If you've seen the abuse I've seen by working in the ER I think you'd change your mind. I say pay closer attention to those people and you just might be able to save a child's life!
Ayla was already cleared by hospital personnel to have suffered an accident and not due to any abuse.
I do think that it was longer than 24 hours that Ayla was taken in to be looked at by the doctor. Why? Only JD and those close to him know the truth about that.
The truth? So you do not believe his accounts as to what transpired from the fall to the ER visit? I would think if he had anything to hide the last thing he would have done would be to call TR and tell her to meet him at the hospital. Don't you think?
This seems to be the norm a lot of times with parents anymore. It's often times all about them. I realize that paying for this class he'd spent some money on was important to him but he very well could have done both. Is there a reason Ayla's grandma couldn't take her to be checked out? I've done that for my grandkids before to help my kids out with their work schedules. She is a baby. She can't verbalize how badly she's hurting.
The above is rather contradictory. You start off talking about "parents" and it being "all about them"...Then move towards the grandmother? JD is the parent. According to his interview he clearly stated that he asked his mom about the ER and she told him to go ahead to his last day of classes. I am sure JD felt confident that if Ayla worsened his mom would have phoned him. I also disagree with the "she cannot verbalize how badly she is hurting"...if your a grandmother you would know that a child in pain is going to be crying, agitated, fussy and/or screaming...and she was at the age to say "boo boo" etc.
We can "hope" he wasn't intoxicated just coming home from the grocery store but that means nothing. I hope for no more child abductions or abuse, yet still it happens. They very well could have smelled it on him and didn't act on it. I would have but many people will not step in regardless who's in danger. Some people just think it's none of their business.
The only reason anything was stated about being drunk was due to bloggers and posts such as here in which someone starts questioning it and then it snowballs. Had that not happened I doubt there would have been a need for JD to even make mention of having to defend himself. I believe him.
Exactly and as has been said many times, if it was a stranger abduction why this child and not the sisters child?
Nobody said it was a stranger abduction. Nobody knows for sure.
If the neighbors hadn't even seen Ayla outdoors playing how would anyone know she was there to abduct?
For one, my children NEVER played outdoors as toddlers on their own. Perhaps their home does not have swing sets and remember, JD did not have her full time. Maybe they do not know their neighbors either. This does not raise any red flags for me. At the same time, anyone could have spotted her from the store and followed him home. There have been more bizarre cases as such. Goodness, it could be someone he met on Craigslist that came to the house to buy something...we could go on and on with the possibilities. Let's just hope that is what happened and that she is safe.
I just don't think TR had anything to do with this. She was taking steps to try and correct through the court system, what she felt was the injustice to her and Ayla, so why would she do that AND then go take her?
I'm not saying she did, but if anyone has a motive it could be TR. Why not? What if when she went to court to file the paperwork that she learned from the filing person that she would have to have sobriety for a lot longer before she would be considered to remove Ayla from the home of her dad, and her living arrangements were not ideal for two small children? For a mom missing and wanting their child bad...that would not be "out of the norm." Personally, I hope and pray that is what happened. If it happened that way, maybe mom felt that he would phone her hollering and telling her to bring baby back? Her intentions were to respond with "see you in court." However..not thinking clearly through that he would call and report her abducted and once the PD became involved...maybe the fear transpired to admit to taking her and it has now snowballed? I'm not saying this is what happened...I'm saying it's possible and I hope this is what has happened.
How would she have known what was going on inside that house at any given moment and who would be up and about? I'm just not believing it. I've been in a horrible custody situation myself and I can't tell you the thought didn't cross my mind a thousand times to take my child out of the environment of the other abuser completely but I just couldn't. Sane, rational thoughts kept telling me to just hang in there and keep fighting for what was right for my kids. TR's actions tells me she must have thought the same.
Well, she does know the layout as she was in the home before. I would venture to guess if it were around 3 am it can be assumed that most all would be sleeping in the home. You yourself said the thought crossed your mind a thousand times...so maybe she was more brazen then you? Anything is possible. Again, the alternative is much scarier.[/QUOTE]
Has JD ever taken a lie detector test?
MOO
They have not said. I'm going to take a guess and say more than probable that he did take one. Considering he was interrogated by not only local police, but the Maine State Police as well.
we don't know the actual time she "disappeared."
