The reason for that was she was born with Spina Bifida. Not because of abuse.

Thanks...I wasn't aware of that because all the reports I have read never mentionend why she was in a special program.

Just found this on Fox:-

Michael Carroll, 36, is a repeat sexual offender fresh out of prison. He's spent a total of 10 years in Florida jails for various sexual offenses with teenage boys. He's had no therapy, and he understands why neighbors don't want him next door.

"At this point right now, Mr. Carroll has no restrictions placed on him," said Lt. Alan Stanton of the Douglas County Sheriff's Dept. "He is not on probation, not on parole."

Carroll said he's looked as a "freak," and when asked if he thought he was still dangerous to neighborhood kids, he paused, then responded: "If I'm not supervised — yes."

"No restrictions placed on him". WTF is going on?! Is this worth a thread on its own?

LWOP parole or the DP to all perps where a child is kidnapped, raped and murdered.

LWOP after molesting, before they have a chance to murder.

DP in every case where death is a result.

Well it seems the mother knew about the family's history of sexual molesters,because this guys brother was in jail for molesting Jet one time before and yet this woman stayed friends with these people and let this brother Roger by her kids,she is a enabler and should be charged with endangerment.

So sad. What a sweet pretty smile she had. Prayers for the grandmother, the little brother and the mom - what a horrible thing.

Funny how everyone sees things differently, I read that and thought good for her he molested her daughter and she had him charged. She did the right thing as a mother. She had no idea the brother was a child molester,and apparently he was a freind to her's for 5 yrs who helped her out. I don't see her as being an enabler, I see her as a young women struggling, with no money, trying to take care of her children and going to school to try and better her life.
When you are a single parent struggling to survive sometimes you make choices that you would not make if you had money to choose otherwise.
MY heart goes out to Trena Gage and Her mother they must be tremdous pain.

Why would anyone stay friends with a family that molested their child?I certainly wouldn't.It's good that the brother was turned in,but she should have stayed away from the family entirely.

You can search here by parish or zip code, but I'm not sure how diligent LE is about updating. I've got eight in my zip code, four for sexual crimes against children. The nearest one is about 1/2 mile away by road, less than 1/4 mile if he should decide to take a walk through the woods. And you are right, LE is VERY SLOW to open up their records about the missing. Are you the same concernedperson from the DTL board on CTV? Do you remember when the BR media pulled out all the info on missing women from the BR area? Was it SEVENTY???? Most of them were "new news" to me......nobody, LE or media, seems interested in publicising the names, faces or numbers.

Has anyone thought about , or Know ??? How in the world would it be so difficult for the police to identify Jetseta immediately upon locating her, she was not even missing for a full 24 hours and her death was probably within a few hours of the abduction on thursday night, cause he was arrested 7am friday morning and she was already dead, that is less than 12 hours even from time of her abduction, no time for decay to set in, she would have been IMMEDIATELY identifiable UNLESS ????? mutilitation of some sort took place ????
Just wondering if any of you heard anything ? Thanks !

 

[BldWhtRose]

WHY ???? is Roger's brother James Bentley NOT on the Iowa sex offenders registry if he is convicted and serving time for sexual offenses of previous against Jetseta... he should be listed there but , he is not ???

 

[Jovin]

It worries me tremendously...could he have been in the process of maybe dismembering her (I'm so sorry to say that) but it makes no sense.

A member of the family should have been able to view her to confirm her identity unless that body has been destroyed in some way. I can't believe the cruelty that takes place in this world.

Geraldo just said again that her body hasn't been identified (unless I misunderstood).

I think it was Mark Furhman who said it, but if not, it was Mark Klass. ...that they lose track of them all the time..there's something wrong with the system he said.

 

[Jovin]

flash news on Geraldo.."she was choked to death."

 

[Jovin]

Why did it take so long to identify her?

 

[Rocky]

WHY ???? is Roger's brother James Bentley NOT on the Iowa sex offenders registry if he is convicted and serving time for sexual offenses of previous against Jetseta... he should be listed there but , he is not ???

the sexual offenders list is the ones that served their time and have been released back into society.

 

[BldWhtRose]

Did anyone have this thought ? Even though I realize that Roger Bentley had been previously charged with these similar sex crimes on a 7 year old girl prior to Jetseta, is it possible that not only did he choose her to repeat offend because she was such easy access (what with the Grandma and Mom pretty much handing Jetseta to him ) BUT Maybe , Just maybe he chose Jetseta and not only sexually assaulted her for his pleasures , but went on to kill her, to get EVEN with the Gage family for pressing charges on and putting his brother in prison for assaulting Jetseta previously ???? REVENGE ??? What do you think ?

 

[BldWhtRose]

Rocky , Not usually, most of the states I have looked up offenders in.... will list/show ones that are currently in jail/prison even if what they are currently in jail for is not related to a recent/past sex crime... I live outside of Mobile county alabama, and even our registry (I could show you) lists the last known addresses and the dates reported for that address, and it will sometimes show the name of the jail and or prison that they are currently in, as that offenders current address.... the MINUTE that someone is convicted of a sex crime in this county it goes into the registry and is NEVER removed ... not sure if James Bentley was overlooked ?? or Iowa does not have the same laws/reporting procedures ?? Hmmmm ????

 

[BldWhtRose]

I did not see that , cause I am not near a tv, do you know if Geraldo has a website that it might be shown on ??? Thanks !!
