Fox anchor banned from camp of missing girl's father

Fox News anchor Geraldo Rivera was issued a trespass warning after a contentious interview with the father of a missing Putnam County girl.

As the search for 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings entered its 13th day, the county was abuzz about the contentious interview with her father Saturday night with Rivera.

Cummings got upset when Rivera said he'd been told by members of Haleigh's mother's family that Cummings hit the child and has said he is 75 percent sure he knows who has her.

Putnam County Sheriff’s deputies arrived on the scene later, and issued Rivera the trespass warning at the request of the two property owners on whose land the Cummings family is camping while their trailer remains closed off as a crime scene.

A trespass warning means Rivera would be arrested if he came back onto the property. Rivera told deputies he understood and stated he would not come back to the address, but declined to sign the trespass warning, according to a sheriff’s office report.


Obviously there's still no news of little Haleigh. And now it's not just the speculators it's the speculating press. What's Rivera trying to do? Is he trying to upstage the Nancy Grace debacle that cost Trenton Duckett mother's life.

Geez this stuff really upsets me.

LEAVE THE FAMILY ALONE!!!!! WE DON'T HAVE ANY FACTS YET!!!!! LET'S FIND THE LITTLE GIRL!!!! THEN START PUTTING THE PERSON OR PERSONS ON TRIAL. BUT LET'S FIRST FIGURE OUT WHO SHOULD GO ON TRIAL AND IF AND WHAT CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED.

I'm so angry at FoxNews right now. this is disgusting. This is the press at it's worst.

Dang! This makes so angry.

Thank goodness the press has been kind to my family.

I can't imagine having a lost child and having to deal with the likes of Geraldo Rivera, who apparently is a predator. He's definitely preying on other people's tragedies.

Dear Cummings family! Stay strong! And stay united! If and when Kayleigh does come home, she'll need you to be united.

I pray she comes home soon.
