Do you think that Haleigh and Jr's beds being in the master bedroom where the Father cohabits illegally with his underage lover is NOT abuse? Do you think that RC exposing the children (through Misty or not) to RSO's regularly is NOT abuse? Do you think that exposing those children to known drug offenders and current drug dealers is NOT abuse? The child remaining in the home being supervised by the person who was responsible for Haleigh when she goes missing and LE states she is the key to the case...and he marries her...these things are of no concern?? When is the right time to protect a child????
Wow! So all those couples I saw marry as teens who are still married fall into a 1% category and come from my hometown! Amazing!
(bold above by me)ANY allegation of a parent exposing his or her child to a RSO should be well and truly investigated. What is there for RC to fear if all these allegations are false?
I think that much the same sort of logic was espoused during the Salem witch trials, and the proceedings of the House UnAmerican Activities Committee
I don't disagree with the importance of vigilance and prompt response. This was not my point. I am trying to stress the inevitable outcome of a 'guilty until proven innocent' philosophy. Unfounded and unsubstantiated third party allegations should not be the basis for punitive action.i get what your saying but
witch hunts have nothing to do with parents that expose thier children to an rso that is just not the same i agree if its any allegation it should be checked out thoroughly and the child not be exposed to that person until its proven they are or arnt ...a responsible parent doesnt knowingly expose thier children to an rso
(bold above by me)So you feel that LE and the Family Court system in the Satsuma area is equal to the Salam Witch Trials and the House UnAmerican Activities Committee? Hmmm...And I feel so patriotic when I protect the interests of a child. You see I was once a child such as this. If noone had investigated I would be dead. So now I dedicate my life to protecting the rights of children. Not witch hunting nor Communist hunting, just child advocate. Children come first.
I sincerely don't understand what you mean Texasmommy; What portion of one's life is not subject to scrutiny when one's child has gone missing?
That's pretty darned convenient for her, don't you think?
If I understand this position correctly then she can say whatever she wants to, in any venue she chooses to. She can do this with complete disregard to facts, substantiation, or any collateral damage done whether present or future. She can choose to publicly repeat rumor, innuendo, third party opinion, or even make things up out of whole cloth...
... and the DCFS is responsible for whatever happens.
No wonder that outfit has such a bad rep.
That's what I said! I'm glad we agree.Crystal can only make the report of what she's been told and what she herself is willing to go on record as having witnessed herself. DFS will investigate. That's what the system is set up to do.
Only reporting what I heard.The nurses log reports a cut not a scratch a serious enough one they contacted family and someone from the family went to the school. The script shows when she was at the hospital and also shows the 11/6 as incident date.
Forgive me, do you have a link for the "ongoing custody dispute"? Is it in the records? I was under the impression that the attorney says there wasn't one at this time, but this has been going on for years? Do you happen to know how many times CS has been before the judge on custody issues since RC was awarded custody? I'm very interested. TIAIf she was reporting abuse and there was an ongoing custody issue which there was the courts are notified and the Judge reviews the DCF file. There are not notations indicating that happened.
ITA...there were better ways of handling this.I just finished reading this entire thread again, and just wanted to point out that while there is much debate going on in here, it appears we are really all on the same side. Nobody disputes an investigation in the alleged abuse to the children by Ron. In fact we are all in agreement that this investigation is important to assure the well being of Jr, and hopefully Haleigh if we are blessed to get her back alive. Our division seems to stem from Crystal, her mother and attorney mudslinging this all over national TV and other media sources while appropriate authorities are attending to these allegations. Crystals attorney is not helping her by parading her all over the media with this issue and there is nothing to benefit from doing so, but I can see much to lose from it all IMO. If DCF finds grounds to remove Jr from Ron's custody, then I'm all for it. Until then I don't think it's fair to paint an ugly picture of Ron through the media, it's called slander IMO, and it's not fair.

The links for the nurses log and the script are no longer working. I am sure if you type in Haleigh and nurses log in google you can find someone who copied the log before it was removed from the site.
