today

Today I was searching google. I do this almost on a daily basis. I really shouldn't do it, but I do. Why? I do not know. I search Denise's name usually just to see if anything new has been written.

But today I am sorry I did it. I searched Denise's name and audio. For some reason I wanted to see if it was possible to get access to her call. I really did not want to listen to it but I wanted to see if it was out there to be found.

There have been so many news stories that I have missed. Hence my previous post. As I came across the newstories I came across some of the stories I had missed. Stories that were aired during King's trial. Remember I was a zombie during her trial and fairly traumatized already. Anyhow, I did indeed find her call. It was played on FoxNews. I was appalled.

I started to listen to it and got through about 60 seconds of it.

Oh sweet beautiful baby....... I am still horrified thinking of how you suffered. Oh sweetheart.....

People really do no not understand "drama". There are so many people out there that create their own "drama" for whatever reasons. I despise those people. They look for "drama" and have no clue as to what true "drama" is.

In any case, no matter how I suffer listening to Denise's call it does not compare one iota to what Denise suffered.

I feel sick.

We have taken "alot of arrows" in the past several weeks. The foundation and my family have been criticized for whatever reasons. Would I like to shoot arrows back? Damn right I would. But I will not.

So many people just do not understand what it is like watching our son struggle, suffer and try to salvage his own shattered life. People criticize him. And all he is doing is trying to survive. Also, I realize these people truly do not understand and hopefully NEVER will. Because if they do come to understand that will mean they will have suffered a loss in truly horrifying fashion. Some members of our own family have shot arrows. And if our own family sometimes does not get it, how can we expect others to?

People say "move on"...... well, it is not so easy. We have been given an opportunity to help the world become a better place. We have met some truly wonderful, amazing and inspirationally truly good people. We truly do not ever want to see a family suffer in this way again.

We cannot bring Denise back. But the way she fought, the way she loved and the way she lived is all the reason we need to keep her memory and spirit alive.

I will live every day of my life remembering Denise and what a selfless person she was. She IMO is a saint.

Dear Denise, please, help Nathan in anyway you can. Talk to some people up there. Talk to God if he exists. Guide him, give him strength and courage, and please, show him the way.

Last night's comment on Haleigh Cummings Rant Thread

Last night I received this comment on my rant:

Geraldo had a reason for going after the father. He has a photograph of a very beaten up Haleigh. It seems the child has been abused, and on multiple occasions. The legal dept. at Fox is trying to confirm the validity of the photo, as well as any legal ramifications, before they release it. Geraldo is merely doing his job, maa'm. If the child was abused, then I would say that's pretty relevant, wouldn't you? Anonymous

How to respond?

Until Fox verifies the photo, I believe it's best to hold onto this type of, yes, I would agree very crucial information. But apparently Fox hasn't verified the photo.

Shouldn't Fox give the photo to the police? Who in their right mind would give the photo to FoxNews and not the police?

That's sick. And it's still wrong IMNSHO to go after the father until they have their facts straight.

Sick. When Denise was missing a witness came forward who claimed to have seen her at the post office "without" the kids. That's pretty bad stuff. For anyone to think Denise would leave the kids home a lone was ludicrous. It's been proved she wasn't at the post office and she never left her kids. But you know what? Because it was reported, people believed it. I still get people asking me about the post office.

All along it was some nut case who only wanted his/her 5 minutes of fame.

So, dear FoxNews, please give the photo to police and verify it before you report it. Because, personally, I'm not going to believe it until it's proven.

added edit: I would very much like to know 'who' gave this photo to police. And I'd look very critically at that person. Why wasn't the photo given to DCF at the time of the alleged abuse? Does the police have a copy of the photo too? Who leaked this if they do, and what agenda do they have? It's just too sad.

Haleigh Cummings family and the press

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.
