ME ME - Ayla Reynolds, 20 mnths, Waterville, 17 December 2011 - # 8

[Detective Klimpt]

I have to be honest. I don't find it that odd the JD purchased life insurance for Ayla. Having been an insurance agent, I know how often agents will "upsell" a client. JD may have contacted the agency (his friend) to obtain insurance for himself, after having been advised this would be the responsible thing to do for your child, and while there, may have been pitched the child policy at a discounted rate. Those pitches can be very persuasive and the policies can be used as a college fund for later in life. A young, healthy man like JD, would have been able to purchase a policy for about $25 a month and adding Ayla would most likely only have increased the rate by a few dollars. His friend may have even pressured him by using the 'ole, "I will get a commission" pitch, which is unethical, but possible... Just some thoughts and jmo. But, not every detail points to guilt. I think JD has enough against him without having to see nefarious intent in every action...respectfully, of course, just my own opinion.

I agree completely. In fact, I posted something very similar on Peter Hyatt's comment section and he deleted it. It seems he deletes anything that doesn't agree with his theories. Whatever...I do not think Justin purchased this insurance policy with ulterior motives.

Honestly? You think someone in rehab planned a child's disappearance so they could sue child services? Trista doesn't strike me as the evil mastermind type. :twocents:

After reading about Josh Powell's kids, not to mention Sky Metawala, I think holding these agencies accountable is long overdue.

BBM

That is not what I mean at all. I should clarify, and I have stated many times that I don't think TR has anything to do with this case (other than her going to rehab was the catalyst).

But the lawsuit and insurance are both unnecessary pieces of info that have been released IMO. Does nothing to help bring Ayla home, and only serve to smear people/agencies. JD is not going to respond, DHHS is not going to respond, and the police are not going to confirm anything. So, I fail to see how either piece of info is relevant or progressive, for lack of a better word. Aside from that, now people are just going to start focusing on TR and the whole custody/DHHS thing again---which many think has no bearing. TR is making it an issue by threatening to sue.

I think people should have learned from Casey Anthony that the court of public opinion means absolutely nothing in a court of law. :twocents::twocents:

1) It is alleged that JD doesn't want to be a parent and took little interest in Ayla for the first months of her life.

2) JD gains temporary custody of Ayla when TR goes to rehab. It is alleged that the DiPietro family had an inside connection with DHHS.

3) Mysterious injuries: pulled muscle, bruising from non existant ball pit at CEC, fallen on by JD on a night when it was probably not raining, treatment delayed due to JD's CDL class which seems not to match up with dates of class.

4) Unemployed JD takes out life insurance policy on toddler he has only temporary custody of and seeks to have support payments terminated.

5) Justin refused to let TR see or speak to Ayla and missed follow up appointment with specialist.

6) On a normal Friday night on which young adults all go to bed at 10PM, Ayla coincidentally sleeps in her room alone. Take your pick on when the last time she was seen or who discovered her missing as there are several versions. Ayla goes missing from a small house with three adults. Neighbors note a car arriving and leaving, a loud noise in the night, but the three adults in the home hear nothing.

7) JD doesn't speak to the media or take an LDT intially because of "emotional stress". When he does issue statements, they are defensive in nature and address accusations made against him.

8) PD describes normal, non partying night at the DiPietro home and later "clarifies" that she was not present.

9) JD and LE disagree as to whether he was informed of his LDT results. Most surmise he failed. He is unaware if his sister, mother or girlfriend have taken LDTs.

10) This Little Light of Maine is launched to garner sympathy for the DiPietros and lavish praise on long time girlfriend CR.

11) Ayla's blood is found in the DiPietro basement.

12) JD drives brother LD to find and beat down the father of ED's baby. JD as usual, knows nothing.

Is every one of these allegations absolutely true? I don't know. Could there be an innocent explanation for some of these actions? Maybe. Is it possible that all of these seemingly incriminating actions and statements are lies, misunderstandings and coincidences? I don't think it's possible. When I look at the big picture, everything points to JD, family members and CR. ED needs to get her lawyer to talk deal. All MOO.

...she is planning to sue the Department of Health and Human Services because she says she had urged them to visit Ayla at Ayla’s father’s Waterville home and Trista says they did not.

Also taken from that article....

Citing privacy reasons, a DHHS spokesman would not comment on this case, but the director of the Office of Child and Family Services says in general "We have to have a report. Somebody has to let us know that there are specific concerns that rise to the level of us being involved."

Seriously? Do your job! Make sure you know where and with whom you are placing that child and make sure above all that with those above mentioned that the child is less likely to be in danger than where you took her from.
Sheesh!!

MOO

I want to share something that I don't think most people realize:

When a Child Welfare Agency is involved in a high profile case like this, the agency cannot say anything while the family can say whatever they want. I am pointing this out not to defend the agency, but to say that I can promise you we know very little of the true story.

I work for a Child Welfare Agency and we had a high profile tragedy awhile back. The families involved took to the media with their claims and those claims were not true. The agency could not say anything. To this day, the public does not know the truth and to this day, the family members repeat the lies. This event demonstrated to me how little of the truth we know by what comes out of the mouths of the media or the families.

Very few people are 100% good or 100% evil and trying to pigeonhole either of the parents in this case causes problems. CPS is flawed, however you look at it. But who holds the blame? Everyone (mom, dad, maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, aunts, friends, CPS, everyone) to some degree, but that is a hard answer to live with.

 

[joyless]

What does Justin DO for work? Or what did he do? How about the sister? The girlfriend? Does "mama" Dipeitro support them all? I'm still thinking drugs had/have something to do with all of this....I also think Ayla was "gone" before the night they claim...no one will say when Ayla was last seen...this crew is gonna be hard to crack. I wish someone would pay the girlfriend or any one of them to "rat".

This is the best post I have EVER read on this forum. I agree with this more than I can even express.

I also think people fail to realize that for a child to be removed from a home or from their parent's care, there has to be a big problem. Not just I need to go to rehab, DHHS doesn't give ultimatums like that. They take your child and make you work a plan to get them back. They're not going to just assign rehab, there will be parenting classes, probably anger management (since this situation was brought on by a fight), and other steps.

At any rate, I applaud you for your post!

They already have a 30k incentive to rat, and they have not. :twocents:

Where is Ayla???

 

[Detective Klimpt]

Seriously? Do your job! Make sure you know where and with whom you are placing that child and make sure above all that with those above mentioned that the child is less likely to be in danger than where you took her from. Sheesh!!MOO

Suppose they did more of what you think they should have done with the checking out of Justin. From what we all know about him prior to the disappearance of Ayla makes him look like a better choice for a parent than Trista. MOO If Trista's sister had not called LE at the time of the fighting, would DHHS even have been called in? Would Trista have even gone to rehab? I say, probably not. Everyone is giving Trista all these kudos for getting help, when it really wasn't her choice at all, was it?

I doubt very much if she is going to stay sober. I'll bet she is drinking again already. To go to detox, that means you are in really bad shape, like getting the DT's if you don't have a drink. That's a lot more serious condition than the problem drinking that can just use some self control and kick the habit with abstinence.

 

[cluciano63]

If Ayla was deemed not to be safe, or less safe, in the home with TR's relatives, why was her baby allowed to stay? Shouldn't he have been taken into foster care? I know the obvious answer is probably because no one was pushing to get him, but I don't understand how the environment TR had preferred for Ayla while she was in rehab could have been so unsuitable, if CPS did not remove the younger child. JMO

I really don't understand some of the hostility toward TR on this board. Whatever happened, she is paying the ultimate price, due IMO to something done to Ayla by JD or at the very least, his negligence. JMOJMOJMOJMO

bbm. This sentence negates any defense anyone has for cps IF cps had a role in Ayla being removed. If I recall correctly, the LE was told by the cps that Justin had permission to take ayla. How did cps know that Justin was ayla's real father and not some nut off the street? It would and does take more then two weeks to legally work through all the channels of custody arrangements. We can obviously see that because Justin linnel does not have custody of his daughter yet!!!! If we go by how CPA handled Ayla GD should already be with her dad by now.

Ayla was not moved from her aunt/grandma's care because their home was deemed unsafe---she was removed because her biological father exercised his parental rights. Perhaps the little boy's father didn't care or was unavailable.
