Uggg on the personal statement by the lawyer that she is more like 12.

I did read a comment from a family friend awhile back that said she wan't a mature 15 yr old but I can't find it now.

"On a personal note, I met Elizabeth for the first time. I was taken aback by who she is. Elizabeth is a little child. She could easily pass for 12. The primary photo used and reprinted so many times by law enforcement, the media, and even our office, is inaccurate. She is a little girl in every sense of the word. This was the abduction of an impressionable, little child."

Thank you for the link!
I appreciate his personal statement. She is a child. I think in that town...it can't be said enough.

I kind of wish he'd shush.

The irony!

CIA Operative - FBI Custody
Romantic Beachside Camping Under the Stars - In a cabin with no electricity/water, snow on the ground
Millionaire - Flat Broke
The best one....Brand Name Cialis = Tadalafil

You just can't make this stuff up!

And the fact that she has suffered "severe" emotional trauma. This is going to be a long road ahead for this little girl. And all of the details on the internet for her "friends" to read and everyone to gossip about. Poor thing!

To who?



Can you imagine how confused she must be? It's likely that coming from a large family, she didn't get a lot of adult attention. Here was an adult giving her the attention and praise she likely craved. And she was an insecure teen, because she was a teen and most are insecure, but also because she had been abused previously and was being bullied at school. Yet here was this man telling her how beautiful she was and what power she had over him to make him be in love, etc. That must have been heady, super flattering stuff.

But her reported conduct in hiding from him, seeking scared of him at times and telling her sibling to find her if he didn't come back the same day, show her gut was telling her this guy is bad news. That the situation wasn't right.


How confusing.


And it appears he used his role as an authority figure over her to control her as well, threatening "consequences" if she didn't meet up with him.


It must be so surreal and conflicting for the poor kid.



That's good. I'm glad only what's needed is being released at this time.



My God, THANK YOU!!!

According to the second video down (toward the end of the piece), Anderson "...wants to reward the man that called in police."

I just clicked on it and it opened large enough to read.

 

[Vedder]

Were they using both or just one?

They were in one cabin.

 

[Vedder]

I haven't wanted to comment in any overtly negative way until Elizabeth was found safe. Now that she is safe, I just have to get this off my chest:

Tad Cummins is one skeevy looking SOB.

(Whew! Held that in for a looooong time.)

Repulsive, skeevots.

I kind of wish he'd shush.

I think that was a pointed statement to their town. I'm glad he said it. Those who have disparaged her and defended and protected TC should feel shame.

JMO, of course.

I did read a comment from a family friend awhile back that said she wan't a mature 15 yr old but I can't find it now.

That was from her sister, Kat, way back when, in response to a question here on the board.

Check thread #5 if you have time.

Kat said that she looks and acts 15 and could NOT pass for an adult.

Looking at her pics, she has a lot of different looks, but I totally agree that no way could she pass for 20-something. IMHO

:cow:

I sure hope the mental health professionals, or trauma specialists or whoever is there to help ET get through this stress STRONGLY to her, to stay off social media (and close the accounts she currently has open).

There is some utterly revolting things being posted to her, about her, this case, etc. This girl does not need to read any of it.

 

[DatelineFan]

She is being evaluated and treated by mental health experts specializing in trauma,” Whatley said in a statement. “There is no doubt that she has suffered severe emotional trauma and that her process of recovery is only just beginning.”

The Thomas family is asking for privacy as “this journey begins.”

Whatley said he met Elizabeth for the first time Friday, saying, “I was taken aback by who she is. Elizabeth is a little child. She could easily pass for 12… she is a little girl in every sense of the word.”

I see where you're coming from. I guess it's just me. I don't know - I'm imagining being 15 and my dad's attorney saying I look 12. JMO

Agreed. I hope the mods here change her name to initials. Its out there can't change it but it would be nice to err on the side of caution going forward.
