possibly bruises werent showing yet. The report said that the Croslins went there because Misty called them because of an altercation between her and ron...do we know if it was physical or not? IMO she had to cover being hit, might show later....moooc
The Croslins alleged that is why they went there. They could say they went there because the dog confessed, it wouldn't make it true.
I think it's possible the Croslins had another agenda, anything's possible LOL.
