Me too, after I told her she might want to consider how she would feel if the same thing happened to her, and then would she want some overdressed news person yelling at her and putting everything she said under suspition!!!!

Grandma Defends Haleigh's Father
http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/local/news-article.aspx?storyid=134115&catid=3
Posted By: Gary Detman Posted By: Jessica Clark
Created: 3/18/2009 5:54:37 PM Updated: 3/18/2009 8:44:25 PM
SATSUMA, FL -- Haleigh Cummings' great-grandmother, Annette Sykes, says the allegations that her grandson abused Haleigh and Haleigh's little brother are "garbage and hearsay."
Sykes told First Coast News Wednesday, "Ronald's a good daddy. I'm not saying he's perfect because he's not. He's a young father, but he loves his children. He provides for his children. He spends as much time as he can with them."
Kim Picazio, Haleigh's mother's attorney, told First Coast News last week that after coming to Putnam County to help Crystal Sheffield handle the media, she received numerous calls and information about possible abuse involving Haleigh's father -- Ronald Cummings, Haleigh and Haleigh's little brother over the past few years.
Picazio said she provided all of that information to the Florida Department of Children and Families Tuesday so that the agency can investigate.
"We're not worried about that [investigation]," said Sykes. "It's just a matter of if they want to investigate facts or if they don't want to take the time and go by hear-say."
John Harrell, a spokesman for the Department of Children and Families, confirmed the agency did receive the information from Picazio this week. Harrell said the agency takes the allegations seriously and will review the information carefully.
As for the speculation that Haleigh's mother, Crystal Sheffield, is fighting for custody of her children, Picazio told First Coast News she is still not pursuing a custody battle at this time.
Haleigh's great-grandmother, Sykes, said even talking about it right now is wrong.
"The only thing that needs to be talked about is Haleigh Ann Marie Cummings! Nothing else," Sykes said. "If they want to do all that other stuff, they should've waited until Haleigh came home. Any issues they had should not be now. Now is not the time."
I beg to differ with Grandma. If there is any possibility the little boy has been abused they should investigate thoroughly and immediately! I'm sure DCF doing an investigation isn't going to pull the police and FBI from Haleigh's case. Law enforcement can continue to search for Haleigh while DCF does their own separate investigation.
I was thoroughly disgusted with Nancy Grace tonight. She behaved much differently when interviewing the father. I am surprised Crystal's lawyer subjected her to that shrew. She should have taken Crystal and walked off when Nancy's claws came out.

Thanks Brandi.......................I Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HiHo...you look so precious. Brandi did an awesome job, as usual.
Can't wait for you to make another trip to the region. Your personal insight into things there were most revealing for me.
Things are not looking good as too much time has passed now. It bothers me that they waited to take that door AFTER every reporter in town touched it. Very puzzling as to how it could be of any value to them now.
Thank You, yes Brandi is great with the avi's I love it.....
I will be going again soon, I personally and several others there when I went already felt it was too late then,
The door thing I think is something to have for future reference, like say if they find HC and then they find
someones shirt and it has a certain tear in it caused from the handle of that door or something like that they can prove that this particular door is the one that made that mark..........also for proof that it was or was not broken into........its a safety measure as they dont know how this case will proceed in the future!!!!!
Ahh...never thought of that. Thanks for explaining that. (you know how things that don't make sense at the time just stick in your mind till you can file it away somewhere)

Reading lil tidbits about Nancy Grace. And I ran across the reason why I quit watching her.
Quote
http://nancygrace.net/
Controversial personality Nancy Ann Grace is a former prosecutor and the host of the Headline News program Nancy Grace. She was also the onetime host of Closing Arguments, a Court TV news show. She has appeared on Larry King Live, The Oprah Winfrey Show and The View and authored a book, Objection!, which made the New York Times Best Seller list in 2005.
Grace describes herself as a victims' rights champion, a mission she says was initially fueled by the tragic early death of her fiance when Grace was just 19. Born on Oct. 23, 1959, Grace experienced a typical working-class upbringing in Macon, GA. Her plans to marry and become an English teacher ended when Keith Griffin, her fiance, was murdered, apparently during a robbery. Grace's focus turned to law and victims' rights. She attended and graduated from the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University, Georgia, and obtained her Masters in constitutional and criminal law at New York University.
Nancy's career as a prosecutor was rife with controversy. As a Special Prosecutor for the Atlanta-Fulton County District Attorney's office, she took on tough felony cases such as serial rape, child molestation and arson. Grace is said to have won a conviction for every case she prosecuted, though several were later overturned on appeal. During Bell v. State, a 1994 drug trafficking case, the Supreme Court ruled that
Grace was guilty of misconduct; a mistrial was declared
. Three years later the Court again took Grace to task, stating that
Grace's "inappropriate and illegal conduct"
during the murder-arson trial of Wayne Weldon Carr was partially responsible for an overturning of Carr's conviction.
Grace left her prosecutor position of her own accord,
citing the DA's decision not to run for re-election as the reason. Her new career as a broadcaster set her opposite Johnny Cochran on Cochran & Grace beginning in 1997. She simultaneously worked at CNN Headline News. Cochran eventually left the show, and Grace manned the court coverage alone.
Grace has been widely accused of sensationalizing and of facts distortion.
Controversial coverage has included the death of Anna Nicole Smith, during which Grace threw a book (meant to signify a rule book), claiming that the court followed no rules and that the trial was a misrepresentation of the legal system. During her coverage of the Michael Jackson alleged child molestation case, Grace would frequently take out a book found on Jackson's property, The Boy: A Photographic Essay, which contained nude pictures.
She was also criticized for deliberately misstating facts
about Chris Benoit, an ex-pro wrestler accused of murdering his wife and son and then committing suicide.
One of Grace's most notorious involvements was that of the case of the disappearance of two-year-old Trenton Duckett. During an interview, Grace aggressively pursued a line of questioning of Trenton's mother, Melinda, asking "Where were you? Why aren't you telling us where you were that day?" and stating, "You refuse to give even the simplest facts of where you were with your son before he went missing. It is day twelve." The following day, Melinda Duckett shot herself.
Grace insisted that it was Melinda Duckett's own sense of guilt, and not any wrongdoing on her own part, that prompted Melinda to commit suicide.
Grace has been the subject of parody on such television programs as Law & Order and on Saturday Night Live, a fact that she takes with good humor. Grace left Court TV in 2007 to more actively pursue her CNN career, as well as charity work. In April of 2007, she married David Linch, an Atlanta-based investment banker, and 48-year-old Grace gave premature birth to healthy twins Lucy Elizabeth and John David on November 4 of the same year.
Grace makes no bones about her somewhat abrasive persona and aggressive methods. "I don't expect everybody to like me," she is quoted as saying. "If you try to please everybody by changing your position and your personality, every time you do that you lose a little bit of yourself."
Grace is a nutcase, a wolf in sheeps clothing. She's no advocate for any one. I wouldn't want her in my corner defending me.

I give up on NG. She is beyond biased and if she doesn't get the answer she wants (truth or not) she makes a huge stink. Not newsworthy to me. I like my news fair lol (which is hard to come by nowadays)
I'm really disgusted by her tonight.
Being on the west coast, I am just seeing NG, (an hour behind you guys,) and I quite agree. She is very rude, demanding, and not allowing them to tell their side of the story. What is going on?? Maybe she was told she was too polite to Ron last night. Unbelievable bias displayed. I think she is attacking the wrong party. Put Misty on and treat her like this! Maybe she would get some answers then.

Minnie, is she short haired? I ask because My last dog, Baby, was a rat terrier.. she was the size of a chihuahua and as smart & high strung as a whip. I had to put her to sleep (well, not me, the vet, but you knew that ) because she developed a rapid onset of glaucoma which made her eyes bulge, teary and VERY painful. I had her undergo surgery to relieve the intraocular pressure, but it didnt work. I declined when they suggested removing her eyes.. I miss her terribly almost 4 yrs later. she was my furbaby
sorry OT send me a secret nanner

Controversial personality Nancy Ann Grace is a former prosecutor and the host of the Headline News program Nancy Grace. She was also the onetime host of Closing Arguments, a Court TV news show. She has appeared on Larry King Live, The Oprah Winfrey Show and The View and authored a book, Objection!, which made the New York Times Best Seller list in 2005.
Grace describes herself as a victims' rights champion, a mission she says was initially fueled by the tragic early death of her fiance when Grace was just 19. Born on Oct. 23, 1959, Grace experienced a typical working-class upbringing in Macon, GA. Her plans to marry and become an English teacher ended when Keith Griffin, her fiance, was murdered, apparently during a robbery. Grace's focus turned to law and victims' rights. She attended and graduated from the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University, Georgia, and obtained her Masters in constitutional and criminal law at New York University.
Nancy's career as a prosecutor was rife with controversy. As a Special Prosecutor for the Atlanta-Fulton County District Attorney's office, she took on tough felony cases such as serial rape, child molestation and arson. Grace is said to have won a conviction for every case she prosecuted, though several were later overturned on appeal. During Bell v. State, a 1994 drug trafficking case, the Supreme Court ruled that
Grace was guilty of misconduct; a mistrial was declared
. Three years later the Court again took Grace to task, stating that
Grace's "inappropriate and illegal conduct"
during the murder-arson trial of Wayne Weldon Carr was partially responsible for an overturning of Carr's conviction.
Grace left her prosecutor position of her own accord,
citing the DA's decision not to run for re-election as the reason. Her new career as a broadcaster set her opposite Johnny Cochran on Cochran & Grace beginning in 1997. She simultaneously worked at CNN Headline News. Cochran eventually left the show, and Grace manned the court coverage alone.
Grace has been widely accused of sensationalizing and of facts distortion.
Controversial coverage has included the death of Anna Nicole Smith, during which Grace threw a book (meant to signify a rule book), claiming that the court followed no rules and that the trial was a misrepresentation of the legal system. During her coverage of the Michael Jackson alleged child molestation case, Grace would frequently take out a book found on Jackson's property, The Boy: A Photographic Essay, which contained nude pictures.
She was also criticized for deliberately misstating facts
about Chris Benoit, an ex-pro wrestler accused of murdering his wife and son and then committing suicide.
One of Grace's most notorious involvements was that of the case of the disappearance of two-year-old Trenton Duckett. During an interview, Grace aggressively pursued a line of questioning of Trenton's mother, Melinda, asking "Where were you? Why aren't you telling us where you were that day?" and stating, "You refuse to give even the simplest facts of where you were with your son before he went missing. It is day twelve." The following day, Melinda Duckett shot herself.
Grace insisted that it was Melinda Duckett's own sense of guilt, and not any wrongdoing on her own part, that prompted Melinda to commit suicide.
Grace has been the subject of parody on such television programs as Law & Order and on Saturday Night Live, a fact that she takes with good humor. Grace left Court TV in 2007 to more actively pursue her CNN career, as well as charity work. In April of 2007, she married David Linch, an Atlanta-based investment banker, and 48-year-old Grace gave premature birth to healthy twins Lucy Elizabeth and John David on November 4 of the same year.
Grace makes no bones about her somewhat abrasive persona and aggressive methods. "I don't expect everybody to like me," she is quoted as saying. "If you try to please everybody by changing your position and your personality, every time you do that you lose a little bit of yourself."
Grace is a nutcase, a wolf in sheeps clothing. She's no advocate for any one.
I wouldn't want her in my corner defending me.
That is exactly what I told ng tonight, and we have a missing family member.
She is a scorpio, her stinger controls her apparently. but, dang, she is heartless. I remember the Duckett case too. ANd that is the first time I had ever heard of ng.
