Unfortunately, this is typical in divorce cases. Too many lawyers not only allow a challenged client/spouse to use this ruse to sway judges for a better settlement, but worse, some encourage it. What is NOT usual is for the alleged victims to use the media for the illicit and repugnant purpose of trying to sway a court's actions. In this case it looks like the judge has seen through the gutter-level attempts to force a change of custody, and has been trying to keep the "mother" at bay.

For everyone who is reading these stories and viewing the mess online: First, it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. This is exactly why family Courts are not allowed to become circuses for looky-loos and hangers-on. The judge and all the rest of the people who work in the system will investigate any past or potential abuse allegations. They might be wrong once in awhile, but they have vast experience in dealing with these exact situations.

LET THE PEOPLE INVOLVED AND AUTHORIZED HANDLE THIS. I cannot emphasize enough what kind of damage can be done to ALL members of a family when outsiders get involved and try to interfere with the court's proceedings and decisions.

So, UNLESS YOU HAVE VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE THAT PERTAINS TO THIS CASE....BUTT OUT!

What I said when I wrote to the Auburn Journal was : I can't stand by my community if there is corrupt behavior going on in our courts, especially at the expense of a little girl.

I wanted to clarify that.

Thank you

Its pretty rare that a judge would grant 100% custody to a father.

"Currently, Bedwell can only see her daughter during supervised visits. When asked why, Bedwell did not elaborate...."

This suggests to me that she has some serious problems.

calm down deja view. prospector is hot on the trail anyhow.

It seems to me that it is very strange that the father has full custody and plus she won't disclose why she only has supervised visits. Seems a little crazy to me...

He isn't even listed on the birth certificate as her father. How can he have custody??????

AND-what a great guy.......denied he's the dad and refused to have his name on the birth certificate.

As someon that does know about this situation I feel the need to comment.

How many FALSE accusations can the mother make? You wonder why the father has full cusody? You can only make so many false accusations before the court system figures out that there is a problem with YOU. This publicity stunt is just one of the many slanderous things she has pulled in the last couple of months. Why would you allow your three year old daughter's name and picture to be plastered everywhere with these accusations behind it? The mother is just hurting her daugher by doing and saying all of these horrible things.

This three year old girl is the most well adjusted, happy, wonderful little thing. Her smile can make your day. It is too bad that the mother is chosing to lose precious time by making these horribly untrue statements in the media and on the internet....she is missing out on the big picture, her child's life. By continuing these attacks against the father she is making it harder and harder for herself to be a part of her life. You can only cry wolf so many times.

Too bad the Journal thought that it would be ok to print a THREE YEAR OLD little girl's name in this article. That seems like shady journalism to me.

And another thing....he is a wonderful dad and that little girl loves him.

We found this a very neutral story whereas the reality is that it is a very active story. Jennifer no doubt regrets making the comment to us "You have to realize we have to stay in the good graces of the Auburn Police Department".

We have been actively persuing this story for nearly three weeks. It is time someone did something. I am disappointed with the article. It is entirely neutral.

Clearly the only person talked to was Connie Bedwell and no evidence was examined by the writer of this article.

It horrifies me.

Hi Roadrunner, so are you the "father" or his sister, father, mother, brother, friend? Hmmmmm......Aali is not happy. We need to get this child out of that home today. Put her in a neutral setting, investigate these allegations. I will NOT stop fighting until this happens. This baby is being tortured! I cannot BELIEVE she is still there. I hope God breaks open the sky and gives all of you enabling this abuser unberable pain and suffering as this child has been giving. Karma people! It comes back three fold! I WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING FOR AALIYAH!

Look at the video and see for yourself this innocent child speaking of what her horrible father has done to her...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krihOkBsEt4

Some of the most disgusting parts are near the end--

And roadrunner if the baby is so happy with her father why is she always running away from him crying at custody exchanges...

Yes, I am a friend of the father and will continue to stand behind him. I KNOW that the little girl (I REFUSE to continue dragging her poor name through the mud by writing it online, she is three and doesn't deserve it) is happy and loves her father. They have a wonderful relationship and it really just saddens me that this drama continues. She doesn't deserve it. I didn't say anything negative about anyone backing the mother, and I feel that I am entitled to voice my opinion. If you ~ NoReply feel that you should curse me with bad karma for doing so...so be it. I too will continue to fight for what is right for this little girl.

Roadrunner I commend you for standing by this man. There are moments in history that speaks of this phenomena your friend is experiencing today, back then it was a WITCH HUNT.

This is a woman who has no evidence but a dark grainy video made by her. The courts will call that evidence suspect, in fact they have. There was an entire team of specialists that determined Connie was coaching Aaliyah by all accounts reading this tonight.

Connie lost custody for actions other than what she has been willing to state. In fact the article shows Connie's unwillingness to answer questions when it comes to her past behavior. To those of us who do not know the father but have the intelligence to sift through the finite details of Connie’s online site can see through her. She has reason for wanting the father destroyed, it’s called revenge. The money is a nice secondary perk to her scam.

She set out in a determined manner to destroy his name in hopes of gaining back custody. It is easy to see how a child could be coached; I've read many theories on the internet how this can be done.

Simon, BNN, you complain too much. First you complain no local paper will write anything and when they finally do, because it leaves Connie in a bad light, you complain about that as well. You then scream conspiracy calling for the heads of judges in the County.

Placer County then brings in a new judge who also rules against Connie and adds to the restrictions placed on her. No matter what, you're not pleased if it doesn't go your way! You don't RULE the PRESS; you're not even a journalist. To put out there that this writer of this articulate responsible article made any such comment to you (as per above) makes you look even more unprofessional and uncredible.

Here's the deal Simon. You want the world, USA to believe that countless men & women, hard working God fearing men & women have put their very lives on the line to support a man whose been accused of this crime? You want USA to believe that even after this substantial lengthy investigation where many specialists were brought in, there was some cover up, some conspiracy? The problem with your arguments is that you do nothing to back them up. At least this journalist has a quote directly from law enforcement. She got them to go on record to state what we've all known for a few weeks now.

There was an investigation; there were many people (specialists) that personally assessed this little girl. This TEAM found that Connie coached the child and furthermore found no evidence of abuse. If this little girl was abused in the manner Connie speaks of in her timeline, there would be PHYSICAL evidence to back up this claim. There is none.

Go ahead Simon, free blogger attention seeker, keep making claims that you have evidence. If you did have anything and are withholding it from your readers, then YOU SIR are guilty of not acting quick enough to help a child that you say has been abused. How dare you withhold anything if it would help that child immediately!

I say, as an outsider who has done her homework, who has made many phone calls and who has professional connections to get further info on this issue - MOVE ON, nothing to see here folks. This article shows clearly that Connie is guilty of coaching her child. Connie and Connie alone lost custody based on her actions & behavior not because she tried to report a crime like she tries to make people think.

I say to all, including RoadRunner we are seeing a mob mentality that has found their witch. They'd rather burn the father alive than consider the alternative. Maybe they are wrong, maybe they are destroying a mans life by these accusations. Maybe they had good intentions and their heart was in the right place but maybe, just maybe they are now victims of a well planned scam.

70sixspeed please back up your claims of Aaliyah reacting to the father like that with evidence. Otherwise you are simply repeating a 'rumor' from Connie. There is no disgusting part in the end of the video either. I see a child who thinks she's playing a 'game' with her mommy. The child is not crying, the child is not screaming in fear. The child is not begging for help. The child seems to be playing a game and much of the audio is unintelligible as well. The words do not match up what is on the screen.

Making statements like you do without backing them up with yet another video leaves me to believe you just want to continue this charade.

To Attention Seeker,

I don't know who you are or think you are but, CHILD ABUSE IS EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS. Saying its nobody's business is the miind set of a person that still thinks women and children are the property of a man. Whatever a man wants to do to his family is ok because HE OWNS THEM!!! Well to the 21st century. Women and Children have rights to and its time people with your mindset realize it. Sorry just had to get that off my chest. It infuriated me, that anyone could be that arrogant to say, it's not our business. Fasten your seatbelt honey cause we are making it our business. By the way, YOU DON'T SCARE US.....YOU CAN'T SHUT US ALL UP.

I have been fighting sexual assaults for 40 years. I was around when there was llittle to no protection for victims. And yes when law enforcement turned a blind eye or tried to put the victim on trial. Much what seems like is happening in this case. I watched this video and it takes a pretty perverted mind to say this child was playing a game. I have seen cases that a child was "coached" by Mom. They are usually apparent rather quickly. This child does NOT appear to even be encouraged and she certainly DOES NOT seem "coached". In all the cases I have seen a couple of things really stood out to me. The most telling was the whole napkin thing. In all the cases I have seen NEVER NEVER NEVER have I seen a mother with the forethought to teach a child that detail. This child talks with facts, she could only know from experiencing these things. This child has been up close and personal with daddy's worm and I would bet anything on that.

WHAT I DID SEE: I saw a little girl crying out for help. She is angry and wants daddy to stop it. She is so detailed she even makes the gagging noise that only a person who was gagged could accurately make. I saw a mother trying to get her child to go to sleep. I saw a mother who was having problems not to react to what her baby was saying. I saw a mother who listened while her heart was breaking. I saw a loving mother that just wanted her little girl to close her eyes and fall asleep so Mom could compose herself before hearing anymore details. I NEVER one time heard the mother try to lead the child, she didn't intensely probe this child. She listened to the most devastating of all crimes. NO MOTHER wants to hear those words come from their child. Any man who does this shoudl be stripped of all rights to this child and locked up for a long time. A sexual predator who preys on his own child is not fit to walk the same streets as those kids. They are the most manipulative and sneakiest of all offenders. This child is slowly being destroyed make no mistake. The mother is this child's only salvation. Mom is the ONLY one who can give her the love and security she so badly needs. WHO EVER is helping this father in any way even remotely, just remember your secrets are hidden for now, but what will you do and say when this 3 year old grows up enough to speak for herself. Those days are not that far away. Just around the corner. If she grows up and kills her tormentor, we have seen this happen in other cases. In those cases everyone in a position to have done anything about it, has been able to deny any knowledge.

How are you all going to feel then??? YOU CAN NEVER PRETEND YOU WERE UNAWARE OF HER SITUATION.......NOT IN THIS CASE, NOT ANYMORE.

Wow Well Said, I just saw your comments. I would like to know how a court has ruled the video suspect when they have refused to watch it? Another theory that don't hold water for me, I know the mother fled to Alaska to get away from the father's abuse. She later returned because she wanted her little girl to have a relationship with her daddy, even AFTER he had abused Mom. That just don't make any sense to me at all. When something doesn't make sense, it just isn't true. You see this guy as some kind of father of the year, I will believe this child is safe when all this guy's supporters leave the toddlers they love most alone with this guy for a couple of days. I'm sure many will scream from the rooftops they would gladly trust him with their children, but we will never know that for sure. Nobody would EVER FORCE YOU TO TRUST HIM WITH THE TODDLER YOU LOVE. Those of us who would tell you to put your money where your mouth is, love children to much to put them in his reach.

I have a great idea, there are excellent professionals and extremely reliable test to detect when someone is lying. Why not have Mom and Dad both submit to this type of investigator. The results would prove WHO is really telling the truth. The results would remove any doubt for the whole world. I can't speak for everyone, but I bet most of us would accept the results from a non-Placer county associate who could administer one of the several lying detection devices. There are several who would qualify and have NO connection to either parent.

Why not ask each parent to submit to this. So far the father's only response is to SHUT THE MOM AND THE REST OF US UP!!! We are not going away until there is proof positive that this child is safe!!!!!! NO MATTER WHAT, whether mom is guilty or dad is guilty this baby has a right to be safe and its the world's job to see that happens. Remember it takes a village. We are the village.

Wellsaid, I think you are missing the point, Connie is saying the abuse of Aaliyah has NOT been investigated properly as the fathers family are somehow well connected in the town. She believes that the system in Placer is corrupt and in desperation has had to go to the media.

What is needed is an independent enquiry, if the father has nothing to hide why not let them take Aaliyah into protection whilst this takes place?

See the sickening video, you can't coach a 2 year old to say what she said, you can actually hear Connie sobbing in the background as Aaliyah describes what Daddy does to her.

childprotectioncommunity.com/blog.asp?action=details&page=41327&int_blogid=410

Lots of debate about Aaliyah can be found on BNN

bloggernews.net/120908

Feelings are obviously strong on either side but at the heart of the matter is a little girl who could be being abused. Shouldn't we err on the side of caution just to be on the safe side?

Of course Aaliyah isnt screaming in the film footage, she is safe at that point in time. She is describing to her Mom and Aunt what happens with Daddy as she settles down to go to sleep, she isn't prompted. Listen to WHAT she is describing.

Of course I appreciate that in this day and age the footage would be easy to fake, but you have to ask yourself why someone would go to all that effort? Connie is putting herself in the spotlight too remember, she's not hiding away. She knows what the repercussions are for false allegations and libel but she wants to ptotect her daughter.

Think about it, If there was no truth in it why would the Auburn Journal even bother to print this article? Do they usually get involved in custody battles? Wouldn't Connie have been dismissed as a crank and ignored?

Look at the evidence out there and judge for yourself. Something is very wrong in Placer County.

BTW, Karma is not a curse, it's a fact.

I am writting not to take sides but this happened to my niece at 5. everyone said we were making her say these things, the dad was a scum still is always will be in our eye's. it took his own sister to actually write a letter to the court saying how he even molested her when she was young and him hitting on me right after i married his brother. the court still made my niece go with her father for 2 years for visitation. that lil girl kicked and screamed everytime he came to pick her up it was horrible. FINALLY the courts figured out he was a molester and took his visitation away for good. my niece is now 25 and is mentally unstable , always wants to kill herself, takes anti depresants . can't trust men so never stays with them long. it has messed her up for life. they always say the family makes them say it his scummy family did the same to us, the only one that ever believed he did it WAS HIS OWN FATHER. she now says her dad deserves a second chance and is taking her 1 year old baby to visit him which makes us all cringe at the thought he needed to be hung and buried somewhere.so my family has been through the same thing

good luck to whom ever wants to protect a lil girl i pray for her if its really happening

This girl has serious issues! She needs to get help. She is doing all this just to get back at the dad. She is not looking out for the best interest of her child. Obviuosly they have looked into all the allegations and cannot find any truth in it. This little girl is lucky to have her dad to take care of her with a whack job of a mother like that!!

I am a child custody expert in Florida who appears on the nationally syndicated Bubba The Love Sponge Show. I am willing to come to California and conduct a neutral evaluation of this entire situation pro bono.

This child deserves a thorough evaluation of all family members and the situation. The Judge needs eyes and ears from an expert.

www.docjoe.info

I have heard over and over that the courts refuse to investigate. It is not the courts that do the investigating, it is the police and various social agencies. That has been done and no evidence has been found, and the case has been closed. Also, not one doctors report, not one piece of evidence to prove physical abuse. Not one picture? A night vision video can be made but no one at the very least has a cell phone with a camera? The accusers say this has been going on for more than 2 years, and they cannot provide one document or one picture? And I thought waiting 31 days to report a crime was bad. At least in that case there is some evidence.

I think it is unethical to post a story like this without getting hearing both sides equally. I would like to hear Dustin's side of this!!!

My children are now young adults. Like this Mom I was persecuted for trying to protect my daughter (though little did I know - my 20 year old son told his best friend he too was abused but saw what telling did to me and his sister...so kept quiet).

The system screwed up in my case. It happens. The only cases they believe are if a child comes in bleeding vaginally, anally, in all other cases, they presume the child is being prompted, but as in this case, the things my child said (and kept to the story) were not thngs an adult could even imagine to put into a child's mouth.

The child protective services are overwhelmed and it became clear that unless they say physical evidence they prefer dismiss a case to minimize their case loads and stick to cases where there is clear physical evidence. In my daughter's case there was some physical evidence, but when she was evaluated by a professional (a whole year after she first reported what happened because the defense who got the judge to agree to let them pick the evaluator, etc. - just put it off until my child's memory would be nill - I obeyed court orders and did not discuss this with her - she was 3 when it happened, 4 when the eval was done - sick sick sick - of course she did not remember). The evaluator screwed up and misread the physical evidence - and this made for one error after another - it wasn't until my daughter was offended by him again a few years later that they caught the error - nice - put her back at risk - even changed custody for a time to the abuser). I can relate to this poor woman and child's awful case. As for not saying why her visits are supervised...well, that happened to me too...and it is odd. It worked in my favor though...as my children in the presence of the supervisor of visits, having had no other contact with me, told of horrible abuse - mental, etc.) I got my kids back. They were traumatized. I am still angry at a system that presumes the worst about a protective parent, especially if the offense occurs during a custody case. My kids appreciate what I went through on their behalf..but continue to show signs of trauma. My daughter is 19 and seems afraid of advances by boys. My son is 20 and is also holding back from dating, however both are kind compassionate listeners for others who come to them with their awful stories of being abuse. Shame on all of yoiu who assume the system could not fail...it does all of the time.

Alright. Twenty years ago, my father was arrested and charged with sexual abuse towards me. Living in Roseville at the time, I was taken into a small room, sat on an old couch, and given a plastic doll. Two men, the same age as my father, then walked into the room and casually sat down across from me, and coldly told me to show them, using the doll, what had been done to me. When I had trouble expressing exactly what had been done in the correct terms, they acted like I was wasting their time and that it was making THEM uncomfortable. The point is that after that day, and ever since, I have realized that people in positons of power do not always use it appropriately, and that the people who are supposed to be understanding and caring in a situation like that sometimes are the opposite. I do know how this mother feels, and I honestly don't know either parties, so it's hard to comment with any integrity without being privy to much more information. From my point of view, however, the "experts" sometimes do not know the child as well as the mother/parent. Interesting, though, in the above article it mentions that when the girl was interviewed and supposedly said "Mommy makes me say these things.." that can be taken out of context in so, so many ways coming from a three year old. Of course, mommy "makes" her say things, maybe mommy is the only one she talks to about things, etc. It has to be really difficult to accurately decipher what is coming from a three year old. Again, I think a cerain amount of creedence needs to be placed with the people who know her the best, but there lies the problem from a legal point of view, the people who know her the best are considered to have other motives. I have a hard time believing that any slightly decent mother would want to put her kid through any of this unless there is a ring of truth to it. This is a sad one, all the way around.

First of all, in over 90% of child custody cases, the child ends up with the mother. Unless there are very negative circumstances (illegal activity, insanity or abuse) the child goes with the mother. Why is the child living with the father? Likely some very bad stuff happening at home with mom. Also we only hear one side of the story here and it is from someone who has an agenda to discredit the father in order to obtain custody. We also have investigations by expert witnesses and the organizations that they work for indicating no indication of abuse occuring. Why doesn't the Auburn Journal examine the court case via publicly-filed documents in order to hear both sides of the story? This lady looks like one who likely slept around a bit (hence the questioning that the "father" may not have been. She has an axe to grind and frankly, is setting herself up for a slander case (slander can only be negated by "truth" and the court's purpose is to find truth and they have). I'm suprised the Auburn Journal has printed this information as it is very-biased with only stating the mother's perspective and little "reporting" has been done. I believe the Auburn Journal owes the father an apology and more-importantly, should research the case to show a balanced and truthful appraisal of the situation rather than only a view from a "scorned" person.

I had my custody issues decided in Placer County. I find it hard to believe that they would ignore these accusations and not investigate. They did a very good job on my case. They listened to my accusations but did not take them as fact until they investigated not only the father but me also. It seems very strange to me that a Placer County court would award a father full legal and physical custody with these issues on the table without being very sure. It also seems odd to me that the mother has supervised visitations only but will not eloborate as to why. There is alot more to this story that isn't being told. Before we fry this man in hot oil I think all the facts need to be put out there. She only has supervised visits for a reason. Placer County law enforcement and all the investigative teams that work together when investigating these types of allegations usually leave nothing unturned. When you take and exchange your children at supervised visitation everything is monitored and videoed. If this little girl was crying and not wanting to go back with her dad there would be evidence to prove it. There are alot of missing pieces to this story.

Sorry for another post. Also stated is Bedwell (the mother) can only see her daughter during supervised visits. This is typically something a court will rule when the parent endangers the child or has a very negative psychological effect on the child. Auburn Journal: Why not also find out why this is the case. There are so many obvioius issues with this story that haven't been addressed. I'd suggest not printing stories like this in the future until a more-thorough job has been done with respect to investigating the situation. This type of reporting can cause great damage to innocent people.

Boy, everyone jump on the bandwagon! I personally know both of these families and let me tell you how crazy the Bedwell family is. Just so you know, the Bedwell kids were convinced by their father a few years ago that the world was coming to an end and they were flown to Jordan. WOW! This has effected all these kids for sometime now. Also, were you all in the courtroom when Connie leashed out at everyone including the Judge. This girl is a ticking time bomb! I have seen Dustin with his daughter and you can tell that she loves her Daddy very much and he loves her very much! I have also seen her with her Papa and let me tell you that it sure looks like she loves him also and I know her Papa and Grandma would do anything for her. The reason Dustin was given his daughter is because of mentally insane mother she is and always will be.

First of all, I'm not quite sure how the Auburn Journal can even print a story without speaking to both sides in a case like this! This is a current case that has had a gag order placed by the judge BECAUSE of all the slander and false allegations made towards the father! The Auburn Police sergeant states that a full investigation was conducted by APD and the DAs office and found there to be no abuse and the case has been closed. This case HAS been investigated! It HAS been proven that this child is safe but the mother, her family and friends can't accept that because it was not the outcome they wanted it to be! This father has been accused of EVERYTHING imaginable and he has done everything that the court has asked to prove that all of the allegations are false.

It has also been stated online that this child is afraid of her father but I know that this is untrue. I have personally witnessed interaction between this child and her father. She is not afraid of her father nor is she afraid of men! I witnessed just this last week the interaction between this father and his child. He knelt down, put his arms out and she ran to him with the biggest smile on her face, arms out and gave him the biggest hug. Is that really the actions of a child who is afraid of her father? I don't think so!

This is just so funny. How many of you are real and how many of you are enabling the abuse? I'm sorry, but you all are pathetic! JUSTICE FOR AALIYAH!!!

No reply- you are the one that is pathetic! We are real & we do support this father! JUSTICE FOR AALIYAH & DUSTIN!!!!!

Well you can tell NoRely is Connie that is obvious. I'm surprised Connie's dad has not taken them to Alaska lately, or Jordan because the world is coming to an end. I can make a 3 year old say anything they want in a video. They repeat everything!! Say this say that and they will...If a court gives full custody to a dad, there has to be something wrong with the mom. And in this case, the mom is pyscho....All you want to do is ruin Dustin's life, you could care less about Aaliyah. Any sane mom would never ever bring there 3 yr old daughter on the internet like that even to prove a point, or let there name appear in print. And the Auburn Journal is so stupid to run this.

When there is no abuse, no one is enabling NoReply. People that do not know the father have made their own wise intelligent opinion about the case. I don't feel there was any abuse committed by the father. You cannot accuse me and others of enabling abuse when it doesn't exist. I would never, for a moment ever support a child molester. The police & specialists have determined Dustin to be innocent of these accusations. If they didn't feel he was, they would not have closed the MULTIPLE files. If there was still a question of abuse, the files would remain open.

Connies camp still wants people to believe in a conspiracy, believe in her questionable video. Screaming at everyone is only chasing them away. You have no right to call me or anyone else pathetic for our views. I think Connie is lying and MY VIEWS ARE BACKED UP by an investigation & the multiple specialists that have seen Aaliyah themselves.

Keep screaming all you want, the truth is the truth. You try to repeatedly make claims that have all since been found to be untrue, unfounded & disproved. Connie cannot handle that Aaliyahs case was taken very serious by all authorities. Her only 'recourse' is to now yell MOLESTER and claim conspiracy because things didn't go her way. When is she going to accept any responsibility for her actions and the fact that real honest intelligent educated specialists found that she COACHED HER DAUGHTER?! The jig is up, the game is over. She made some money while getting her revenge. There is nothing further to say about this.

No other media will touch this NoReply because Connie HAS NO OTHER EVIDENCE to show them otherwise. It tells me a great deal when some are out their with pitch forks in hand making horrific claims to the world without any credible evidence. You look like a bunch of fools and she looks like a revenge hate filled woman. Jenronsonet, you tell DUSTIN that there is a lot of people in his corner that are chosing not to speak up. Not all of us are so willing to believe these ridiculous claims when people have come forth stating on the record the mother COACHED THIS CHILD. Before I even knew for certain that experts found that to be the case, I had determined myself that the video was very suspect. Connie should have had a child psychologist make this video in a controlled environment where Aaliyah would not be LEAD to say anything by anyone. She did not. Continue your screaming NoReply, I do not care. Each day that goes by, each moment where I see her lose support in droves, tells me I'm but one of many that do not believe her.

Bottom line for all reading here - there was a NEW OUT OF COUNTY JUDGE BROUGHT IN TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION / CUSTODY ISSUE. THE NEW JUDGE found it necessary to impose HARSHER restrictions ON CONNIE. What has that NEW JUDGE SEEN THAT WE HAVE YET TO SEE??? Why would an unbiased Judge be harsher on this woman? I'll let you toss that around.

Let's see, in a child custody case (objectively speaking) the courts don't take a child from the mother very often. Lets look at the "Connie Situation" a little closer shall we:

Situation #1, Connie used to have full custody of Aaliyah. After the 1st round of false accusations by Connie came back unfounded for physical abuse, the courts gave dad supervised visitation. You know why the accusations came back unfounded, because it didn't happen, she wasn't abused by him.

Situation #2, Connie got upset when the father stopped paying all of her bills, gee what happened next, she accused him of being an alcohol abuser and a druggie. After a full assessment by a professional certified by the court, guess what, the professionals certified that the father was not an alcoholic or a druggie, surprise, surprise.

Situation #3, This did not make Connie happy, as a result father got unsupervised visits and the courts felt as though he deserved more time with the child, guess what this meant, less child support for Connie, and maybe she might even have to go to work. You'll never guess what happened next, Connie accused the father of child abuse. 11 negative CPS investigations later, guess what happened, no way, the CPS supervisor stopped responding to Connie's calls, you want to know why, because there was no child abuse going on. This is incredible, I know, but guess whats next, oh wait there is only really one thing left to do, you got it, accuse him of being a child molester.

Wow, after reading the incredible piece of investigatory work done by the geniuses at the Auburn Journal, (insert sarcastic laugh here) you know how the story goes, the APD did a full investigation and turned anything questionable to the DA's office, and this is the most shocking part, the father was cleared of all accusations for lack of evidence and the case was closed. Do you people understand what it means to be cleared as a suspect, IT MEANS THAT THEY DID NOT DO WHAT THEY WERE ACCUSED OF. (District Attorney's don't usually clear a suspect unless there is nothing there, it is kind of their job, and they are pretty darn good at it)

For some reason the courts, Professional psychologists (who may know a little more than we do), the DA Office, APD, can see through a coached videotape that was obviously rehearsed (is it wierd that every sentence almost starts with the word "sometimes" and the worm is green or orange (maybe cause its a toy that the 1 year old is referring to). One more interesting fact, Connie used to stay at home all day with the child with no one else around and had plenty of "opportunity" (legal term) to slant anything that the child said and turn it into anything she wanted. Newsflash, 1 1/2 year olds like to mimic anything that their parents say because they really don't understand what is going on yet.

When everyone qualified to listen and investigate tells you there's nothing happening and that there is no abuse going on, what is the only other option left, I know, you appeal to internet geeks who don't know you and don't care what the facts are, they are just dying for anything to sink their teeth into to make a story.

One more juicy piece of info that the reporter of the year candidate Jennifer Gee failed to include in her compelling piece on poor miss Bedwell, was that the Bedwells have an interesteing upbringing. They were raised to hate their own mother because she fought to bring them back from Jordan when they were taken against the custody order by the father (Self proclaimed phrophet and leader of the "wierdo" clan) It has been close to ten years since she has had any relationship with her own mother (obvoiusly except when she needs money or help) So just to clarify, Connie hates her own mother for fighting for her rights as a parent, and now Connie's life work is to do the same? It seems as though Connie would think of her mom as a hero for being her "advocate" just as she claims to be, instead of a "villian" (CAN ANYONE SAY "ALTERIOR MOTIVE", OR "REVENGE")

I would like to close with this, the father has spent thousands of dollars clearing his name of everything in the book, he has had his daughter taken away from him each time Connie cried wolf, only to be returned each time that the accusations were unfounded, and now that Connie's mental abuse is out of the picture, he and his daughter have an amazing relationship and love eachother very much. The child has advanced so much since he has taken full custody of her that there is no question that she was abused, not by the father as the courts have established, but by the mother whose relentless coaching (countless hours of interrogations) and manipulation set her back in her maturation.

Connie, there are alot of people out there in our community that know you, but you continue to rely on people that have never met you for support, that seems kind of strange to me, maybe because they only know your side of the story (include the Auburn Journal here) and you refuse to tell them the real story. Or is it because everyone outside of your "cult" has been tired of your constant lies for too long and they just couldn't keep chasing the tales that you tell. When your dad was interpreting the bible to you as a kid he should have told you about the little boy who cried wolf instead. People eventually stop listening to you when everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.

I applaud you for taking on the entire system and telling each one of these people that they don't know how to do their jobs because you are a licensed family court judge, lawyer, doctor, child psychologist, social worker all in one, isn't that correct? These people dedicated their lives to attaining these degrees and certifications but you know more than them based on your extensive academic career. Can you tell me what your degree is in? I bet its in the same field that you practice, "a whole lot of nothing!!!" Good luck with your attack on Placer County, this isn't the television that you watch all day, this is real life, these people work hard and do a great job keeping this community safe, let me know how that works out for you!!!

I just hope your best friends Simon and Jan stand by you when the truth comes out because they truly care about you, and don't turn on you because they were just trying to make names for themselves.

To the father, we love you and will continue to back you till the day we die because we know that you are innocent and that justice will prevail. I have never met a more courageous, charismatic, honest person than you, and everyone who knows you and cares about you stands right behind you and we won't let any one-sided, negligent, pathetic excuse for jounalism by at the Auburn Journal change that. The father of this child has not, and will not ever commit a crime against his child and only time will tell for you Ms. Bedwell.

Sincerely,

Josh Smith

Both the daughter and father in this case are victims of a women who knows no boundaries, nor does she truly care about the well being of her daughter. The case has been investigated thoroughly, over and over her claims were found to have no merit. After sifting through all the different postings on BNN, watching the video and looking at several of the various child protection websites carrying this story, I am appalled that any credibility is given to this woman at all, notice I am not referring to her as the mother, as a real mother would not be willing to plaster her daughter's name and pictures all over the internet for the world to see forever. Nor would she pursue an interview with the local newspaper where that child will grow up and have to live with the fall out of these bogus allegations forever.

Shame on the accuser & the rest of the witch hunters who so willingly have jumped on the bandwagon to lynch an innocent man for something he would not do! For those who have condemned him based on the fact he has not made any public statements, I have a question for you~did it ever dawn on you that he has taken the high road to protect his daughter? He has truly shown how much he loves and cares for his daughter by not jumping in to the public eye and allowing the judicial system to do its job. There is a reason he has full custody...start looking into her background. It is too bad time and energy are being wasted here, when sadly there are legitimate cases out there deserving attention that are being neglected due to these bogus allegations.

This case should never have been put in the AJ, it is irresponsible reporting and I am seriously considering cancelling my subscription. As for the rest of the hacks at BNN-shame on you too!

I have no doubt the daughter will grow up happy and well adjusted with her father-just look at them together and you would know. Hang in there Dad & Daughter, justice has already and will continue to prevail!

Are you being serious?! I have personally known each family and have come to the conclusion that the Bedwell family is crazy!! How can you coax a three year old into saying her daddy touched her, and feel good about doing it. I don't believe any of this and could never see Dustin or any member of his family hurt a child. This is a very low blow to the Thompson family and probably has done a great deal of damage to Dustin's character. Its is just sad Connie is doing this because she isn't mentally sound to take care of a child. The courts took the little girl away for a reason. If you met any part of that family you would understand why the judge granted custody to Dustin. Who ever believes that the world is ending and camps in the mountains of Jordan is NUTS! That little girl is better off with the Thompson family where she can grow up in a stable environment, and not have to worry about ideas filling her head that they need to flea to another country. Dustin, I feel bad for you for ever getting wrapped up with that family, but you did receive one beautiful daughter out of it. Just pray Connie hasn't done any damage to her but filling her head with lies. My support is with your family!

One last thing, who posts a YouTube video using their daughter as a victim and thinks that's a way to get their daughter back. An IDIOT does!

Finally it is good to see some things being written that have been forwarded to me in private in defense of the father. Including the ever increasing accusations Connie would make with each failed previous attempt! I pray that the LE throws the book but good at this conniving spiteful woman. She needs to be made an example of.

I have to say my family and I have known Dustin and Connie before they started dating when she was involved with someone else and played mental games with everyone involved. With that said her mental games/issues have been going on since they were in high school if not longer. She has done horrible things to him and others since they met. I don't want to get into many details what she has done because I'm to disgusted and think so low of her. She is not all mentally there and again you all wonder why she has supervised visitation and he has 100% custody. I would think that explain's a lot. How could a "Mother" wait I will not call her a Mother since she exploited her child's face and name on the inter-net for the world to see. Connie how can you live with you self knowing you have done this to her. No matter what you NEVER put a child's face/name out there like this. Dustin would NEVER harm is daughter. I have a family of my own and he has always been wonderful around my daughter. If I thought something like this was going on in my own family I would NEVER put my daughters name and face all over for the world to see. Some of you say why isn't he speaking up...Hummm.... Well let's see as some have said there is a gag order but WAIT Connie has violated the gag order by doing what she has done. I hope she PAY'S for this. You all listen to what she has to say and you have no idea what kind of person she is. I will never call her a Mother because she it NOT for doing this to her own blood. Someone else said that the Auburn Journal owes Dustin an written apology I do agree... I think people should stop buying the Journal until they apologize to Dustin and the Thompson family. They should of gotten the full story before they wrote something so harsh about someone and how can the Journal use a little girl's name in a story like this when she is a minor... Dustin we support you! Hang in there....

All of you that are making comments about how trustworthy placer county must be and CPS and the proper authorities have you been in the system? Have you seen how they take 6 months to investigate a claim? Or how CPS is a joke and falsifies reports and lies? I have been twisted up in this mess and my 8 year old daughter has suffered the consequences! She has went and told the same story in detail to detectives, CPS, police officers and guess what? Unsubstantiated! Why? Could be because the father has big ties in the county. That must mean he couldn't possibly do anything that she says he does, she must be coached! Speak from experience, not what you think.

NoName, I think the Auburn Journal seemed to support the father's version. I don't find it endearing to Connie at all. In fact it shows her to be the liar she is. Not to worry, very few people left believe this mother! She is all you say and more, I have no doubt.

JULIETTE, name the TIES the father has otherwise putting out that kind of RUMOR means nothing. You could be Connie for all I know trying to make it look like more than 1 person has an issue with this County. Your post not credible dear.

Rest assured, this woman is once again digging her own grave. Every rational person, private and public, law enforcment and civilian, sees through her lies and manipulations. Hang in their DT. Those who know you know the truth.

Good luck to Dustin and his daughter. This story is really disgusting, but the redeeming quality is that for once the authorities have done something right. It isn't very creative to use a sexual abuse allegation to enjoy your manipulations or get your revenge, but it is still a filthy thing to do. Usually the likes of CPS believes anything, whether or not it is true, and destroys lives. In this case, the only one dragging her daughter through a low-life hell is her own mother. Totally disgusting. Though when someone has no credibility whatsoever, even CPS gives up.

I hope this little girl can grow up oblivious to this sad, sad episode.

I'm not taking sides here because I don't have all the facts, but it sounds like a lot of he said she said. In my experience, the family law judges have seen and heard it all. They have heard cases where couples have been married for 10-15 years with young children, and are now getting a divorce. All of a sudden mom says dad is molesting the children. Funny how it wasn't an issue when they were married. It's a common accusation to influence the custody decision. Now, it sounds like Dustin might have a temper, which might explain the bruises, but can anyone in Dustin's camp explain another reason for the rash around the little girls mouth?

I do not know the family Analyst and Dustin may have a temper. He may be responding to a woman who is out of control and wants to protect his daughter at all costs. I do not believe you can accuse him of the cause of bruising, if the bruises existed. There's no available documentation other than Connies' notes. I'm not sure why you would not think Connie could have easily caused the bruising as much as Dustin? Ask her about her 'temper'.

Because we cannot view any picture of this 'claim' of a rash it's hard to tell what it could be. I offer up a couple explanations. Thrush is the most common rash in babies & toddlers. One of my children had recurring thrush. There are a few normal rashes that can occur in children with the most innocent of explanations.

First off I have a question for "WellSaid" about your following quote.

"It is easy to see how a child could be coached; I've read many theories on the internet how this can be done."

So why would it not be possible for the father to have "coached" the child as well?

This whole case disgusts me, and being an outsider myself after reviewing the evidence I truly believe the father is guilty. I went to school with both the mother and father. And though I did not have any close connections to either one of them, I was an acquaintance of her sister and I did witness physical abuse the father had done to the mother. Which leads me to not hesitate to believe he would have done the same to a child. I'm not commenting because I feel the need to defend the mother, for I am not close to any of the family, I am just a witness. I refuse to not stand up for a child in need of a voice, and the injustice that is taking place at the moment. Placer County is a corrupt small town in which I grew up in. I knew several other cases which were not handled professionally. Anyone who does not believe me needs to go to the following link.

Placer County Judicial SystemThe corruption of local court rooms is getting out of hand; the placer county judicial system is just one of the many. The truth behind this California group of judges and lawyers has been making news in a negative way.http://www.associatedcontent.comarticle/43819/placer_county_judicial_system.html

I have a question for Connie! Why in this article above, do you tell the writer of this article that Aaliyah started talking of abuse in JUNE of last year. YET IN YOUR NOTES availabe online, it clearly shows Aaliyah talking about this 'abuse' in January / February of 2008. WHICH IS IT CONNIE?

It's one of about 22 inconsistencies I've found in your story. GLARING inconsistencies. The truth is the truth, when you lie, you have a hard time keeping things straight.

The previous link I just posted doesn't seem to work, try this one:

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/43819/placer_county_judicial_system.html?cat=17

JUSTICE 24 the answer to your question is: A TEAM OF SPECIALISTS DETERMINED that the child was COACHED BY THE MOTHER. It's that simple.

And the 'article' you quote making news is from July 24, 2006 and has nothing to do with this extensive investigation. WHY is Connie's Camp trying so hard to get attention off THIS CASE? What is CONNIE HIDING?

Hopefully this little girl will be getting counselling for all she is going through. In a few years she will be able to speak for herself and she will need someone to be her advocate if there has been molestation. The truth will come out in the end, all we know now is that one of the parents is lying and that can't be hidden forever.

WellSaid, if Dustin Thompson would remove the restraining order WE'D FIND OUT! Allow ALL of the video documentation. All her to SPEAK and maybe we could find out the truth of it all! STOP TRYING TO SHUT HER UP! Placer County has ripped Connie's CIVIL RIGHTS from her by NOT ALLOWING HER TO SPEAK!!!! That in itself should be INVESTIGATED!!!!!!! And those "team of specialists" are all in the good ole boy clue aren't they. Dustin and his family have all the money to keep a REAL INVESTIGATION at BAY!!!!!! JUSTICE FOR AALIYAH!!!!

No Reply. Thats exactly what you deserve. That is the attitude of everyone that supports these allegations. "Just listen to what we say and believe it without any prrof". Just because we say. BS. Either cough up the proof or choke on your lies.

What do I deserve Beast1? You are supporting the man, but where is your PROOF he isn't sexually and physically abusing his OWN child? Where is it? I'll wait for ever and a day!

NoReply. In My Country and Yours, a person is innocent until proven guilty. Otherwise we would be hanging people for exactly what Connie is trying to do. There IS proof in this case. It has been investigated, and no evidence of abuse was found. There IS proof that Connie has lost custody. There IS proof that the Justice system does not believe the allegations brought forward in this case. The fact that you and others like you expect the world to believe that all of Placer County is corrupt and incompetent is laughable, and makes you all look like lunatics. If the WHOLE County was that corrupt you all would have been silenced permanently a long time ago. Thats what needs to happen, and I hope anyone that is directly involved in this case spreading lies, slander, and defrauding the public for donations spends a lot of time in jail. Oh, and I guess all the REAL media is corrupt too? Give Nancy Grace a call, or have you? I bet even SHE wouldn't touch this.

Beast1, if Connie were allowed to speak, which is what our country is founded on, then maybe we could get to the bottom of things. How can an investigation be thorogh enough to be closed when NONE of the witnesses have been contacted? It seems to me that the only people who have been spoken to are that of the Thompsons. Do you know if anyone has even spoken to the child? Have the police? Connie is not doing anything that any other mother would do. I don't expect the world to believe me, I expect that someone listen to this child, and because no one is, I do not blame the mother for doing so. She feels in her heart and soul that something is wrong. Haven't you seen other posts where people who live in Placer County with similar stories of the judicial system there failing them? And how funny that it seems to be that they are mostly women who do not have money and where the other party is saying they are nuts......Again, I asked you where is your proof that Dustin Thompson is not sexually and physically abusing his child?

NoReply..There is proof all around you. It is the lack of evidence. Not one single picture of the so called bruises you speak of. Not one single Doctor or "real" child expert has stepped forward to support these claims. Connie Can't speak? Are you serious? Her and all her friends have flooded the net with these allegations, just saying the same thing over and over while not supplying one single thing to back it up. Even on Live radio with Bubba they failed to provide the documents requested. She forgot? Yeah ok like if this was true don't you think it would be an important thing to remember? How long has she being saying that this has been happening? And she has NOT ONE SINGLE PICTURE? There, is your proof.

Oh my gosh are you thick or just stupid? She cannot release anything. She has photos and other videos. And as I remember the Bubba show, someone else was supposed to send it for her, but they forgot to attach it. Hmmmmmmmm, no proof yet...Nevermind, it's like talking to a brick wall. You believe what you want, but I am not letting this child not be heard. You deal with your karma when it comes to you.

Can't release anything? In the two years that she has been spouting off these lies? And if such photo evidence existed there is NO way that it would be ignored. You all talk about this GAG order placed on THE MOTHER yet the net is awash with info being spread by family and friends. Where are THEY getting it? Or are they just making it all up? BNN just posted a letter from so called expert, another laughable piece in this soap opera. Karma, yes funny thing about that it comes around. I'm not worried.

I am one of the many who have read all there is to read online, trying to make some sense of this case. A couple of clues that have stuck out to me, pointing to the fact that Connie's story is credible are things such as her talking about giving her daughter "night night". No crazy whack job mother still breastfeeds their 2 year old. I am a mother who advocates extended breastfeeding, and it is for the health, nourishment, and bond that it instills between a mother and a child. It doesn't make sense that this woman was trying to only gain custody by "crying wolf" inturn ruining her daughter's life, yet at the same time giving her the love and nourishment that comes along with nursing? The video is only a "little piece of the puzzle" and there are many larger pieces, such as statements from people OTHER than her mother, who have never been questioned by any official..why? If this case was thouroughly investigated wouldn't they have had a chance to make their voices heard? If the mother was the only person who saw the erractic behaviors from her daughter, then there would be some uncertainty, but she wasn't! I don't want this story to be true, and I am not 100 percent sure it is, but it doesn't seem to me like the investigation was fair, and there are too many things pointing to the fact that she is a good mom, trying to save her daughter. Did anyone ever think this "clever man" started the abuse to make her look "crazy" during the custody battle? Why would she still be stating these things after she lost custody and only gets to see her daughter under supervised visits? If it were untrue, she would stop the lies, and show the courts that she is capable of taking care of her child without supervision. But that's not what we see happening, we see a mom who is still fighting, even after the case is closed.

Beast, too bad you aren't worried. I don't like you, but I am very worried for you. Connie had all of the other videos and photos of the bruises on her myspace and facebook, but after she was silenced by the restraining order her friends and family took over. I don't know why all of the other videos and photos are not on saveaaliyah, it's a good question and I will try to find out. You still have not shown me your proof as to Dustin not physically and sexually abusing this child. You go ahead and attack me for believing the mother with no proof as you say and many will stand behind me. I choose to believe this child.

Noreply..There has been no attack, there has been no name calling or YELLING in caps as you have done. See thats what you all do. Whenever someone asks for more information you yell louder that we should just believe. And say oh it was there, but I guess NO ONE saw it. There are people that have been aware of this situation for a long time, people that DO care about children, people that seek the truth and dont settle for BS. The only people that are still crying foul are the people that support a woman who proven mental issues, proven behaviour problems (Gag order, restrainnig order, NO CUSTODY), and proven that she cares more of herself than the child by posting her picture and name all over the net with no real evidence as to what she is saying. SHE belongs in jail. The child is where she beliongs.

Beast1, I am not replying to your dribble any longer. You have used caps way more than I have. The child belongs with the mother. You belong in jail for allowing a child to remain there.

It's funny how anyone that doesn't agree with NoReply gets the "you should be in jail" line...or my favorite...the karma curse. And I say curse because that is how it is spouted out, as if you can wish it on someone. Threatening people that believe in Dustin just makes your camp look worse...

Dustin we believe in you!!

NoReply, I have a full thorough CACHED copy of Connie's myspace. What you speak (photos & videos) are not on there, never were, they don't exist. I'm not sure why you feel the need to spread yet another lie? Throwing anything into this mix in hopes some more lies will stick?

It is not up to Dustin to remove the restraining order, it is up to Connie to PROVE to the judge why the NEW UNBIASED judge should lift the order. Dustin is protecting his daughter, not harming her.

Hey NoReply... I think everyone knows that you are "Connie" How many lies can you (No Reply) make? If you were Pinocchio, your nose would be the size of California.

I think what the "Team Dustin" people are failing to see is the fact that the public has not heard anything from him, therefore they can't stand behind someone they can't sympathize with. Most people are open-minded, having seen many cases where the "victim" turned out to be the predator. Having had the video aired for the public to see has not convinced everyone that this man is indeed guilty of his the accusations against him, therefore he needs to defend himself, because there are people out there willing to believe his side. Until then, I am on "Team Connie" and most importantly "Team Aaliyah". People are forgetting that neither one of the parents, regardless of which way this case goes, are the victim. The child is. And the public is not going to shut up until they feel that she is safe.

No I'm not Dustin, how ridiculous. I've already repeated my comments on another blog. They know who I am. Quit your ridiculous accusations. Auburn Journal has my email & IP. They know I'm not him. You're upset because many of my posts are true and they are pointing out even your lies.

If you don't know Connie, you sure know a lot of the lies she keeps repeating.

No Reply (Connie and Bedwell Family),

You know how you prove things in a civilized society, you do it in the court of law, not over the internet to a bunch of nerds with no lives. That is where the father has proven that he did not abuse the daughter. To say that Connie has not been heard just proves that you are either delusional, or have no idea what is going on in this situation. This is a situation that has been going on for 3 years and there have been over 30 court dates (maybe more). Connie has run her mouth for three years and that is exactly why she doesn't have custody, because she is unstable between the ears, and is a renegade who knows more than the professionals and tries to tell people with degrees and certifications how to do their jobs. I bet you didn't know that she has had three lawyers and fired each one when they didn't go along with her lies. Do you know who her witnesses are? They are her inner circle which consists of her sisters, her dad (child abducter), her grandma (jaba the hut), and the two remaining friends she has in this world (besides you internet geeks), and her boyfriend (who she will feel free to dump whenever she wants and run back to her old boyfirend). Boyfriend, I hope that you can see through this before it is too late, she will turn on you as well (see the pattern. Didn't this already happen once?); when you marry her half of this will be yours.

Do you know why no one in the legal arena or law enforcement listens to what her witnesses have to say, its a little thing called BIAS and LACK OF CREDIBILITY. Family members and inner circles tend to have an emotional stake in the outcome of the case and tend not to view things objectively. And another reason that these witnesses don't have credibility is because in their place are certified reports from numerous professionals who have examined the father and the child in controlled environments on several occasions and have cleared him of ALL OF HER COUNTLESS ACCUSATIONS. FOR THOSE IGNORANT INTERNET GEEKS OUT THERE, WHEN YOU ARE CLEARED OF SOMETHING, IT MEANS THAT YOU DIDN'T DO IT!!!!!!! (Legally, not in geekville where you are guilty because Connie says so)

For some odd reason (insert sarcasm here) the courts tend to value the professional's certified opinions over family members who will say anything to get what they want, (especially a family with a history of failing to comply with custody orders and that choose one parent over the other, Side Bar- Connie how is your mother doing, did you two have a nice mothers day together- oh wait, I bet you didn't even call her)

BTW, everyone has seen your video, remeber the family put it on youtube, the problem is, is that after this video came out, the professionals took the child out of the coached environment and did a full evaluation of her (called and MDIC) and the child didn't make any disclosures except for mommy makes me say these things as reported in the auburn journal. Thats how you can tell who is doing the coaching, you get a professional who does this for a living to evaluate the child in a neutral environment and amazingly they can find out who is doing the coaching. I bet its because they went to school and were trained in child psychology and have degrees and stuff. (How many degrees do the Bedwells have between the whole family, I guess 0 !!!)

But this should be weighted equally with a person who is out for revenge who plasters her daughter all over the internet and interrogates her for 30 hours by herself when no one's around (right Bedwell family) Keep waiting however, those witness letters and statements will someday come in handy, unfortunately it will be in a criminal perjury case instead of the child custody battle.

And I laugh at those of you who think that the father of the child has all of this money to defend his case, you know why, because he works and holds down a job!!! He doesn't mooch off of society and think that everyone owes him. Connie, get a freaking job and maybe you too can afford a lawyer you idiot, or are you going to follow in your father's footsteps and be a complete loser (when's the last time your role model and prophet had a job?) Why doesn't your dad pay for your lawyer, oh thats right because he doesn't have a job either, and he already has his person to mooch off of, and the bible told him that you need to find your own persons to mooch off of

Please stop donating to the scam, why doesn't your boyfirend who has a job pay for your lawyer, I heard he makes good money, oh because it is easier to steal from people who don't know that you are a fraud, rest assured soon they will !!!

Truly,

Josh Smith

Still......no......proof.......You are all spouting the same thing as well.....Connie is delusional.....Connie is a liar.........they've done an investigation.........still....no.....proof......

I am a currently a Rocklin resident and was an Auburn resident for 18 years. I know both of these families and im sorry they are in this situation. The things that I have heard from both sides of this relationship are undoubtedly emotionally, and physically draining. However, I have seen Mr. Thomson and his daughter interact with each other, and the fact that accusations like this are spoken of; let alone printed in public news is disgusting. Mr. Thompson is one of the most genuine and caring people I have ever met. Through my high school baseball career I have never met someone so willing to, "do the right thing," and give all he has to make sure our youth is brought up the right way. I consider Mr. Thompson a role model and a person that has a desire, and the heart to teach and nurture young children. The things I have heard about Connie are not in the best light. Overall, I hope she has 1% of the love, and well being for this child as I have seen Mr. Thompson show the Auburn community and myself.

No reply,

that was the dumbest thing I have ever read and I will not communicate with you any further because you are a moron incapable of competent thought

NOREPLY - THE PROOF IS that a TEAM OF SPECIALISTS interviewed Aaliyah and authorities interrogated Dustin thoroughly and found him to be innocent of any accusation. THIS CASE IS NOW CLOSED. THE INVESTIGATION OVER. Connie is not delusional, EXPERTS HAVE PROVEN HER TO HAVE COACHED HER CHILD. EXPERTS noreply, people with degrees and countless years of experience!!!

HOW IS THAT NOT PROOF? You clearly are uneducated in how this process works. Again, you won't answer what I point out is blatant lies that come from yourself and Connie. All you can do is try and take focus off all that has been done with your useless "no proof" comment.

Intelligent readers can see through your utter nonsense. laughable!

Lets compare Connies myspace page to yours, remember? The one you SAY where she posted pics & other videos? I can throw up my cached pages if you like! There was never EVER any other videos or pictures. If you'd like, I'll find a place to host her MYSPACE PAGE and readers here can see for themselves.

Connie has still neglected to answer a question I posted earlier. Why in this article above, do you (Connie) tell the writer of this article that Aaliyah started talking of abuse in JUNE of last year. YET IN YOUR NOTES availabe online, it clearly shows Aaliyah talking about this 'abuse' in January / February of 2008. WHICH IS IT CONNIE?

Awww, I'm so sad about that. For you to say I am incapable of competent thought is funny, you had to resort to name calling. When one does that it means there is absence of a logical argument or anything else intelligent to say. See you Joshy!

I want to say first of all that I support the truth! Whatever the truth might be, I want baby A to be safe and happy and grow up safe and protected. When this story first came to BNN..I was a member there in good standing for a year! I signed the petition! During the first week of this case, I noticed that I rushed to judgement on this poor father. My first instincts were to "save the baby"! A lesson I learned quickly, that I wish others would learn as well. While still at Bnn, I noticed a couple of people who had just heard of this case ( their words) yet knew way more information, and I mean detailed information. I wondered how they could know so much! One of whom actually called out another poster accusing him of being the PEDOPHILE and I quote " YOUR WRITING IS VERY DETECTABLE". Remember that I said this poster claimed she was NEW to the case. How in the world would this poster KNOW the writing style of a man she never knew and a case that has just fallen on her lap? I began to wonder who she was and if she really was who she says she is! Poster #2 would be the one who brought SAVE BABY A to Bnn. After an hour or two back in early May of conversation and questions to this woman, she got very irritated with me. I was only asking questions, I wanted more information. The Baby A article became more and more volatile as the days went on. Instead of answering questions with respect, people were being attacked and accused of not caring for baby A and people are getting banned all over the place for coming in and voicing their own opinions. I will add that although it got heated in the room due to frustration, I never once say a poster rude enough to even come close to being banned. I might also add that some who have been calling names and accusing a complete stranger of one of the most heinous crimes against a child STILL POSTS AS ONE OF TWO LEADERS IN THAT ROOM... MY RED FLAGS WERE FLYING HIGH by this point.

I watched Daddy's worm AFTER I SIGNED THE PETITION . I know, very knee jerk reaction but like theses others who out begging for help for the baby...I immediately signed BEFORE I SAW ANY PROOF ). I assumed I could absorb the EVIDENCE after signing. Well the video showed me nothing in way of evidence! I was rather taken back by the lack of emotion of the child when talking about such disturbing acts allegedly involving this child by Connie. I also had no idea that there was no other evidence to back that video up by ANY certified psychologists or pediatrician after conducting a physical exam and or psychological exam in a controlled environement.

The only PIECE...and yes there is ONE .....of "information" on this case is by a social worker at Life Source CA - Councelling Center that states she see's POSSIBLE evidence or clues that the baby is being abused by her father due to the facial expressions and at times, the lack of facial expressions she exhibited while being studied! Again, this does NOT prove anything happened and the letter is dated JUNE 2008. It was stated and I do NOT quote, but in the letter it said something along of the lines that the situation will be looked into further. Well perhaps a FOLLOW UP report on the "initial" findings and letter would serve a better purpose for all of you who don't know this family, yet are narrow minded enough to think that all of Placer and surrounding counties are corrupt and that you have enough to form an educated opinion. Taking those ill formed opinions that are based on NOTHING and slandering the name of baby A's father. A man who I give credit to for not dragging baby A's mother through the mud like Connie has not only to Baby A's daddy, but Baby A herself.

In closing, having been baffled by the brainless followers of ONE HOMEMADE video and their self righteous campaign to actually say TAKE THAT CHILD OUT OF HER HOME AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER....I ask you ....IF IT WAS YOUR SON...WOULD YOU NOT BE IN THE FACE OF YOUR EX-DAUGHTER IN LAW DEMANDING MORE PROOF THEN A VIDEO!! Connie has had 2 years to come up with the evidence she needs to put this guy away and get her daughter back. What has taken her so long to come up with anything? All the while allowing her daughter to go with a pedophile while kicking and screaming and crying...WHAT KIND OF MOTHER WOULD ALLOW HER CHILD TO GO KNOWING WHAT SHE KNOWS..WHY wouldn't Connie video tape the child screaming and crying and not wanting to go with daddy! It is likely because it never happened! Or she would of set up a nanny cam at visitation time and proved that the child was acting out this way! Her family can say all they want to back her up...but unless there is proof to back up their mouths then it's all here say!

So take your head outta yer butts for one second all of you who say I don't care about the children because I am asking for more proof to make an intelligent and informed decision. Think about NOT just how you will feel BETTER KNOWING YOU TRIED TO PULL THIS BABY OUT OF HER HOME WITH HER FATHER if all this is unfounded, which it has been . That would make you the enabler of more abuse on this child by DEMANDING proof after you uproot the child. At least I have learned from my mistake, gather all the facts before you make judgment on someone. INSTEAD OF MAKING THIS ABOUT YOURSELF AND HOW GOOD YOU FEEL FOR SAVING THE BABY FROM THE DADDY...Thin about this,....PERHAPS YOUR TRYING TO SAVE THE BABY FROM THE WRONG PERSON.

INFORM YOUSELVES...nONE OF you have any more information then we do. NO proof...or this case would already be closed.

I HOPE AND PRAY THE THE TRUTH COMES TO LIGHT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER THIS CHILD NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED FROM ONE OF HER PARENTS.

God bless Baby A ?

WellSaid, where can I read about this thorough investigation? Again, I am not Connie so I cannot answer your questions. I'd love to see this myspace though, the dates and all. And just so you know, there is an open investigation on Dustin with APD and CPS.

No reply,

you continue to amaze me with your stupidity, read the article that you are responding to!!! The sargeant is quoted above as saying the case is closed and the father has been cleared as a suspect. I beg you to think before you write because it is embarrassing for the rest of us who are not idiots

There is an open investigation against Connie Noreply. I'm done with debating you. PROOF and credibility is clearly on this father's side. Connie is a vengeful spiteful woman.

Juliette I don't think you really know much about Placer County. This is one of the best counties out there as far as the law enforcement, district attorneys, judges, child protection agencies, victims witness, etc. They do conduct very intense investigations and having ties will get you NO WHERE. If they find out you are guilty of what you are accused of, you will be arrested and tried. It is more than obvious to me that this woman has issues and her own agenda. If the court has assigned the father full legal and physical custody of this little girl after all the accusations the mother has brought forth it is very obvious that he is not guilty. She has been assigned only "Supervised Visitation". The court system does not do that for heck of it. They have sifted through all the accusations and evidence, following it up with couseling, etc. and have made the decision based on facts and what is in the BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD. I don't know either of these people, I am basing my opinion on my own personal child custody case handled in Placer County. I know the steps they take to insure the right decision is made. They do not just take someone's word, they INVESTIGATE. It is very apparent to me that the PLACER COUNTY COURT SYSTEM MADE THE RIGHT DECISION IN THIS CASE.

Dustin has not commented because he doesn't need to defend himself to any of you. He has done everything that the courts and law enforcement have asked him to do to prove he's innocent! They are the ONLY people that matter! All of us that have come out to defend Dustin know the truth, we have been here since the baby was born and know all that has happened since the first court date. We have seen how much this baby has improved since she has been with her father. We have seen how they interact together. We have seen how much they love each other! We know the truth and we will stand up for Dustin and support him till the end! We are not enableing abuse because there is NONE!! I can only hope that Dustin will be able to file slander charges against all of you that have drug his name through the mud without knowing what has really happened here. Maybe then you all will learn to look into claims before you jump on the wagon and try to hang an innocent man!

Noreply - you state that there is currently an investigation with ADP & CPS against the father? Does that mean that the corruption is finally ended & that the mother/child's side is finally being heard? That was the point of all of this, right?

Also - the reason why the father hasn't proven to you that he hasn't commmited this abuse is the same reason that you haven't proven to us, yet, that you didn't abuse your mother.... Can you prove that to us?

HLASHER88 you have obviously no knowledge of breastfeeding. I have nursed two children, and know from experience that after having stopped breastfeeding for over a year my breasts still had milk in them. It's nothing nasty..what you wrote was entertaining nonetheless. Ok, so there is a gag order, that hasn't stopped her side of the story from being heard...and obviously his is starting to leak it's way out too, through people bashing bloggers who are standing up for Connie. That's ridiculous. If his friends and advocates want people to take his side and see that Connie is indeed crazy, how about not attacking the bystanders who are only judging based on what they have seen? As I said, I have two children, and if someone was accusing me of something so heinous, I would be shouting from the rooftops my side...but Dustin doesn't have to, because the ball is in his court, and he has his daughter.

troynana, he won't have her too much longer....and you go girl!

Wow Anne Cloter, a dead womans name didnt work for you so you post under the most common name "Smith" all over the place...lol. The Smith family is pretty huge!

Dustin just be a man and write your name.

Everyone that has witnessed Aaliyah say and do these things now is delusional too!!!! Good one Dustin.

You've got to stoop to name calling, slandering, and defamation.

We are simply telling the TRUTH about you Dustin. We could go into a whole lot more dirt on your family too, but we aren't here to defame you or your family we are stating facts. We dont need to call you stupid (you are doing a fine job of showing people yourself) or mention you dont have a degree, or call you a mooch.

Aaliyah's safety is our concern. You can tell who really cares about Aaliyah's well being and it's not you Dustin.

Why are you attacking Connie still Dustin? Connie is under a restraining order. It just shows what an abuser you are. Connie isn't the one putting the Truth out there. We all are!

All of us "delusional" people have seen it too.

INSTEAD OF BICKERING AND NAME CALLING LIKE A CHILD WHY DON'T YOU TAKE DR SATURLEY FROM FLORIDA UP ON HIS OFFER?

THE "DELUSIONAL" BEDWELL'S FAMILY, FRIENDS AND WITNESSES ARE ALL SIGNED UP AND WAITING FOR YOU.

IF WHAT WE SAY ABOUT PLACER COUNTY ISN'T TRUE THAN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM HAVING AN OUTSIDE PROFESSIONAL ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE AND TALK TO WITNESSES. SURELY YOU SHOULD KNOW YOU HAVE GOT THIS...WE ARE ALL DELUSIONAL REMEMBER?

OHH BY THE WAY-- THE VIDEOS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR... THEY WILL BE COMING!

Hmmm, why did you have my last post erased Dustin? Because you are sleeping with Jen? Or was it because I was right about the judge and the open investigatin on you? Or was it that I called your friend Maureen a fat cow who hides behind her computer acting all tough? You can keep on having me erased, but I'll just keep on talking. Why DON'T you have Dr. Saturley come from Florida and do an OUTSIDE non-biased investigation? You are too scared Dustin......I just read 70sixspeed's post, Hmmmm, the vids I said existed are coming. CAN'T WAIT!

INFORM YOUSELVES...nONE OF you have any more information then we do. NO proof...or this case would already be closed.

What I meant to say was Connie has no proof and that is a given since the case is CLOSED! That is why "nobody' is listening....they know she has no more information then the last 11 times she filed an abuse allegation.

NOREPLY YOU SAID Again, I asked you where is your proof that Dustin Thompson is not sexually and physically abusing his child?

Hey noreply, before you go mouthing off to Beast maybe you should brush up on some basics of the criminal system. You ever heard of the onus being on the one that filed the charges???? HELLO! CONNIE NEEDS to provide the evidence to back up her story NOT Dustin! THE ONUS IS on Connie to put her foot where her mouth is....and she is doing a damn good job so far. You will NEVER convince me every single person desk this case has crossed is willing to look the other way! NO WAY!

Hey Shelly! You aren't any where NEAR important enough for me to CARE to try and convince you of anything. Got it? Good!

Noreply Karen you are looking like a raving maniac wielding your pitchfork wanting Dustin's head even though he has been found INNOCENT and the abuse charges were FOUND TO BE FABRICATED BY CONNIE. Connie will never ever get custody back EVER. Get over it.

Denise, don't you understand? Dustin says that's all fabricated and the witness reports mean NOTHING. Get them Denise!

purfect.....what are you a cat?

NoReply.... you do realize how childish and ridiculous you sound? How many Ambiens have you taken? Honestly you make no sense and you do not need proof as you have stated over and over. And this "professional" that wrote she found abuse is actually a social worker who suspected NOT said there was for SURE abuse. But also she doesn't really have the credentials to testify on your behalf huh Connie?

Maybe Connie should run off to Jordan or Alaska and quit making her daughters life miserable..... Lots of people support you D!

Dustin, how come you keep having my posts deleted? You think that everyone is insane. I don't need your head on a pitchfork, when you get in prison you are going to need it. Now you are accusing me of taking ambiens.....so name calling isn't as low as you can go. Now I know what Connie is going through. I make perfect sense, you are just too retarded to understand me.

While entertaining to read, this small town drama that is going on is losing focus. It all seems to be about people on one side claiming her family is "crazy" and to look at her dad, and that she doesn't have a relationship with her mom. EVERYONE has issues. If any person in the world were put in Connie's place there would be something to be said about each one of them, whether they smoked pot in high school or their parents left when they were 2. Point is, just because someone comes from a family with issues does not mean that she herself has them, or that these cruel things didn't happen to this little girl. And no one will listen to her family and friends because they don't see them as credible sources? Last time I checked, anyone who isn't in a mental institution is considered credible in any court case...whether or not they hold a degree does not mean they do not hold a substantial amount of character.

*FYI* I once worked in a daycare where I had to take a class on sexual predators, and what to look for in children. On the video I watched one of the men who was a child molester was willing to speak. He did things so low such as join a church so that he would gain the adults' trust in order to get closer to the little girls. He started molesting them in church when they would sit on his lap and their dresses would cover up everything he was doing. This is being brought up because one of the previous posters had said they have seen him interact with children and how great he was with them and the community. Seriously, aren't we educated enough to know that serial killers and sex predators don't look like monsters and creep down suburb streets in suspicious vans? They look like normal people!!!

NoReply I am not Dustin and I found it odd you are so paranoid to believe that I am.

I am also pretty sure the mother requested the child be put into a neutral, third party home while an investigation be conducted. That didn't happen, right? Even after the video, even after the statements this child allegedly made, even after the strange behavior...no one thought to put her in a safe home while this was investigated?

As much is there is currently reason to question the validity of these claims, there is just as much reason to start over, look into this, and truly make certain a child is safe, happy, and has a fabulous quality of life full of love and joy.

Problem with that is if you place the child into a foster home and find no abuse.. that would be damaging to the child as well.

But what if she is being abused Agreed? Wouldn't it be better to just be safe? According to all of you Connie haters, that would be a no. That is what I just don't understand! There are "what if's" all over this case.

She is in a safe home and removing her from that would scar the child permanently. It was investigated over and over, what else do you want? Connie did this for revenge and convinced a very small corner of the internet that all her lies were true.

Karen noreply you are really looking very foolish. You don't need proof and you keep saying Connie has all this evidence so why bother responding here? Especially thinking Dustin can delete any of your posts here. As if Auburn Journal would listen to him? Seriously making an "DONKEY" out of yourself. But keep going, it's good entertainment.

Not really 11 CPS reports.. no abuse found..... watch no matter how many Lawyers Connie has or how many diff judges.. NO abuse will be found..

Karen, I have sentences from your other online posts and some earlier wording here matched up verbatim. You look nuts you know that.

NoReply go on and keep writing about not needing proof to call someone a pedophile.... and your proof being a coached video and corrupt police/county whatever lol. Do you even live in Placer County? Do you KNOW for sure they are corrupt?

Noreply..You really are a piece of work. You accuse the lady that wrote this article of sleeping with the father, and you accuse everyone of ignoring the facts. While you offer nothing in return but the same old "corruption" BS talking with a made up name and no pic on your profile.. Yeah, we should believe YOU.

Agreed - it's a big conspiracy, suddenly Dustin can control Auburn Journals posts. LMAO. The credibility flew out the window with this one hey.

ooooooh! Your tough arent' ya! You have to be cause your an idiot if you think I give a rats butt what YOU think of me...Too bad that's all you can come up with huh! GOT IT KAREN..."FLICK"

Wellsaid, go ahead and post them, my name is not Karen. People have NEVER used the same words before? You really are an idiot.

Beast1, you also said you weren't speaking to me, go away.

So Reply...your so "in the know" and since you couldn't respond to my lengthy logical post...i'll ask a "simple" question...WHAT PROOF HAVE YOU SEEN with your own eyes that this man is abusing his daughter? Can you think ONE answer out without being rude????

Hey, you are the one calling me Karen.....Did I say I was "in the know"? I just know a lot. And no, I haven't seen him abuse little Aali, if I did, he wouldn't be around. Have you been with him to see that he hasn't??? And if you are tough enough, come and shut it for me!

My trash what? Go away ShellyCA, I'm beligerent cuz you came in here spouting your mouth like you know it all.

ya know what noreply...you don't have to say your in the know...you have a big mouth and a know it all attitude....your immature and you can't hold a conversation unless your putting people down that don't share your opinion. You need help! Have you had a psych eval lately? I suggest you do before you hurt yourself....

p.s Your not worth my time...

noreply - show me where I spouted my mouth off! Go ahead...I posted ONE thing....and you attacked...just like you attack everyone else. I simply posted my opinion JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE YOU ATTACK....your teeth are showing...your claws are out...WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY ???

I feel sorry for you...I hope you don't have kids!

Awww, ShellyCA, you have hurt my feelings. Do I need a psych eval, I don't think so, but you do for saying I'm some chick named Karen. You are bitter towards some people aren't you? I'm sure you have a long list of woman names you can accuse me of being. And you need to take some spelling lessons. It is YOU ARE = YOU'RE. I don't care if anyone shares my opinion. Everyone that replied to me started with the accusations. Just doing my job to make sure that I am here and speaking for Aali!

noreply. You are the one acting like you know it all. And if you are NOT related to the family and have NO iniside information then you have only seen what the rest of us have. Though I would guess WE have investigated much further than you because you buy this tale.

ShellyCA, your first post is too long winded to remember where you attacked. You say I'm not worth your time, but you keep replying. Don't feel sorry for me, please I don't need anything from you. And when I do have kids, they'll always know I will believe them over ANY other person, ALWAYS

yes you do care if everyone shares your opinion....WHY ELSE DO YOU ATTACK? Your job might be to settle down and stop making this about you attacking people instead of simply posting your own opinion on baby A...and no I am not bitter...I just don't put up being crapped on for no reason...GET A GRIP LADY!

Now I'm Jan? Told you would have a list of woman names to call me. Keep 'em coming.

Nope again, I came here and posted my opinion and then all of a sudden WellSaid or Dustin, Joshy and Beast started with me first. I, too, do not put up with crap!

So let's see if i get this...I POST ONE SENTENCE AT A TIME ....can you handle that??? You my dear are the angry bitter one...IT shows! Hugs poor little needy noreply..... IT's ok hon....you'll be ok...just make the call!

ya well it wasn't me then was it ...you have an awful lot of hatred toward someone who only told you to read a few law books...D DOES NOT HAVE TO PROVE SQUAT....

Why am I nuts noreply? You haven't answered one question yet...just ranting and raving....YOUR DOING BABY A ZERO JUSTICE GIRLFRIEND....HAVE A LOOKSIE IN THE MIRRORIF YA WANT TO SEE RETARDED AND NUTS...

Your not stopping what noreply???? What have you accomplished today?

What PROOF do YOU have that this father is guilty? Can you handle one little question ?? oh please...do it for baby A....come on!!!!!

hehehe... Damn..

NOREPLY - Well???? Consulting on your answers? They shouldn't be that tough for someone who sounds like they know the truth about the father!!!!

Why did you leave when it was just getting fun! :)

This is one of the most amusing things I have ever read... Is it just me or does it seem like "NoReply" is possibly a 5th grader in a name calling battle? Maybe a child who lost a game and is taking her ball and going home with a :( face??? So far after reading aaaaalllllllllll of these posts you have nothing good to say, or should I say intelligent... Due to the fact that this is a local paper, we all know this MUST be Connie or a family member and I think that speaks loads for the Bedwells... According to you, NoReply, I guess I should be in jail as well since I seem to disagree with your erratic and feeble-minded posts. By the way, my favorite is how Dustin is apparently the webmaster for the journal and has erased Connie's errrr NoReply's comments...

auburnite 1 - You noticed that too eh....NOT ONE INTELLIGENT THING TO SAY! Isn't that contradictory of one who has such a high level of opinion of the case let alone herself?

I know plenty about Placer County! I also know that in my case the CPS worker lied and falsified her report. When I found out, she was no longer employed there and it was taken up with the legal department. I don't know who Connie or Dustin is, however I do know that there is a level of incompetence.

TruthIS-NOT..How long did that take you to copy and paste that stuff from other sites that most of us have read and dismissed?

Whew... It must be time for papa to step in eh NoReply??? Police do not take child abuse allegations lightly and basically everything that you are vomiting from mouth is laughable. This is just like somebody who began a lie to just keep running with it and now it has gotten way out of your hands. All you can do is point fingers and complain that it has all been one sided. Anybody that has been through family court knows that it is NEVER one sided, especially all for the father. Blame somebody else except for Connie's obvious lies. Yeah that's it. Where is all of your proof??? All of this garbage on the internet really shows the true character of Connie and her family. Way to go mom for exploiting your daughter for some sick revenge plot and for money. Way to be a good mother!!!! I have a feeling after all of this is done, that Connie will be well taken care of in prison she's got the looks!!!

Ooops the last post was by auburnite1...

LOL WHO LET THE MONKEY OUT OF IT"S CAGE THIS TIME? Gee mcgee will someone put Noreply away? Look at the mess left? All the BS tossed around from Noreply's butt. Somethin' stinks.

Whether it's Karen or not Beast & Shelly, NoReply sure has a lot of hate for the both of you. Must have got too close to the real truth about this all hey?

WOW...is all I can say. It'speople like this "Connie lady" that are wasting tax payer dollars by crying wolf so many times!!!! 11 CPS reports, really? You are a woman filled with a vegeance aren't you? Try therapy, a mental institution, or medication but you should leave this family alone! You are ruining their lives as well as your own. Don't you feel remorse for what you've done? I hope your guilty conscience gets the best of you! Dustin and his family are good people...you should regret alienating them!

I am a customer of the Auburn Journal and used to value you my time reading the paper everyday but after reading this ludicrous article I am disgusted that this was published. I am considering cancelling my subscription. What a horrible journalist...where's the proper journalism edicate? Hang in there Thompson family....the truth will always remain the truth. This woman needs help!

Oh good Lord. Give it a rest. This has digressed into an embarrassing example of immature behavior. From what I have read here, neither parent nor their supporters has an ounce of class. Name calling, sarcasm, accusations on both sides. This child doesn't have a chance.

70sixspeed...aka boyfriend of Connie,

I can't believe how disgusting your post is. Feel free to think and believe whatever you want, but have some class while doing it.

Again, not to sound like a broken record, but Dustin has been cleared of all of these accusations. His daughter is happy and loving and came out of her shell once she was free to be herself.

Based on the content of their posts, Noreply and 70sixspeed should be avoided like the plague.

I believe you Mrs. Bedwell. If I were you, I would find out how many of the lawyers/judges/etc.. are freemasons and expose them. That would explain the "good ol boy" club going on. Freemasons take up for their own and they don't have to attend the same lodge. They make unjust judges.

I find it curious all the fathers supporters jump on the theory that mom coached Aaliyah to say ALL THIS STUFF. 27 minutes of uninterrupted explanations of her abuse. Yet not one of them have even considered that dad might have taught her to say, one short sentence. Mommy makes me say things.. hmmmm now I wonder, how difficult would it be to teach the child 27 minutes worth of explanations of abuse or one short sentence when he has full custody. Yep my money is still on mom just desperately trying to protect her child from sexual abuse. I know many adults who could NOT remember 27 minutes of explanations and yet all daddy's supporters swear this little girl has mastered what some adults couldn't. With appropriate gagging sounds and even the napkin clean up. If mom could accomplish 27 minutes dad could have accomplished that short sentence in 10 seconds. My loyalties are protecting this child.

It all boils down to many many people find it very hard to believe that every official in this case is a cold blooded pedophile supporter and the lack of evidence!

Salamder - Do you have an actual opinion on the case or are you just another fly by ...I have tried to get noreply to stop attacking and start talking as her behaviour is NOT helping this child. I take offense to your very remarks about class...if you want to comment about class....you should be more specific to whom your talking to and "about"! I have excercised restraint some posts with sarcasm...it's better then stooping to their level of anger and immaturity! I'm trying to get to the bottom of how these people can sit and judge supporters of the TRUTH with nothing to base their anger on except emotion! I have yet to hear any explanation on WHY these people are so angry at those of us who DON'T SEE PROOF THE FATHER IS GUILTY? Simple!!! How can ANYONE form a ONE SIDED OPINION on the "stuff" that the mother and her pose has put out there? NOT ONE OUNCE OF EVIDENCE .....and 11 investigations...yet people are attacking anyone who won't buy this very weak abuse allegation!

Anyone who gets that angry has personal issues! I still have no answers....I don't how many different ways to ask the same things of these angry people. Wanting the truth should not warrant being attacked! This is something that way over the heads of those who have taken Connies side in all this ...HOW CAN ANYONE TAKE A SIDE AND BASH AND CALL NAMES OF OTHERS WHO HAVEN'T TAKEN ANY SIDES....IS THIS WAY BEYOND ANY OF YOUR MENTAL CAPACITIES ....THERE SHOULD BE NO SIDE BUT THE TRUTH!!!!!

I am not going to post here any more after this comment, but I do wish to apologize if I offended any of the readers of this comment section. I have re-read all of the comments and thanks to whomever, all of my posts where I was calm and rational are all gone. You people really play dirty. I don't care that all my rantings are the only ones left, but jeez! It's amazing how someone can make you look crazy if they wanted to. I also see all the posts from people stating I was three or four different people are gone, this is just amazing to me. Again, to any readers, not commentors, that I had offended yesterday, I apologize. Justice for Aaliyah!

To Mr. Thompson- I wish I could send this to you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Sir,

I would like to say that I never have thought everything was on the up and up with the video and the "SaveA....com" site. I commend you for stepping up and removing your daughter from a situation we do not know about, but which the courts deemed to be harmful to her.

Raising a child is never easy, and I know you have faced very harsh judgment from strangers.

I want you to know that not all who have read about your daughter blame you or judge you with condemnation, but see you as most likely removing little A from an unstable lifestyle with her mother. You are mostly unknown to us collectively, because you have had the good sense to keep your daughter off the Internet. I know that the truth is not ours to judge solely. We, the Internet posters who want justice for children everywhere, cannot know what has transpired behind closed doors or why a mother would lose all custody of her 2-3 year old female child. The fact that she did, for whatever reason, speaks volumes to many of us.

I understand that you and she are back in the court system again because she now has the money for an attorney ( supposedly paid for off A's " worm" video). It makes me physically sick when I consider the pandering of a child for financial gain and I think she should be held accountable for selling her child's innocence on the Internet.

From what I have seen and read, I believe that Connie is a very unstable and immature woman who has exposed her daughter to pedophiles through the child's video, at the least. I also have many questions and reservations about why A is afraid of Darrel and his " friends', which was related as a very separate experience apart from Connie's obvious smear campaign against you.

I hope you are a good man, a good father, a stable force in A's life, and I hope you and she have female caregivers helping you to show her how to be do " little girl" type things, too. I wish none of this had ever reached the Internet. I wish your daughter's name had never been put on a website by her mother. I wish her face and her little voice had never been USED by her mother to get donations for her mother's lawyer ( or whatever else).

If you can take care of A, please do so gently and consistently. If you can't be a full time parent, please put the child's needs ahead of yours and Connie's and consider other placement options for your child. All children need a sense of belonging, of being cherished, of constancy and of trust above all else.

I think all of us here want what is best for A, regardless of the "other characters" who have perhaps colored our viewpoints with their escapades, their exploitive video taken " in the dark" to add to the prurient factor, their crude talk on a blog site, and their constant labeling of you, A's custodial parent, as a " pedophile".

I hope A grows up with all the joy and wonderment a little child should have, with a strong healthy sense of personal boundaries ( Say NO to relatives wanting to videotape you in the dark, little A), and with the knowledge that SHE IS SPECIAL, LOVED AND PROTECTED.

If I knew how to send this to you, I would. Good, loving Daddies are so special to little girls. I once literally walked into a fire to get to my Daddy when I was 2 years old, not understanding that fires hurt, and without him realizing I was running into danger. His love and gentle trust in me has remained constant for all my life, even when I probably didn't deserve it.

Be that person for A. She will need strong, wonderful memories of the two of you bonding and of the assurance of your fatherly love when she gets older and has to deal with Connie by herself.

Godspeed to you and little A,

Maria

I was going to refrain from posting my site here but I can see that there are people willing to look at both sides and not blindly listen to anything that has an emotional attachment. You may visit http://djxtreme.wordpress.com and see some of the other views people have. And also information on our upcoming radio program on this topic, and the subject of Family custody issues.

truth is

all of placer county is corrupted they are suppose to protect us and our family and that sergeant works for the city of auburn? he should be fired. placer county does not care about molesters in our county look on the map how many of those scum live near our schools. i believe connie and that baby and hopes someone helps them soon. i met an ex DA from placer county scared me what a weirdo. and they r only out to get you not help you sad for our police and judges to turn on people that need them. that lil girl should have been examind what right did he have to say she couldn't be? and that nut case rodarte needs to be fired!!!!!!!!!!!!! she suppose to protect children? she's allowing the dad to abuse the child. i'd be afraid of cps too children that should be taken out of a home they let remain there, children very well taken care of get taken away what the heck is wrong with our sick system ? seems they only care about their pay hecks good luck connie we are behind you

Why are some of the comments being deleted?

scooternboo

please re-read my post because you clearly misread..

"No crazy whack job mother still breastfeeds their 2 year old. I am a mother who advocates extended breastfeeding, and it is for the health, nourishment, and bond that it instills between a mother and a child. It doesn't make sense that this woman was trying to only gain custody by "crying wolf" inturn ruining her daughter's life, yet at the same time giving her the love and nourishment that comes along with nursing?"

Emphasis on the CRAZY WHACK JOB. Since I am such an idiot I will break it down into simpler terms. No Mommy who nurses toddler is off rocker. I just don't see it happening. I don't know how this was misconstrued with "no one else does it"???

I don't know why your attacking someone who shares your point of view on this topic.

Most of the comments that the backtracking NoReply posted that were erased were outrageous with personal attacks on people. Not sure how or why she thinks that they would be taken off the site if they weren't offensive or disgusting attacks on Dustin or any of us that believe in him. I think she may have realized that these posts can be tracked to whomever is writing them....

Dustin we know you are a great dad!!

AnnAmb. there is no theory the mother coached the child. A TEAM OF SPECIALISTS DETERMINED CONNIE COACHED THE CHILD. A far cry from a theory. It was PROVEN. I stand by the child too and she seems to be in a very safe loving environment. Right where she belongs.

NOREPLY, the only comments deleted that were posted by you were the ones that personally attacked others here in a big way. Nothing else you've contained anything credible whatsoever.

Dustin, I do not know you sir but reading this article clears up what my hunch has been for a few weeks. You are a person being raked through the coals by a woman bent on revenge because she lost all custody of your daughter. Experts confirmed Connie coached this child, investigators determined you are innocent. That is enough for me.

The auburn urnal and its journalist of the year strike again!!!!!!!!! THE CASE IS CLOSED WHY RUN SUCH A HARMFUL MANIPULATIVE STORY?

The people of Auburn and surrounding areas should demand better!!!

I think you may have missed my point. It is not possible to prove you are *not doing* something that you are randomly & wrongly accused of. So, instead of 'prove that you're not abusing your mother' (which, apparently, is a sore point for you that I stumbled upon), how about 'can you prove that you're not abusing my daughter'? Go on, prove it! If not, I'll continue to say that it is true. Although, I most certainly won't put my daughter through the court system repeatedly, trying to convince her it is true, just to prove my point or make myself feel avenged.

The abuse may be true, but it is not up to the accused to prove that it isn't. It is up the the accuser to prove that it is.

What's especially sad for me is that, if these allegations are false - especially if the mother knows they are false & is just manipulating video to create the illusion that abuse is happening, then, once the truth comes out, it will be harder for the next child, the one who is truly in need of saving, the one who is truly being abused, to be heard & believed.

Additionally, as a stepmother to a child whose mother did make false allegations (not of sexual abuse, but of abuse, stalking, harrassment, etc), I know how damaging living with those lies, with a parent who clearly puts her hate for the other parent above her love for and responsibility toward her child, can be to the child who's caught in the middle - being treated like a 'thing' that the parent uses to harm the other parent, rather than being lovingly parented.

If these allegations are not true and if dad is reading - keep on doing what you know is right for your child - love her, let her love mom no matter how messed up mom is & how much mom infuriates you, shield her from the crazy as much as you can. Keep on doing your best to give her as much 'normal childhood' as you can through it all.

ShellyCA-No I don't have an opinion on the case. Only the parties involved really know what's been happening. My point was that not one of these posters is doing anything positive to help the cause for either side. Reread some of the posts. I understand that this is an emotional issue, but really, most people who have posted sound crazy. Back and forth, he said she said, the same ranting posts over and over. Nothing has been accomplished here.

Stop censoring the messages!

VIDEO OF AALIYAH EXCHANGES

www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VWzfM14Ha4

Cannot blame them ANN when you all want to exploit a child.

All that shows is how good Connie is at getting her daughter all worked up before she goes to daddy. I see a lot of toddlers that react the same. Easy enough to do. Make sure the kid doesn't get enough sleep AND tell the kid she'll never see mommy again. Would get any toddler crying.

What a bunch of lunatics you all are. NOTHING on there is any form of evidence. The child reacts like a bunch of toddlers would WHEN THEY'RE GOING THROUGH CUSTODY FIGHTS BETWEEN THEIR PARENTS. HOW DARE YOU CONTINUE TO EXPLOIT YOUR CHILD. ANOTHER VIOLATION OF THE COURT GAG ORDER AS WELL I SEE.

Another fine example of the lengths Connie goes to, to destroy an innocent man. She will do everything she can. This one will have her behind bars now.

No child reacts that way to a parent. Not wanting to be dropped off at a daycare with strangers, ok. But with their father? I think not. Even when my kids have not wanted to go with their dad before, they never screamed that way and had to be pryed away. They reluctantly went, fussing, but got over it as soon as I was out of sight out of mind.

That poor child.

After I married my husband, I rode in the car with my stepdaughter as we drove to the exchanges. You could almost see the stomachache coming on, the fear, the tension building. My husband & I made up all kinds of games to play to distract her on the ride. We'd bring exciting books along to read so she wouldn't notice the time passing.

The worst times were when mom was late, because my stepdaughter knew how to tell time, knew mom was late, worried that something bad was going to happen, had more time to worry about how crazy mom acts when she's around dad...

Oh, I hope that this child has some stability & civility in her life, soon - that the 'mom hates dad, but I love them both' worries can stop for her & that she can get on being a regular kid, with the only parents in her life being ones that understand their responsibility towards her as parents, who put their personal issues aside & get on with the huge job of raising their child.

What's that supposed to mean troyanna? My kid acts like that everytime we leave mexico! LOTS of children get upset, especially children that are being exploited and coached by the mother.

WHAT DOES CONNIE WHISPER IN HER EAR JUST BEFORE SHE GIVES HER TO DADDY? Connie, you are the lowest of the low. None of this is proof of anything yet again. Just put out there to take the focus off the TRUTH. SPIN SPIN SPIN.

Shows us all here how desperate Connie really is now. Let her be desperate. She has no evidence of abuse, this yet again shows nothing. Enjoy yourself Connie, you are showing the world just how evil you are.

This to me looks like what a child does when they are dropped off to go to somewhere new. You have to remember that Dustin didn't have a lot of contact with the baby the first part of her life, so saying that a child wouldn't do this with her father is untrue, especially if the child doesn't really know her dad. Also a child that has only been with her mom and the moms family her whole life is going to react this way when she has to go somewhere other than with her mother! I have children and have witnessed this myself with my own children and I'm sure that most parents can say that this has happened with their child at some point in their childhood. If I remember correctly one of Connies sisters also stated that the baby would do the same thing when she was dropped of to daycare.

Does that mean that the daycare was abusing her also???

Yes, children get upset when they leave somewhere they were having fun, felt safe, etc..

Yes troyana and the child looks happy & well rested when being returned to the mother too. Sure looks like she must have enjoyed her time with her dad then I guess hey?!!

So what is Connie whispering to her to get her all worked up? Coaching the child repeatedly, it's CONNIE that gets her daughter all worked up and when Aaliyah is returned, she is happy & rested. Hmmmmmmmmmm actually this is a good video for all to see.

Still funny how Connie will not provide any actual credible evidence showing abuse. We ask and ask and ask and she provides another video created by her. Where's your doctors backing you up Connie? Wheres your experts? Dustin was found innocent of your claims AND he got full custody. The unbiased out of county judge backs up the father too.

Evidence please.

People see what they want to see. You WellSaid see one side of how this video can be portrayed, and I see another. In reality neither of us know how that child is feeling, and when she is tired that could be misconstrued for fearful. When she is relieved that could be misconstrued as well-rested. Either way, more evidence from Connie's side has been brought into the light, and it makes one wonder how much more there really is?

troyanna, I do see a child all worked up right before she goes with her daddy. Tells me who is doing the coaching? Then I see a well rested content child being returned to the mother. I want this video to stay up. It shows the lengths Connie tries to go to, to get her daughter upset. It shows who the abuser is.

Not sure what evidence you speak of troyanna, all I see is the multiple lengthy investigations done and the father found innocent of any accusations. I see a NEW judge also siding with the father after reviewing all the documentation. I see this new judge now throwing the book at Connie for further exploitation and breaking the gag order once again. The courts will only take so much. This is probably the end of any visitation she will have.

This settles it for me. Putting up another video made by the mother, not by any expert to decide abuse, tells me Connie has nothing else to show the world.

It shows her to be desperate last act to toss out there.

You have nothing Connie, no REAL evidence. This is all you have. You must be running scared. The world has stopped listening but the few people you've scammed. Good luck to you at the next court hearing. It will probably have very serious consequences for you.

I've seen enough, this is all enough! Connie Bedwell where is your evidence showing abuse by the father? You had your chance to show this journalist Jennifer Gee all your evidence. You had the opportunity to give her everything for her to see. If my child was truly being molested, everything I had would be laid out for everyone to see, especially to Jennifer Gee, the writer here.

Jennifer gave you the opportunity to tell your entire story yet you use the comment section to put out a video that shows nothing. Jennifer points out in the article how you decline to answer certain questions posed to you too. In this video, I can see a child who is being torn between two parents in an ugly custody fight. If I'm correct you even look at the camera asking if they 'got it all'. That shows you have set up a situation to make it appear something it probably is not and you are in control of the camera & the results, not the father. I too see you whisper in your childs’ ear, I wonder what you say to get her to cry like that? I agree with the above comment where they say the child is relaxed and happy when the father returns her to you. That was my reaction too.

You had your chance to prove your conspiracies and accusations. You could have shown your community how Dustin has systematically amazingly convinced an unknown number of experts that he was innocent. You cannot do that because these experts have determined who is telling the truth and who is not. You chose to put out something that shows nothing.

This act of desperation tells all of us in Auburn area you really have nothing else to give us. I'm about done listening to anything you think you have to say. There are a lot of rumors about you in the area, none of them are favorable. Even though they are rumors, there must be some truth to them all. Using your child in the manner chosen, online videos, is a terrible horrible thing to have done to her. Most of us in Auburn know there's no abuse and we know there is no conspiracy. We live in a great town where all would fight against a real pedophile. Maybe all of us should be demanding the courts put an end to it all and throw you in jail. I'll be the first to sign up.

I have to say that that video is extremely disturbing. What we ask for is evidence of abuse, the video linked above could be considered as abuse but not by the father but by the mother. Why would you post something like that, you people are sick. Children are extremely scared when they have these exchanges, especially when they have spent most of their childhood with only one of the parents. I am utterly disgusted at the lengths you people will go to.

So when my son screams like that when we put him in his car seat or when he has to go back inside it means our house and car is abusing him. Interesting!

Ann_Onimus ~ They are censoring things because all of this is exploiting a little girl and slandering her father's name. It is shameful!!!!

That's exactly my point...the only reason nothing is being accomplished and we aren't getting the truth is because all the POsters here and other blogs who rush to judgement don't want to see the truth..they don't want to discuss it, the only want to attack...they can't even back up their own opinions or listen to anothers'. All they see is those of us who want the truth are supporting a pedophile...is very narrow minded

Really roadranover,

THE TRUTH IS'NT SLANDER....

All Dustin Thompson supporters scream for evidence....there's some more.

Interestingly enough, Dustin has had the child for over 10 months straight and at the last visitation almost 2 weeks ago the child still reacts that way when she has to go back to anyone of the Thompsons. This has been witnessed and documented by Betty the visitation supervisor. You people wouldn't know what evidence was if walked up and kicked you in the crouch! Every trained professional who has seen the evidence except those "Placer County Professionals" say there is abuse going while the child is in the hands of the father.

My previous post had no name calling or slander in it and it was deleted off this thread...What it amounts to is no comment against the accused child molester, Thompson's, or Auburn Police Department will be left for others to read. I guess that's the way it is when you have to stay in the good graces of Placer County Law enforcement!

Interesting thing about computers. They all leave a trail. Whomever posted that video to YouTube better have a darn good explanation on how they came in it's possession. I'm sure law enforcement will be looking into it. Isn't there a gag order in place? Of course if there is no gag order then that just goes in the pile of other lies. That video only shows how disgusting the attempts are to portray something normal as something else. Parental discourse and custody battles are hard enough on children, but what is happening in this case has gone way beyond that. there is abuse going on. And Connie Bedwell belongs in Jail for child abuse.

Wow...Great evidence. You are sick to put a 3 year old on the internet...Again.

By posting this last one, you have shown your true colors Connie. Maybe you should make another website. One that will pay for your bail money. www.saveconniefromjail.com

TruthIs how come your trained professionals have not gone to the judge with this evidence and their opinion? If they feel that abuse is happening, they must come forward. You, like many other posters here are not making any sense attempting to make comments that seem to be credible but further analysis shows these statements are lies. Your trained professional comment is a fine example of a lie from the Bedwells. Your professionals are bound by law to report child abuse and there are currently professionals, doctors or psychologists on the record in the courts that have made an abuse accusation against Dustin or the Thompsons. As an Auburn resident that knows something about this case, I'm going to start demanding this woman be put in jail. You are sounding much like that bizarre bloggernews.net Simon who was angry because no one was returning his calls. I wonder if he knows Auburn residents are laughing at him?

Correction 'there are currently no professionals or doctors that have filed an abuse claim against Dustin. If any professional believes abuse is happening, they can legally find themselves in serious trouble by not reporting it. I wonder if TruthIS professionals are also covering for a 'pedophile'?

WellSaid & KenAub and supporters the accused Child Molester;

Authorities can and may very well trace the IP address, but they won't find it to be Connie. Connie is out of the equation and has been since the restraining order!

This march for the truth is just beginning and you followers of the Accused Child Molester are going to see these Thompson's lies unravel before the nation, slapping you in the face each time their lies are revealed! If you all are so sure the Placer County is such a truthful, fair and just, above reproach institution and community, read the article at;

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/43819/placer_county_judicial_system.html?cat=17

Evidence has been reported, and submitted to the court by court mandated professionals and have to date been ignored.

Then come and tell us all about the validity of PC Professionals findings regarding this case.

PLACER COUNTY IS NAMED AS THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTY IN CALIFORNIA

Your foundational of for support of Dustin’s innocence by the findings of Placer County, “professionals”, CPS STEP, APD and the court system is laughable, but keep pulling it on the ignorant, their swallowing it.

It means nothing that the new judge upheld the Kearny’s restraining order. It’s SOP. The current restraining order will be removed shortly.

Until you supporters of the accused Child Molester can answer the above stated article, you need to refrain from your baseless comments. They’re just so much blathering rhetoric.

All the B.S. you’re posting here is just showing the world just how ignorant you truly are!

ACCUSED CHILD MOLESTER SUPPORTERS;

YOU CAN DELETE MY WRITING ABOUT SGT VICTOR PECORARO OF APD OVER AND OVER, BUT IT WILL BE TESTIFIED TO IN COURT.

Interesting fact it's the accused child molester supporters are the one's hitting the "Report inappropriate comments" to get the Auburn urinal to delete posts.

ACCUSED CHILD MOLESTER AND SUPPORTERS CAN’T STAND THE TRUTH.

TRUTH IS, THE TRUTH HURTS …… DOESN'T IT?

TruthIs; the majority of the citizens of Auburn are backing the Thompsons. The best interests of the child is at stake and Connie will never get a chance to coach or harm her daughter, not ever. We will be calling for authorities to arrest this woman, jail is where she belongs. You are not dumping on a young man, you are dumping on an entire community. We are not going to stand for this any longer! Connie will be behind bars. Please go back to your pitiful blogger site Simon, your strange opinions and discredited comments are not welcome nor believed.

kEN aUB,

If you would quite talking about things you know nothing about and go get the filed paper work for the court you'd know the answer to your overly repeated questions...WHY DO YOU THINK A NEW JUDGE WAS APPOINTED FROM OUTSIDE PC HAS BEEN APPOINTED TO THIS CASE? Believe me, Simon and Jan could careless about what the ACCUSED CHILD MOLESTERS FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS THINK..............REALLY GET A GRIP!

TruthISN'T...we are sick of your rantings and ravings. This boils down to a three year old girl that is being used as a pawn by a mother that has some serious problems. Dustin doesn't need to answer to you or on this comments page to prove he is innocent. HE ALREADY HAS IN A COURT OF LAW.

Looks like you're the one losing your grip. I know why a new judge was appointed and I know exactly what I'm speaking of, which I'm sure is why you are the one screaming, because truth does hurt. Connie is about to find out how much the Thompsons and this community will stand up for the truth. bye bye I won't bother responding to your highly irrational screaming posts as it's impossible to communicate with the mentally ill.

The above post was for TruthIs, not roadrunner.

First off, this link you keep posting as your proof that Placer County is corrupt is from almost 3 years ago & it only speaks of 4 different cases. There are thousands (if not more) of cases that go through that court yearly and you think that because you have an article that talks about 4 different cases that this proves that PC is corrupt!! You TruthIs is the one that needs to get a grip!

Sounds to me like the good people of Auburn and Placer County have had just about enough.

Dear Connie,

The website that the article you posted is called ASSOCIATED CONTENT. I am wondering if you mistakenly thought that this was the ASSOCIATED PRESS. I had never heard of this news outlet before so I decided to check it out. After doing a little research on this website I found out the following information:

Associated Content is an Open Content Network.

AC's platform enables anyone to participate in the new content economy by publishing content on any topic, in any format (text, video, audio and images), and connects that content to consumers, partners and advertisers.

The depth and breadth of our library is the perfect match for our partners who desire authentic content for their own websites or to advertise against at AssociatedContent.com. If we don't have the content you need, our Sources can quickly and affordably generate credible, engaging content on any topic. Click here to learn more about what we offer our partners.

Associated Content was founded by Luke Beatty in Denver, Colorado, in 2005.

Today, with its vast library of unique multimedia content, diverse community of Sources and scalable platform, Associated Content provides consumers, brands, and publishers with a wide range of quality content.

I am not sure if you can understand the complex nature of this writing because it is not the same language that is used in "The Days of our Lives" or any other show that you watch during the day when you are not at work, but it basically states that anybody can write anything they want and it will be published on this website, and if they don't have it, for the right price, they can get it for you.

Now, this may be a shock to you, but this is kind of an internet tabloid that holds the same credibility as the NATIONAL ENQUIRER. The NATIONAL ENQUIRER last week I believe said that Brad Pitt was an alien flown here from the planet Jupiter. (Please don't take this serious and smear NASA's name all over the internet for withholding this information from the public)

The people that write for this website must have the following credentials as per above: (Bedwell Translation)

anybody= must be a human being, so your dog cannot write for this site; If you can breathe you can write for this website

about anything= the opposite of nothing,

In any format= whatever you want to do is cool with them, so if you want to do some coloring and send it to them, they may post it for you.

I do not intend to ruffle anymore feathers with you and your family, I just wanted you to know that the source of this article claiming that Placer County is Corrupt was written by a person (not a journalist with a college degree and a career in the field) who probably lost a court battle and they are venting their frustration. This is an opinion piece that has an obvious agenda and is biased. There is no credibility here. I am sorry that I had to bring this to your attention but you are embarrassing yourself and the city of Auburn. (The content from the website is available on the front page of the website under the link: About Associated Content if you need to see it with your own eyes)

This statement: The Placer County court system is not corrupt, carries as much weight (if not more) as the article that you posted above, and if you want I can write ASSOCIATED CONTENT an article stating this opinion and have it published. Hell, with people like you out there, they may even pay me for doing so.

Sincerely,

Josh Smith

70sixspeed ~ your comments are always crude and accusatory. Get some class.

I am not a pissed member banned from BNN nor a member of the Thompson family. I am an educated person that can make my own decisions based on facts and evidence. If you don't agree with me, that is fine. We live in America and can agree to disagree. Just know that we (the community of Auburn) aren't going to let this woman ruin Dustin's reputation by making false accusations. This three year old girl doesn't deserve this turmoil that Connie is causing in her life.

TRUTHISN"T , D.T. WAS CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES GET TROUGH YOU HEAD!!!!!!!!! JUST CAUSE YOU ARE STILL ACCUSSING HIM HOLDS NO WATER LIKE THE AUBURN DAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET IT YET THAT"S THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

70sixspeed Darrel when you have nothing on your side you decide to make dumb accusations. I've posted a pic in my profile, Auburn can see who I am.

The Thompsons have not uttered a word. They have taken the high road and will keep this in the court system. They will fight and they will continue to win as they have for the past year. They will win on evidence and credibility. Unlike Connie who has failed at every turn and will continue to fail because she has nothing in her corner but an endless string of lies & threats. Theres vast strong supporters of the Thompson family and it is Auburn you have angered. Its easy enough to fight one young man, it's another thing to take on an entire community.

Previous post should have read(GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD). Sorry about that!

70sixspeed,

Is that a threat? It sounds like a threat to me. This is a comment board made available by you and your family because you had an article published in the Auburn Journal full of lies and half thruths (the truth is the half that wasn't told). Did you think that the town of Auburn would support this without an ounce of evidence? Did you expect people to be happy about this article when there are thousands of people who know that this is a lie and will put thier lives on the line to support the Thompson's. Do you know why people would support a family like the Thompson's, because they are kind, generous, and quality people who establish relationships with the community by giving back to it. They genuinely care about other people and their well being and have for over 50 years here in Auburn.

I just want to recap the evidence that you have presented so far:

1. A coached videotape smeared all over the internet that the court discredited

2. Videotaped exchanges which show the father cooperating and the child happy when he leaves the fathers custody (remind you that this was over a year ago, before he really had a chance to get to know his daughter like he does now, they are best firends who love eachother very much) and the mother's side, with a video recorder shoved in the fathers face from the time he gets out of his car and walks over, her clutching the child reluctant to give her up, whispering in her ear who knows what, and the child is already distressed when the child leaves the mother's custody ( I'm still confused how this helps your side, it looks like abuse by the mother to me, but that is just my opinion)

3. And an article from a tabloid written by a person who holds a grudge with the courts for not recieving the outcome he or she was looking for.

so far it looks rock solid for you, good luck!!!

Yours truely,

Josh Smith

whitewater drunky,

PROVE THAT HE WAS CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES? There was never a full investigation done! But there will be!!!

The police sergeant says that all the cases are closed and the father has been cleared of all charges. That's all the proof we need. THANKS!!!

We all will believe the police before we believe any of you!

I would just like to say that my brother-in-law, Darrel, whom I have know since he and I were both 17 years old, is not in any way, whatsoever, a bad guy!! He loves Connie, and he loves Aaliyah. He is so so great with kids...my two sons love their Uncle Darrel and think he is beyond cool. Since I have known Darrel, he has been "the good kid", as far as I can tell (and I married his black sheep brother). Darrel has never been one to speak out about anything, ever. Yet this situation has brought out a side of him I am proud to see. Darrel, I know you love Connie, I know you love Aaliyah, I know you worked hard to get where you are and I know you can and hopefully will make a good role model for this precious girl!! Stand up for what you believe in, you have a solid backing behind you...mostly, we want to know the safety and well being of this precious baby girl is ensured. Backing 70sixspeed, completely backing Aaliyah, and I don't care which way this goes as long as Aaliyah is happy, safe, smiling, and carefree...every child should have that luxury, because life just gets harder the older we get.

Bless you, Aaliyah, you precious baby girl!! And Darrel, so what if people bash you...I know you are following your heart, and your intentions are good. Much love!!

TruthIS Oh was it you that suggested the use of the word napkin?

Josh Smith, and all Dustin supporters;

Prove the video was coached, other then your word or Thompson's word. You'll claim the professionals said so.... PROVE THAT! I will tell the same thing the professionals said she was coached. We hear the words, where's the PROOF?

The video is being examined to see if it was coached, and if it's uncut, undoctored, uncoached then what.... I'm telling you now, it will be proved to be authentic and uncoached, uncut and undoctored. When it's proven authentic in all respects what will be your stance then? Will Dustin be proven a child molester out of the mouth of his own daughter? Tell me, what will satisfy your evidence request? Third party court mandated reports don't seem to do it for you. What will it take to convince any of you?

The odd thing is that the evidence you've is what will hang the abusers!

You all would rather support nice fluffy empty words and descriptions from the Thompsons. Connie has only had two hours a week visitation with the child and she still freaks out having to go back to any Thompson…. Go Figure!

And what proof do you have of that???

WATCH THE DADDY'S WORM VIDEO HIS DAUGHTER SAID SOOOOOOO!!!

Do you not realize that this video was not evidence in court because it was created after the courts had told the mother to stop recording the daughter. You are amazing!! You have come to the wrong place if you think you will ever be able to convince the people of Auburn or Placer County that everyone in our community is corrupt. WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY so go back to your other site with all your groupies and blog with them because it will never happen here!!!!!

How sad can it get when a woman uses her own child for revenge? Connies actions are not of someone who wants justice and her supporters writing in the comments show how true that is. They hate and scream, accuse and deny, they lie and they make up things.

Auburn residents are intelligent and proud of their community. No hate ridden lies from the Bedwells, Darrel or other Connie hate group will change the way we feel about our community either. Everyone can see for themselves in this article.

1 - There was an investigation

2 - Specialists have seen the child

3 - Accusations were unfounded and cleared the dad

4 - Specialists confirm Connie coached the child

5 - The dad receives full 100% custody of the child

6 - Severe restrictions and supervised visitation placed on Connie

Connies hate group has tried to put out lies and mislead others. The ones that believed her lies sadly are innocent niave people who didn't know the story. Now they do and it shows with the quick declining support of Connie. Her voice and lies are getting quieter with each minute and support for the Thompsons are getting louder. From the reactions of Connies hate group tonight, they greatly fear the gaining support of the Thompsons. Intelligent readers can easily determine why Connies group has fear and strong reactions to our posts and decide calling us names and screaming will somehow change the truth. Thompsons, AUBURN stands by you.

Maybe you got my point!

Dear Valued Users:

We appreciate your concern for the child and for the families involved. Unfortunately, monitoring the onslaught of personal attacks from both sides was becoming too much for our limited staff to handle so we are closing the commenting on this story.
