Okay where did my posts go and why were they taken down? I cleared all that I posted thru a moderator before I posted about it.
Did Atherella explain what happened or was she just speculating regarding the missing posts?

Quite honestly I am seriously offended by the posts in this thread. First of all the video that was posted a page back is a video that has been edited by the discretion of Art Harris for use exclusively on his blog. Second of all I find it extremely hard to understand how those of you who claim to trust Law Enforcement and their investigation in one post but in the next post put all of your belief in a woman that Art Harris interviewed for his blog. Maybe someone would care to explain to me why Law Enforcement has not focused more on what the people at the bus stop allegedly saw? If you paid attention to what the woman in the video said about Misty hitting a boy you would have heard her say, It LOOKED LIKE she hit him on the face or the side of the face, it didn't sound like she was at all clear on what she saw. Perhaps this is the exact reason that Law Enforcement has made no mention of this woman's allegations or accusations in this case. If I have missed where LE is basing any of their theories on what happened to Haleigh on this person please refer me to it. TIA
As far as the expert opinions on here in regards to ADD and ADHD, I am raising two children with ADHD, among other diagnosis, and I find it revolting to read what is being discussed here. The discussion about Misty having ADD or ADHD or LD is complete speculation and I hope that anyone that is a guest of this forum doesn't take a word of what anyone here writes to be fact.
I wonder if the "hitting" might have been so frequent by both Ron and Misty (possibly even CS) that the children would have thought it wasn't unusual to be hit and wouldn't have mentioned it to anyone because it was nothing out of the normal for them. Bruises on small children from physical abuse can often be passed off as the result of falls and minor accidents. Not saying it was happening frequently, but seems that Misty thought nothing of hitting a child in the presence of others. JMO
That was a rumor and we can't discuss what's talked about in the pit up here.![]()

1) Nothing personal but LE does not tell you, or me everything they are thinking.
2) Stating that she saw him struck on or near the face does not mean she did not see the child struck...it just means she was not close enough to be exact on the position of the hand strike.
3) I think the posts about ADD/ADHD were mentioned as opinions....AFAIK I still think that is ok.
BTW has Misty been found yet? Or is she still missing?
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0909/30/ng.01.htmlMARLAINA SCHIAVO, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Misty is in the Satsuma area. Actually, tonight she`s with Teresa`s -- excuse me -- she`s with Ronald`s mother, Teresa.
GRACE: Now, when you say she`s in the Satsuma area, is she back in the home with Haleigh`s father, Ronald Cummings?
SCHIAVO: Yes. She lives in the home. She`s back in the home with Ronald at Ronald`s grandmother`s.
GRACE: OK. So you`re telling me they`re together?
SCHIAVO: That`s what I`m being told, Nancy

Misty was never lost. That was a media exaggeration.

Misty is back living with Ron and his grandmother, Annette.
Misty went out of town for a few days. She was also joined part of that time by Ron AND Junior. TJ Hart reported on that story.
For anyone who wants to distinguish fact and rumor Sheriff Hardy explains how to do it directly from the horse's mouth.

snip~...Sheriff Hardy realizes the importance of keeping the public involved in this case, and appreciates all of the leads that have been provided. Every lead that is provided is acted on by investigators. Sheriff Hardy cautions that because there are many who claim to be valid media outlets, that citizens should be careful not to fall into the trap of believing, or by accident spreading, the untrue and unreliable claims and assumptions of many bloggers who claim to be knowledgeable in the case. He also urges anyone that is assisting, or who wants to assist, to be cautious to stay within the bounds of their authority as they pursue their activities.~ end snip
I am of the opinion that he cautions the public from assuming that Art H and other bloggers post information to help the public establish facts. The facts should come from Law Enforcement.
Beatrice...thank you for reposting this information. I have always thought this is what may have happened. I have been questioning this from day one. I hope and pray this attorney can do something if all this is true. What a travesty! For this kid of sixteen at the time to be convicted for 8 yrs as an adult in an adult prison is sickening if he did not do this crime.
Even concerning Haleigh, Misty just doens't show any regret. When asked, she feels bad for herself but doesn't feel any responsibility whatsoever. Frankly, this scares the jeebeezies out of me.
I'm sure the Sheriff's Office would very much like to be able to control who releases what and when, because they like to keep much under the wraps and because unwanted information coming out at the wrong time can screw things up royally, whether true or not. It doesn't follow that every single bit of news posted by someone who has a blog is always wrong. IMO it has to be decided on a case by case basis. There have been things posted by bloggers that turned out to have validity.
Hi donjeta :wave: The words are directly from the witness, it seems the problem is we can't so easily discredit nor write them off to a "misquote" this time.
arrot:
what moderator did you clear those posts with? Neither Chico nor myself know anything about this. Lets make it very clear, the rape of a minor is not going to be discussed here, she was a victim and just because she is somehow involved in this case does not make our rules any less than what they have always been.
The words are from a witness's statement that was edited to fit Art H purpose. I find it wrong to post information from a bloggers website and then refer to it as fact. It was wrong 6 months ago and it is wrong now. The interview you linked to Art H. website was clearly edited. While it might be true that she saw an eyeful at the bus stop, I trust that Law Enforcement interviewed this witness and collected any information that would help them develop a lead.
Whether anyone wants to believe it or not The Department of Children and Family Services investigated Ronald Cummings and the home where RJ resides. While many would rather believe that DCF is corrupt and Law Enforcement is corrupt, I will trust the very institutions that make our country great.
