To demean another opinion by any who reject our interpretation of the facts as "twisting" them isn't arguing the facts themselves--it is invalidating another person and attacking their integrity because one disagrees w other points of view. Plenty have, and will continue to, see this very differently.
To diminish another person's interpretation of those very same documents--including time spent by a skilled, qualified attorney--dismissing it as "based upon rumor" downstairs also isn't arguing the facts it is invalidating another person's integrity, and the quality of their own assessment, simply because another disagrees w one's point of view. Boytwnmom did not do a lengthy, time consuming analysis of local gossip--but stated rather she had painstakingly reviewed the custody hearing documents.
To discount other's opinions in this case--who have also been here from the very outset and waded at least as doggedly thru at least as many documents, delved equally into researching legal proceedings, case histories, poured over extensive arrest records, maps etc and w respect and consideration for the time and input by those w greater qualifications, legal and other areas of expertise--as all superfluous or inferior merely because it conflicts w one's own view also isn't arguing facts fairly. It's again slurring a poster and their efforts for simply disagreeing.
The awarding of custody--in Crystal's and in every case--is determined upon an ongoing, fluid, and weighted decision by courts, based upon ever changing circumstances of either parent. Thus far it was 'judges' who decided to dismiss every one in a long series of drug charges against one parent; LE who did nothing about an underaged child living there w dad; and we all know DCF never makes any mistakes. But none of it made it one ounce safer for any of the children involved. Which is why anyone on Haleigh's OR Junior's "side" supports a thorough investigation of any concerns which may exist now in their environment--in which Haleigh was last seen alive and from which she inexplicably disappeared to ensure all present risk factors are identified and in turn addressed. W/e the court decided in the past does not determine what is in the current best interest of Junior--or his sissy if Lord willing she's possibly survived. In that event everyone should be relieved and assured the children are returning to the healthiest environment wherever that's determined to be. On one thing we can agree, this case is not about Crystal and never has been. It is, however, the topic of this thread--including all those who view her as peripheral, a scapegoat and a sideshow; but who understand allegations, by her and by others, warrant a closer look, therefore choose to support her, for the sake of the children, in those efforts.

Again, I don't think many realize how the family court works. The judge didn't review all of the evidence and what he heard was hearsay. If family court worked like criminal and civil court, Crystal would have custody of her children. Also, based on posters who have knowledge of Florida law, RC should have been forced to give the children back to Crystal before a hearing ever took place.
