I wonder how DT would feel about that....

Does anyone recall the video news report from early on that said DT was waiting for her main figure of support to arrive home today - her father was out of town when Somer vanished was due back this day and DT was looking forward to his arrival....(something to that affect - don't quote me but that was the just of it.)

At that time I saw it, I asked myself "was that just a slap in DT's mom's face???? or am I reading too much into it....."

I decided I was likely reading too much into it, but now that I think of it again, has anyone even seen DT's mom consoling her daughter (or vise versa) - a hug even or an arm around one another - a touch, hand on arm/hand or anything? and certainly NOT facing the camera's FIRMLY side by side....more like distance between them but present together nonetheless.

You are right I don't see the parents really out there with DT but I'm sure they love the grandkids very much. I hope who ever ends up with custody loves those kids and does right by them
I feel so sorry for these kids

Thinking further yes, I don't see either parent consoling DT, but yet that report said more less, her father is HER anchor.

Seems weather & news reporters can deliver whatever news they like....and without back-up or accountability.

EVEN we are asked to provide backup here amongst ourselves and we are just a group of concerned individuals. I don't mean "just" as in only like we don't count - cuz we do (IMO)....goodness knows there's much to be gained from/by a collection of people with the same common concern.

Justice for Somer!

I believe the media has much more info they are not reporting and LE has requested them to refrain due to concerns already metioned.

I agree.....

But, I should have said my rant about weather & news reports was just that - a rant, not necessarily specific to THIS case....I see that in general what is reported isn't necessarily FACTUAL nor - as it seems in Somer's story - are they necessarily the facts as they may know them.

And yes it's understandably so.

(I can see by reading my babble, I really need to put a pot of coffee on...tarabull out.)

I think that along with the imperfect plan quote. Kind of weird to me. Sounds like someone who knows something or may do something not too nice. IMO

Hello everyone! I have only been a member here for a few days, and have been trying to review the past few threads in order not to post in a redundant or repetitive manner. I haven't gone back to the beginning, so if something I post has been discussed or put to rest, just let me know. I am not sure I understand the quote feature, so please bear with me as I get used to the protocol here. I have in common with all of you that I care very much about what happened to Somer, how and why. I am interested to know, if we can determine such things, whether Somer was a victim of a predator, neglect, an accident, etc. So, thanks for any help or understanding you are willing to provide!

lol

I wanted to quote your post, so I clicked on the Quote button under your message.

As far as quoting multiple posts, you use the Quote mark icon for every post you want to quote and the Quote button for the last one?

But I'm hit and miss on the success rate on that option, and usually end up with my quoted posts in the wrong order and have to rearrange.

I think fresh eyes will help ... so don't worry if you ask about something already talked about.

I think you are joking, but just in case ...

I wouldn't recommend anyone do this. Because some may be intentional by LE but more are errors by reporters not taking the time to get the facts straight. But I think they have better things to do than address requests like this. JMO

You are correct Noway - it was a joke...

On the issue of garbage:

If I am a homeowner (or businessowner) in Orange Park and I need to replace a window that my kid knocked out with his soccer ball (or broken by vandals or attempted robbery), and I decide that since I have to fix the window, I'll replace it with a bigger one, which I've always wanted to do (and I'm handyman enough to do it myself) ...

Do I have to throw the drywall, glass, etc. into a construction debris dumpster or can I (and do most) throw it in my residential trash (business dumpster)?

My daughter used to take dance class at a studio that was in an area label "industrial". Nice building. Cheap rent. It was surrounded by window companies, construction company and all kinds of industrial things. Anyway, at the back of the property there were dumpsters. People used to throw all kinds of things in and around the dumpster. Not just the people who worked or frequented the businesses.

I don't live in Orange Park or Florida. Where I live, construction debris goes to a separate dumpster if it's a huge amount. Otherwise, if it's not so much,the homeowner just munches up what they can and puts it into a garbage can.

It depends on the size of the project. To remove a window, you are going to have a lot of garbage that wouldn't fit into a garbage can no matter how much you tried to munch it, so you would have to bring it to a dump and pay to have it disposed.

We no longer have a landfill where I live, but the homeowner or whomever, drives to the former landfill and can pay to dispose of tires, frigs, whatever. Just what was listed like on the Chesser landfill I believe. NO ONE can sneak in. They have guys there looking at every load and telling you where to put the different stuff in your load. The people there also have free piles for stuff that others can dig through ,and I think the people that work there take the good stuff.

It's a lenghty answer, but if you are asking can someone throw construction materials inito the garbage. Yes. No problem.

The other thing, that is different from where I live, is that we pay for our garbage and it is not attached to anything.

In OP the garbage is paid on an electric bill if IIRC, so no one would notice or care about someone putting something into a dumpster.

Here people are much more aware because we all pay by volume. The greater the volume, the more you pay.

Personaly I think Somer is a victim of society as we know it.
I will bet money that everyone knew this was a train wreck ready to happen
The state has a responsablity to make sure children are safe even within there families.
How many times have we seen that loving family members try to intervene
and the state does nothing
We know there are rumors of drugs , suicide and as other things not yet reported in the media
We can see the family try to cope with this best they can and provide support
I think the dept of family service needs to step up and start proctecting kids like they are supposed to do and stop dropping the ball

When I look at the area labeled Industrial Loop on google, it seems like a place someone could do this....Just drop something off. Since I'm not from the area...What do locals think? Cam?. Or was it determined that these aren't the right kind of dumpsters? Anyway, have to get to home schooling soon so sleuthing will be sporadic.

Somer was from Clay County, found in Charlton County, GA, landfill --

Haleigh was from Putnam County, found in . . . .

Is it possible that the garbage from Putnam County is taken to Brunswick?

Just wondering if that's what tree hugger was trying to say?

Not so much that it wouldn't fit in a dumspter. JMO

And isn't that what where Somer was placed? As far as what we believe as fact?

OT ... heard on TV last night (don't know context in which it was said but it was a joke): Assumption is almost fact.
