Bill makes an interesting point that CPS and CASA were probably involved in this girl’s life. That is something that I hadn’t considered. I assumed that Alyssa went from her parents’ care (in California) to her grandmother’s care (in Missouri.) But I’ll bet Bill is right. She may have been in CPS’s custody before she went to live with her grandmother. (God only knows what she may have learned in foster care.)

Personally, I think Alyssa in mentally ill. She appears to be fascinated with cutting herself (and stabbing other people.) I’m sure some people think her fascination with cutting is related her father’s conviction for a stabbing assault. But I suspect that she has borderline personality disorder, which may be caused by abuse.

What is society supposed to do with these children who are so damaged that they are a danger to themselves and to other children?

The KS often ask who molested Brent Jeffs. They are totally convinced that Warren Jeffs did.

I’m not so sure. Is there any physical evidence that Brent really was molested? It seems to me that the only evidence the KS have are Brent’s accusations.

Both the AMA and the APA have policies that state that recessed memories should not be assumed to be true. In fact, California passed a law limiting the statue of limitations that an adult can take action against another for childhood sexual abuse to protect innocent people from those claiming to have recessed memories. (Innocent parents were being blackmailed by their adult children
claiming to have recessed memories of childhood sexual abuse.)

Part of the reason why I think “answer them nothing” doesn’t work is because many people assume that if you don’t defend yourself, you must be guilty. I think that if Warren Jeffs had gone to court to defend himself from Brent’s accusations, it is possible that Warren would have won.

I would put money on the fact that CPS and CASA were up to their eyeballs in the girls life, as well as her siblings.

From what it looks like, the parents were dirt bags, but not even that can be determined to a fact since LE was spewing it’s tale.

What exactly did the father do that landed him in prison. “Drugs” can mean anything from a joint to 10 pounds of meth. There’s a slight difference between the two.

Mommy was also a “Druggie”. So rather than spend a little money monitoring her, getting her straight, giving her support, etc, etc, you yank all of her children at probably 10 times the cost?

How old was the girl when she was yanked? Children as a general rule do not like being torn away from their family. How long was she and her siblings in foster care before grandma finally got custody? More importantly, what did she “Learn” in foster care?
(Obvious question).

The bottom line here is that CPS and CASA declared this girl “Cured” of her problems, and sent her skipping off. As a general rule, 13 year olds don’t try to kill themselves, and when they do, whether it’s for attention or a serious attempt, it raises red flags.

Possibly one day the public will realize that there are consequances
to ripping family’s apart rather than trying to keep them together. CPS and CASA think that the child is completely un-affected by their intervention. The 9 year old and her family found out differently.

If the 9 year old was my daughter, I would want to make sure the 15 year old did not have access to another child again. EVER.

I would also want her social worker, her social workers supervisor, her psychologist, the judge and the hospital Administrator who released her sitting alongside the girl for making her who she became.

The knee jerk reaction of the system however will be to remove the remaining siblings from the grandmother. Now they can all compound the abuse and neglect inflicted upon their sister “In their best interest” of course!

That is too stupid to beleive. If they had some dead guys family, or if they had a handfull of jars with little notes in them, or, even better, if they had a kids parents who are now claiming their child “Disappeared” for a few years while being molested by these men, THEN you can bet your bottom dollar they would have paraded the evidence in front of the media so that they could beat their chest’s.

A few years back, this same exact Sheriff got slammed in the media for waving goodbye to two suspects in a murder case while he waited for a seach warrent to get into their house.

Today, he’s a little gun shy and arrest’s first and ask’s questions later.

I would trade places with anyone of those men accussed in this case. They are going to be multi millionare’s over this, I would bet anybody who wants to, $1,000.00 on that fact.

I am disturbed by the fact that Darrell Mohler, the man from Florida, is in jail. It seems like that only evidence that LE has against him is the alleged victims’ statements. Darrell Mohler is 72 years old, a veteran of our armed forces and has lived in Florida for many years. He says he was not close to Burrell Mohler Sr. or his nephews.

Darrell Mohler’s health could be compromised in jail. I think the authorities in Florida should release him until LE have more concrete evidence that he was involved in the alleged crimes.

Radar and/or sonar imaging doesn’t depend on metal. Maybe they should try that.

The Mohler case seems to be based upon Burrell Mohler Jr’s ex-wife’s suspicions that her children were being sexually abused by her in-laws.

Here’s my question? Why didn’t Jr’s wife call the police back in the 80’s? If I thought my children were being sexually abused, I wouldn’t go to my bishop. I would call the police immediately.

Waiting twenty years to report it to the police will be hard to prove or disprove whether the sexual abuse occurred.
