to relay his story for the media like that. But it is a stretch to suggest she's put her child in danger because of it. Jr's image was out there long before he was on the show.
I beg to differ. I think that there is a huge gap between showing pictures of your family in order to get your missing child's image out to the public and putting your non-missing child live on national television in an attempt to prove that he saw the alleged kidnapped and has identified his appearance. The former is normal protocol when a child is missing, getting the child's image out there, while the latter is self-serving and dangerous.
Was reading the Geraldo thread and saw that
putting her son on tv turned Crystal into a murderer!
Really? We don't know who all was in on that.
Bad judgement imo, but can't call her a murderer yet...
I am not aware of the father or his family putting out photos of Rj, but they certainly did not say, "He saw the perp take Haleigh" and then give details nor did they have Rj do it for the sake of ratings!! GRRRR!
I don't understand how people can refute the implication of Rj having been made to do this and how he could be affected in the long run. It is definitely NOT a stretch because LE suggested it to TN as a reason not to mention it...and they did not.
They did. TN said they did. So we have heard about it already soon after Crystal started running her mouth about it!! LE did NOT want the information out to the media or the public!gettin silly to assume that this raw interview on GR will result in her losing custody of Jr. Ronald has FULL custody already. She has standard visitation. I think it irresponsible of her to do the interview, because it just innapropriate, but it's not a crime and it's not endangering him, no more than several images being release by the Cummings family, no more dangerous than leaving him in the care at night with a 17 yr. old who clearly is no more smarter than crystal herself, no more dangerous than the myspace images that are still out there. Jr is Crystals son....someone dare threaten to take my parental rights away because I mis-stepped in this manor? Over my dead body! Palease spare me the bantor of she shouldnt have any children....blah blah blah. Ronald isn't going to be able to do squat because of this. Thats like the pot calling the kettle black. As ignorant as what we think of what she did, it is uncalled for to get all in an uproar.
I wonder if LE even considers using what Jr. said...you'd think if it was useful info or reliable in anyway, they would of told both families to keep that information hush. But to our knowledge, they havent. Or we'd heard about it by now.
I have seen several times people indicate that Crystal is uneducated, that she is weak, that she was taken advantage of, and did not use common sense as excuses to why she did this interview. If I bought all those excuses it still does not explain why she did not take the opportunity in the last 3 interviews when she has been bashing Ron, putting Rj in danger, or telling everyone she is really mad at the rumor about her missing and dna, to plead for the return of her missing daughter. It does not take a well educated, common sense, or strong person to do that it just takes a loving mother.
