ME ME - Ayla Reynolds, 20 mnths, Waterville, 17 December 2011 - # 6

[maedlamsmom]

Quick question: Anyone know why TR's website for Ayla won't load for me? I have been trying for two days, all I get is a blank grey screen. Is it a flash site? I am on an iPad, could this be why? I was thinking maybe it had been pulled, but you all seem to be able to access it...thanks in advance for your help!

MOO, we are relying on TRs word quite a bit, and I'm not so sure that's going to be helpful. When I have time I want to compile the inconsistencies or confusing parts...babysitting 3 toddlers at the moment though!

Yes, you need a flash player. That's the only bad thing about iPads unless you want to jailbreak it...

Just a thought. Maybe ayla's arm was broken the last week of his class in October, but he did not take her until nov 5th. Partial truth, just a longer time until going to the hospital.

I know this has been discussed on WS previously, somewhere upthread. I think it was generally agreed that a doctor would be able to recognize the "age" of a break and whether it was one day old versus 10 days old, etc. based on calcification and/or healing that had already occurred.

Just because TR or some others dont agree with DHHS decisions doesn't mean they were illegal or against policy. TR needs to own the fact that she invited this agency into her life. LE and DHHS or CPS have been at odds in many cases ( think Shaniya Davis), so if something is truly amiss I'm sure it will come out in the wash.

Very true! We don't know all the facts and we are getting the ones we do have from TR and family only. I believe her version of events as she experienced them, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't more to the story that she wasn't aware of or didn't disclose to the media. Iirc, she wasn't the first to admit to being in rehab, that was reported by media, but I believe she used the term "getting on her feet" during one of the first interviews. She didn't personally mention the word rehab until it was already out there. Not that I blame her, that is a very personal thing, and no one is given a guidebook for how to behave when first your child disappears and then your whole life is splashed all over the news....

In my previous post I was only trying to convey my belief that LE are diligently working this case and are not being swayed by any negative light that their investigation may shed on another state orginization (DHHS). I think they are doing this the right way, where ever the evidence leads them.

Just a quick afterthought...my daughter was born on the same day as sweet Ayla and they have very similar names. My girl even has those same green pjs we have come to know so well...this story is breaking my heart. I didn't want to believe anything bad of the dad at first and tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. But, you know what made me think something was "hinky" with the dad? The ball pit story. I would never put my daughter in a ball pit alone at her age. The pits are at least two feet deep. She would be up to her chest and would have difficulty moving. They are not designed for children her and Ayla's age, without a parent being in there with them. They could go under the balls and be stepped on. But, I KNOW that chuckie cheese removed all their ball pits in the early 2000's so, the story is factually impossible.

Many of us have been saying the same thing for weeks now! I would never have let any of my kids into a ball pit at that age.

If there was a ball pit, that is.

Did he ever take her to Chuckie Cheese at all? :waitasec:

Awesome! I hope she never stops. :websleuther:

I'm fascinated by her sense of epic victimization after only blogging for a few days.

Okay, I checked out mom's website on my pc and it made me cry. The description of Ayla is just how a parent who truly sees her child as a PERSON would describe their child. Her likes, and personality were all detailed. That is something that always bothered me about JD. When he was asked to describe his daughter his response was so generic, something like,"she's my daughter. My world." It doesn't show that he truly knew his girl or saw her as a human being with feelings and thoughts. I think that is how a lot of abusers (not saying that JD is an abuser, we don't have enough info to label him, yet) are able to hurt their children, by not seeing them as real people. Toddlers, especially, are vulnerable, because they have very definite opinions, but cannot articulate them yet, and so they have temper tantrums which to an immature or unempathetic person, would be just an annoyance. Just thinking out loud here...

She says she writes about things that happened 600 miles away from her but no one has had any input on what she writes. Is she a psychic of some sort?

Try refreshing the screen when you are on the website.

I agree with your post. Just look at the pictures, Ayla is so happy. Her eyes sparkle in the pictures with her Mother. Compare them with the ones with the Dad. Compare them with the main picture on JD's friend's site. The ones on the friends site that have Ayla smiling are the ones from the other site. I know that T has had some problems but there is not ANY doubt that she loves her little girl and that Ayla was happy with her.

Weird how it went from this has JD's stamp of approval and they have talked everyday to . . .this is just my interpretation. . .uh. . ya. . .ok. :crazy:

It seems to me that the 3 adults in the house that night can't keep their stories straight.

Keep talking. . .

Very handy... They can put out any story they like and if it's disproven, no harm done, just blame the blogger for spreading misinformation.

--fortunately we got the "it was a dark and rainy night..." ( when i tripped and fell on ayla breaking her arm..) story direct from justin.

I have been mostly reading along for a couple days, but I wanted to share my thoughts on some things that have been posted about. Sorry if I repeat my previous posts on some points; I'm not trying to. :innocent:

First, posts have been going back & forth about whether it would be more or less likely that an intruder would've been heard given that there were x adults in the house the night Ayla disappeared. I'm pretty ambivalent about this. I can relate to the idea that the more people there were, the less alarming it would be for any single person to hear the sounds of another person in the house. One of the reasons I'm so thankful for my kitty is that, if he wasn't in the apartment with me, every sound would have me on edge, ready to dial 911. Intellectually, I know that there are sounds that buildings just make, eg. there is a sign for the shop below my apartment that creaks when it is breezy, and sometimes the building just makes noises 'cause it's settling or something. Since Mr. Whiskers is here, all the squeaks and creaks get attributed to him, and I keep my sanity and tune most of them out. But I'm not convinced that this is totally analogous to the situation at the DiPietros' that night.

Second, AskforNina, thank you so much for keeping us updated with timelines, transcripts, photos, and more!

Third, ThoughtFox, I agree with your statement,

I'm fascinated by her sense of epic victimization after only blogging for a few days.

I am not putting the blogger down really, but I would be surprised to hear that she didn't expect to get a lot of criticism online. I don't know where she reads, but at most of the sites I read (MSM, local news, blogs) there are a lot of rude/nasty commenters, especially when they have some degree of anonymity. I registered to leave comments at my local news site, but never post because so much of the back-and-forth is not civil, not pleasant, and often not even relevant to the article it accompanies. I am not excusing that kind of behavior, but I guess I am surprised that a fairly web-savvy person (which I assume her to be, which may be incorrect) would not expect it. Or maybe it is a generational thing, or I am just cynical.

 

[Sparklin]

If the timeline is to be trusted and indeed the speculation that a DHHS did P/J a favor, then this case will not be solved because DHHS/Police will be held liable and they won't allow that to happen!

I believe since J never bonded with this Child, and the parents never really had a solid relationship, J looked at this child as a problem from the start. Anger, child costing him money/time. Hate filled in him from the Mom of Ayla carried over on to the child.

LE is not going to solve this one. MOO

Huh?? There is nothing at all as far as I have seen that JD HATED Trista or Ayla?!! Where is that coming from? I don't believe there was any love or hate between Trista/Justin, but I believe, from what I have seen, heard (including from precious Trista) that Justin did in fact love Ayla.

eta: JD moved in with his mom at Tristas request. He went through the proper channels (as far as can be determined at this point) to go and get Ayla. No reason to believe he didn't want her. Trista has said time and again that they had an agreement, no reason to believe that isn't the case and that she trusted him to take care of Ayla.

Thank You for this update.

Just read it ... so ... IF her only concern is for "the little girl who is missing" blah blah blah ...

WHY is she "defensive" ?

And if her blog is about Ayla -- then she should use her name.

MOO ...
