CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #25

[princessk]

Agreed, PrincessK!

Or better yet, Dylan :\

Dylan would join from his new iphone......since he is an avid texter, he would be all over a new iphone with apps and internet right at his fingertips.....

I hope he would feel loved to see all of the threads we have filled here, putting so much time and energy into trying to bring him home!

 

[mijamawi]

can you please provide a link where MR said he didn't do anything.

IIRC he has said that he doesn't want the focus to be on him

Missing teen Dylan Redwine’s father says he had nothing to do with disappearance

 

[princessk]

I have a pretty good sixth sense myself, and mine tells me that Dylan is at the bottom of Vallecito Lake....and not by accident. Boy, I hope I am wrong.

 

[eileenhawkeye]

IMO as a father to Dylan he owes it ONLY TO HIS YOUNGEST SON, DYLAN to do whatever it takes to find him and bring him home..(even if that means a no longer alive Dylan he deserves to be brought home and laid to rest as his family so sees fitting)..obviously jmo, tho.



*post below is in reply to the above post*


Venom?..IMO the post above is not at all spewing venom, it is very succinctly expressing the frustration felt by many who see how someone who has the media's attention to use as one of the best tools possible to find your missing child IS BEING OUTRIGHT UNWILLING TO USE the "gift" that hundreds of other parents of missing children would LITERALLY GIVE THEIR VERY OWN LIFE TO HAVE THIS TOOL AVAILABLE THEM TO HELP TO FIND AND BRING HOME THEIR CHILD..

Its not at all IMO unusual for someone...anyone to be frustrated when seeing such a very real opportunity to help find a parent's missing child..to see the door literally shut and closed on such an opportunity is frustrating..jmo


(*I labeled the above 2 statements as (*a) and (*b) so as to distinguish my replies to each*)
(*a)
In speaking of the above IMO its quite evident exactly what the post to which the above is a reply, is speaking of the clear fact that the parent, the quite literal court appointed legal guardian of Dylan at the time he went "missing" is his father, MR.. NOT brother, CR..and NOT mother ER..But only father, MR had both legal and physical custody of his youngest son, Dylan during the time in which Dylan "disappeared"..<-- while this IMO is FACT, however my reply to what is the meaning of Eileen730's post is merely JMO.

(*b)
ITA that we all have the freedom of choice to believe whomever we choose..but IMO it gets awfully concerning when we must believe EVERYONE ELSE IS ALWAYS LYING WHEN IT COMES TO MR..
WRT to this specific issue IMO its not LE vs CR as is implied above.. IMO that's a manipulation of sorts due to the fact the statement made by LE that's being referred to above has zero to do with Cory's statement.. the comparison is flawed due to the fact that the two are separate and in no way connected ..meaning that quite literally in this scenario ONE does not have to be a lie in order for THE OTHER ONE to be true..they are mutually exclusive to one another. Jmo.


Again we here, as well as any member of the public are imo irrelevant to the fact that he, as Dylan's father OWES IT TO NO ONE BUT HIS SON, DYLAN to do everything humanly possible to ensure Dylan is found and brought home.. IMO keeping his son's face at the forefront is imperative in this situation(especially if its true that MR isn't involved and his son is the victim of a stranger/loose acquaintance, random abduction).. ESPECIALLY IF THATS TRUE THEN ITS CRITICAL TO KEEP DYLANS FACE AND NAME OUT THERE!

Doing so is not for me, or for any other member of the community or public.. THATS FOR ONE AND ONLY ONE PERSON..HIS YOUNGEST SON, DYLAN..

Besides doesn't everyone remember that MR, himself has stated publicly to NOT worry about him(MR) that everything's gonna be absolutely fine on his end?

Agreed.

I don't understand this idea that because some people on the Internet might be critical, that MR should not talk to the media. :waitasec:

Thank you, Smooth! Is there a smilie for a standing ovation?

don't worry I found a link to the story

http://kdvr.com/2012/11/27/missing-teens-father-discusses-exhaustive-search/

although thats what the story heading is there is no quote from MR that he had nothing to do with Dylans disappearance.

ETA A missing child is not able to advocate for themselves, they are reliant on their families to advocate for them, that IMO means both parents should be doing everything possible to get awareness circulating in every way possible. If a parent isn't prepared to do that for their child then why would the media or the general public?

 

[mijamawi]

nothing is coming up for me at that link. I believe you that he said that though. Why wouldn't he? Of course he would say that. Either way.

that link took me to a site that requires a log in so I have to ask is it actually MSM?

So sorry about the link. I have no clue where that other thing came from. Must have been something I was doing on Pinterest.

BBM, Right, that's what the media said he said. Hmmm, wonder if they're putting words in his mouth that he never said. :waitasec:

[kkdj]

Dylans Dad never said his phone went dead or he lost reception he last says he tells Dylan to call him! Didnt he? Im very sure Dylan would have said rut ro my phone died
I have to plug in or would have told dad he needed a new phone. JMO

If Dylan were at the house he would have gone online and tried to contact his friend to tell him his cell had died.

Im sorry!
I think this child vanished with his phone at 8 something Sunday evening!
I cant explain it away!

JMO

Nope! I Can't get past that either!

It is just infuriating to me that so many people here at WS would literally do anything possible to help find Dylan and/or get more people looking for him, and his own father cannot be bothered.

We have had family members of missing people come to WS asking for help in attracting media attention, begging really, more than once. And of course, members jump in and send emails, make calls, give links, etc.

Even Dylan, with his classic "movie star" good looks is not going to remain in the news much longer. And many kids who are thought by the media to be less "appealing" to a wide audience never make it at all. It is heartbreaking for those families and selfish, to say the
least, of MR to worry about himself at a time like this.

Feel free to skip my posts, lol, as this topic of MR turning down interviews really sent my BP
soaring...

Ditto. IMO the only reason he met with media before was to deflect attention away from himself.

Considering that LE is not talking, the only way this case is staying in the news is through Dylan's parents talking to the media. If they decide not to talk, the case will leave the news cycle. If months later, the parents are ready to talk, the media might decide that since they haven't mentioned the case in months, and since they never gave it much coverage to begin with, their viewers aren't interested. Now, I would like to think that at least one local media outlet would give the parents air-time whenever they want it, but I don't think parents should take the risk of ignoring the media, because "they will always be there".

 

[cluciano63]

Me again...

I was thinking about Billie Dunn, Hailey's mom, and if she truly does not have knowledge of what happened to Hailey, how she put herself out there on TV and in-home interviews when she was truly vilified beyond belief and every dirty secret of her life was exposed. She still faced the music, as it were. After a while, I even began to believe her, as no one would have been surprised if she chose to "lay low". (Still think her bf knows something though.) And she was a POI, admitted to failing a lie detector test, etc.

Also Haleigh Cumming's poor mom took a ton of crap from the public, as well as from Nancy Grace, but she kept on showing her face and begging on her child's behalf. Her drug records, issues with custody and CPS, etc. came out for everyone to hash out.

There was the father of Briann Rodriguez, who failed a LD test but never stopped showing himself to beg on his daughter's behalf until the killer was found. And as I mentioned earlier, Ed Smart, who many thought was "creepy" and guilty.

I guess my point is, you just do it. It is not about you. Sorry to say, but your feelings are so much less important than what your child might be enduring.

I can only think of a few parents who have chosen to hide out instead, Terri Horman for one, and she has been the quiet focus of the case for two and a half years now.

Ugh, okay, I think I am done with this subject now.

Yes, I posted this earlier. If he changes his mind, it might be too late, other news taking priority.

....

What you said^^^^^. There have been so many missing children where the parents went through the wringer just to make sure their child's face kept staying in the public eye. Oddly enough, the more "dirt" that can be found on the parents, the more "interesting" the public finds it, and the more likely more stories will be written.

Although I do have to think, at what point do you go on with your life? (This seems too soon for me, MOO) You cannot really work a day job with a camera in your face. Someone has to pay the bills. Siblings need to adjust to life as it is. All people handle things their own way.
