I really hope so & thanks. As a parent there are five top fears.
1. Your child will be kidnapped and murdered by a sicko.
2. Child molestation.
3. A life alterting disease that would claim your child at a young age.
4. A horrific accident that would take your child before you.
5. Anything alse I have not already covered.

I am still very upset over all of this too. You probably didn't know this but Mellabella is my daughter and my grandson started going to the daycare because I already knew the woman from church. I still think she is one of the most wonderful ladies I have ever met and my heart is aching for her and her daughter. Her daughter is trying to go to school with her father's picture plastered on the front page of newspapers. This has to be so hard for her. Kids can be so cruel. We would never have imagined this situation happening and we definitely don't hold the lady responsible in any way. We are praying for the very best for the family - whatever that may be.
Anytime these things happen it's never easy or fair for the family. Men who do this, and women who do this, don't think about the consequences to their family. Nobody here is to blame except the people who commit these sort of crimes.
They ruin their family, they might ruin the victim if the correct support services are not in place.

Ya know, I haven't really found anything I wanted to post about. And I wasn't going to post about this until I saw this.
Cop buttboy? Are you talking about the lying piece of crap who said his dog was chained up, but the dog attacked police officer and the officer then killed the dangerous preditor of a dog?
And now you and your pals want to come on here and defend a child molester. Yea, you certainly are on the right side of both arguments.
I wonder, how is the lying dog owner's law suit going? Oh wait...there is no law suit because the brave officer was correct in the actions he took!!!!!
I followed that thread and there was photographic evidence that showed that dog was shot near his leash. I still think the officer's actions lacked and FYI, I'm not otter's bud, just calling it as I see it. I read every word posted, every article, have a long history in law enforcement, come from a family that is law enforcement and still didn't feel the officer was right. I'm entitled to my own opinion whether you like that opinion or not. It is my prerogative and if you don't agree with that, fine, we can just agree to disagree agreeably and be done with it.
I do believe in innocent until proven guilty (unless your Drew Peterson who is guilty as hell) but in all this, there hasn't been enough information presented to establish guilt or innocence in the court of public opinion. But with sex offenses, public opinion isn't so open.
I think Tigerly's 1st posting was a typical reaction to news such as this. You are not thinking "what are the circumstances?," you are thinking "OMG, NO!" and a thousand and one other things come to mind. It just takes time for that to settle in.
An accusation, such as this, can ruin a person's life founded or unfounded. This isn't as cut and dry as a man's wife coming up missing and his other one found dead under suspicious circumstances like drowning in a dry bathtub, with interviews, etc. to formulate opinions from. Sex offenses are just different, often on he said/she said information and sometimes have other factors behind them, such as, custody battles, step children who know exactly how to rid themselves of the a-hole step parent they don't want around, alcohol issues, etc. People who are just charged can loose their friends, jobs, house, cars, etc. I have seen it happen. For those close to the situation, you have every right to be cautious and every right to ask questions of your own children who have had contact.
As far as the extended family beyond the accused, they are victims as well and may feel even more shocked and overwhelmed by all of it than just friends in passing because they were the ones close to the accused who would have never thought so-and-so would do such a thing.

me thinks you two should get a room.
better yet you can meet at mister doughnut and chat from your laptops while
on duty
First things first. If you have a long history in law enforcement, then you will remember that the investigation was concluded and the officer was found to have acted properly. Remember in that whole situation, the only person to have lied was the dog owner when he said the dog would never bite anyone, then we find the dog bit a trusted neighbor the year before. So make your assumptions based on photographs taken by a known liar.
The second part, I don't know if this guy did this or not, but there was someone who said they were a cop in the county it happened, and the cop said that people don't get arrested on he said/she said stuff. I don't know what a "history in law enforcement" is, but it would seem to be that if you are a cop, you could either contradict what the cop said, or confirm what he said.
You don't have to remind me what the investigation concluded, I made it clear I followed every word. I just disagree with you, period and preaching to me until you turn blue isn't going to change my opinion. You don't have to like it but a mature person would respect it.
My point was that it just wasn't "otter's pals" that disagreed with the findings there.
As far as your second statement, in a sense, I did contradict what somdcop said. A charge just means that there is evidence a crime may have been committed, even if it is just witness testimony, it is good enough to have the court 'look' at it. Unless a victim flat out says "I'm lying or lied" during the police investigation, than they have to follow proper chain.
I'm not trying to change your opinion. If you choose to believe the dog owner, who we know lied, who is the person who took these photographs, and had ample time to stage anything he chose to stage, over a police officer who was there legaly, and the police investigation, well then obviously you are not a reasonable person and how do you change the mind of an unreasonable person?
Well...
I don't think it is reasonable to call me unreasonable because I don't agree with you. 
I'm curious, I didn't really follow this too well. What was the reason the cop shot the dog?Well...

owertrip:
If its the case I remember :shrug:
Is that your attempt at a flippant cop bashing remark, or do you actually have some evidence to support that?

thats seriously what I recall it being
(my opinion though...based on the facts I heard...Like you I didn't get too much on it because it didn't really peak my interest too much...could have gone either way as being a cop bashing or a legitimate cop screw up :shrugthats seriously what I recall it being
YOU really are a dullard aren't you?
Well, honestly, he isn't far off from what many thought.

In a nutshell, the officer claimed the dog (a German Sheppard) "attacked" him and he had no choice but to shoot it while serving a child support warrant.
It is an extremely long thread with well over 1500 replies. People thought it would never end, and I think anything and everything that could have been said on the subject, was. So, there really isn't a reason to rehash it here. Please don't

O.k, not trying to rehash this, but what does this tom guy mean? Is it true the guy lied and took these pictures?
He said the dog never bit anyone before but later it was learned that the dog did bite a neighbor across the street, to what extent, unknown, never was clarified. Some said it was said a 'nip' but tom insisted it was a chopping bite. Yes, the guy took pictures of where his dog was shot but tom claims he staged them to look like the cop was in the wrong, an accusation many found very unlikely. You can read the thread for particulars.
