2009.03.19 Nancy Grace

Who or what has put a burr in NGs bonnet????

IMO - ratings.

Geraldo has shown definite bias toward Haleigh's mother. So now, Nancy is championing Haleigh's father. Foxx vs CNN. I think its' unbelievably callous - this is the life of a missing child. I stopped watching Geraldo a while ago and I took Nancy off my DVR on Monday.

(But I'm a hypocrite, because I rely on you guys to tell us what they say. :blushing

Only problem with part of that is the note from the ER says injury occurred 11/6. Also in his original article it says the photos were taken on 11/12 when Crystal took Haleigh by her dads and Connie took the picture.

Only problem with what? I think I'm confused

Sometimes either NG is dumb to make more sensationalism or so smart she's stupid...........IMO

 

[Ms Suzanne]

I believe the real abuse they need to investigate is any illegal substances apparantly witnesses said they were taking and see if misty or ron especially misty is fit to be a parent.

 

[mysteriew]

Usually I have to rely on someone's else to relay what is happening on NG. But tonight I actually get to watch it!

 

[CeeKer]

Honestly I bruise so easily I can see if I fell off the monkey bars it not looking so bad and then 6 days later it looking horrible. I had a black eye once from ungentle dental work, I kid you not.

 

[alwaysonmymind]

Eleanor- looks like normal punishment.

With the lawyer saying Ron told the ER the fall happened 3 days earlier instead of 6 days earlier - the ER clearly has the correct date of the fall written in the corner 11/6 so Ron told the correct date of the ER.

Only problem with what? I think I'm confused

The injury is documented at school on 11/6. Ronald did not take haleigh to the ER until 11/12 on the same day that Crystal was coming to pick up the kids for her weekend. He told the doctors that the injury happened at school three days ago.

The problem with that, is that it looks like Ron only took her to the ER to have a documentation for her "injury" because Crystal was coming. It also proves that Ronald will dispute facts to make himself look like a better father since he did not report the injury to the ER for a full week after the fall. IMHO

Normal punishment? I wasn't aware that you were allowed to bruise your kid when punishing them.

Back from commercial


Eleanor Dixon (specializes in child abuse/photos) says that they are clearly linear marks that could ahve been made by a belt/switch, but that they don't look that bad, looks like "normal punishment" (uhhh...)

Per a talking head, RC said he's a strict disciplinarian, and that was a normal course of events. TH Says one time Haleigh said that "daddy hit JR with a stick" when asked how bruises got on his leg.

Discipline that leaves a bruise on a BABY'S leg is NOT normal

THANK YOU!
I'm infuriated with the comments that obviously the school did not suspect abuse because they are required by law to report it.

The school may not have paid attention. OR the nurse just did not report it.. either way they would NOW say, they did not suspect it since they would be in trouble if they admitted they suspected it and didn't report it.

grrrr
I used to LOVE NG but the past two nights she has raised my bloodpressure. I need to write her and vent it out.

Is she still calling Haleigh's mother the "bio mom" ? I emailed her last night and asked her not to. I think she sounds mean and petty when she does that. I wonder how she'd like to be called her twin's "bio mom".

 

[Asti]

Well, I had no idea you could hit your child and leave bruises and no one cares. Who knew! A lot kids will be smacked tonight.

 

[kikid]

I know bruises come up to skin later,especially around face.

that's true, but not a week later. Usually a day or so, then they darken and linger for a few days. I'd expect they'd be almost gone or just a light yellowish streak after a week.

My daughter fell and buster her head on the bedside table about a week or so ago, she had a large bump across her forehead, and a large red bump beside her nose on cheek - two days later she had a huge black eye, and a faint bruise on forehead - by day five the black eye was a very small dot beside her nose of light yellow with a tinge of grey.

Oh, I know, RIGHT? I was like...uhh......

Where I live----that's a crime...

 

[winterrose]

Specialists on abused children has seen photos,sees linear marks, but don't look that bad,maybe normal punishment.Art asked Ronald and he said he's a strict disciplinarian.Crystal asked how he got bruises and Jr said Daddy hit him with a stick.Mike said the first visit was when it happened,then six days later the catscan and the Nov 16th it was lightening up.

Oh, yes. Gotcha- thanks
