JustStop; I'm new to the blogging arena, do you review
posts before you post them (probably a good thing). I have
replied to a comment by John Pomerleau as follows:
John. I used the word "abducted" as the dictionary
defines it: to remove (a person) by force or cunning; or to seize and
take away (as a person) by force
Excerpt from "Ayla's Timeline" (http://www.aylareynolds.com/photos/aylas_timeline.pdf).
October 17th 2011 7pm -
...Ayla was removed kicking and screaming... (in fact Ayla tried to
bite the officer as he was handing her over to Justin). It was a traumatic
experience for all present, including the officer involved.. After Justin
and his Mom left, the officer stated to Becky that: "if he had his way, he would
not have let Ayla go with Justin". Jeff
... and the insurance is State
Farm not Allstate.. my fault.

..and just an FYI that you can post in the proper
place: "98% of the photos of Ayla you see on the internet
(and television broadcasts) have been taken by Ronnie Reynolds SR (Ayla loved to
pose for his camera). The originals (straight from his cell phone to my
e-mail) can be seen and downloaded from Ayla's website:
www.aylareynolds .com - We encourage people to download and display photos
of Ayla anywhere they can as they are helping raise awareness that Ayla is
missing for us... and I will be adding newer photos to
the website soon". Jeff

Sorry you felt the need to clarify Jeff. Certainly not life altering changes. God bless you, Ayla, Trista and your family.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I used the word clarify in the wrong context? You're right, he didn't really change much. I think he was adding information, or trying to help some of the commenters understand his points.
DeleteNo, no. I'm sure people will question everything he says. I just think it's sad in general.
DeleteThank You for your reply to my question. You have been very kind and patient in helping us to understand. We ALL appreciate your speaking with us and providing what details you can. My family and I send our prayers and wishes out to you Ayla and the rest of your family. Tell Trista to NEVER STOP HOPING.
DeleteI believe Ayla was kicking, screaming, and biting. I do not think that necessarily means that Ayla was extremely against being with Justin and his family. I see kids screaming and taking temper tantrums all the time and the reason is: just because. I'll bet that in less than one-half hour, Ayla was over her hissy fit and happy with The DiPietro's.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad the DiPietros didn't take video or pics of that day after they got back to Waterville. Is there any video of Ayla at the Waterville home?
Voice of reason? Saying a child was having a "hissy fit" when being taken from where she was comfortable. Being in the arms of an officer who she did not know so was probably scared. And maybe scared just by the entire atmosphere surrounding this. A hissy fit!! Are you joking? Is it a hissy fit when a child is frightened? Wow am i glad i don't need you on my side for anything , very heartless comment! I'm disgusted more by this comment than ANYTHING I have seen on any sites or blogs!!!!!!! Voice of reason? and you wonder why someone would not want to listen to YOUR voice.
DeleteWhy were Jessica Reynolds' first children taken away from her and placed in foster care but Ayla was placed in her care by Trista ?
DeleteI have no idea why, if, or how long ago a child or children were taken from her. In my family 8 children were ALL taken away from our parents because neither could take care of us financially on their own..that is what DHS determined. maybe there was no cause fro anyone to think that Ayla would be in harms way there and as far as i know nothing happened to her while in that household. I'm not sure if there was another person also living there to care for Ayla.
Deletems.peridot19
DeleteWOW!!! really, you are the 'voiceofreason'? not by this statement. you really think ayla being forcibly removed was not traumatic for her? that is so ridiculous i am actually laughing at this!
justin had other options. first of all justin could have increased his physical time he spent with ayla. let ayla learn she had a dad she could trust and count on. also justin could have even started calling ayla (on a phone) on a regular basis so ayla would feel she knew him better.
even while trista was away in rehab (literally for a few days) justin could have asked to spend time with ayla. if the family was uncomfortable handing ayla over in trista's short absence, justin could still have tried to visit with ayla in their (becca or jessica's) presence. or even invite ayla along with a family member to go somewhere. i don't know maybe go to mac d for a hamburger or just a visit in the park. wow, imagine justin putting forth effort to reassure everyone that he justin had ayla's best interest at heart! i mean after all we are talking about a very little girl.
instead when trista was not there, justin pounced and involved hhs and law enforcement. i cannot see for myself that justin's priority was ayla. it looks to me like the priority was justin's legal power to have ayla and also most likely justin's way to get out of paying the money he legally owed trista for support.
i do not believe it was necessarily against the dips either that ayla was crying and frightened but, it could have been if ayla was afraid of j.d? but, this was not a "hissy fit" of ayla's. THIS WAS A TRAUMATIC EVENT FOR AYLA OF BEING REMOVED FROM THE FAMILY SHE KNOWS AND TRUSTS . THERE IS A DIFFERENCE FROM A HISSY FIT AND BEING TRAUMATIZED BY BEING PHYSICALLY REMOVED FROM YOUR FAMILY.
ms.p all my own opinion
I agree with your opinion ms.p!

ReplyDeleteI was a child given up by my mom who couldn't care for me. I was placed in several homes and the place I felt the most comfortable was the worst place simply because there was other kids there. Its natural to feel apprehensive when you go somewhere new even if you know where your going. Its scary not knowing if your going to be safe or loved but its scarier losing whats familiar even if familiar is bad.
DeleteAyla had been in Justin's life since she was 7 months old. The amount of time and phone calls he had with her are being told to you by one side. However suffice it to say she was certainly with him enough that she was not frightened to go with him. So why would she have been so traumatized that day? I will allow that if an officer had to hand her over perhaps or the aunt was not cooperating? But then who's fault is that? It was after all what had been agreed upon between mother and father. And why wouldn't the father have that time with her? He had been having her with him. So why would it not make sense that he the father would be the one to take care of his daughter when her mom could not?
DeleteI have grandchildren who I love very much and they love me and we see each other 3/4 times a week. There have been times when I have gone to pick one of them up to bring to my house for the night as thier parents were going away..They didnt want to leave..and they have thrown a hissy fit..which subsided by the time I got them in thier car seat..and then they threw another one when the parents came to take them from me..Now if the ADULTS were not conducting themselves in the best interest of the child then absolutely the child would of sensed the fear and been afraid..
Deletems.peridot19
Deletei think the point is that justin did not see ayla 3/4 times a week. hence trauma for ayla to be removed. (this is my own opinion.) not having just a little hissy fit or being emotional. again the point is justin was not regularly seeing ayla. not even comparable to this grandparent situation where there is a very *established* *ongoing* relationship. in a well established relationship the child would adjust to whatever they had to, if they already had a built up trust with that adult.
and yes i am sure the adults were upset. it is very upsetting to hand over a child to someone else when you believe you are in charge of taking care of her for your sister and for your daughter. that does not mean jessica or becca acted inappropriately or irresponsibly. as a matter of fact it takes most parents (in this case the acting or filling in for mom) time to trust others with their children for heavens sake. for example a babysitter or a day care worker and this was not i am going out to dinner or to work and will be back after a few hours type situation. justin had NOT established trust yet for just taking ayla for days. (i am not talking about the law, i am talking about working out what is best for his daughter by establishing a co-parenting situation, if that was what he wanted.)
did justin ever try to work out a visitation schedule with trista? i am asking all those who defend/represent justin, did justin ever even try? if justin had tried to and could not get trista to work with him, justin could have gone to court and worked out a visitation schedule that way. then when a situation arose like this, the family (and yes including ayla would be more comfortable) would all have been sure that ayla would be alright in justin's care.
there are adult ways and decent ways of handling this type of situation. and justin pulling rank when mom was temporarily away shows his lack of decency. and in my mind it is downright suspicious. in my mind this was not about ayla when he did this. this was about justin. (again, this is my opinion.)
ms. p all my own thoughts and opinions
ms.peridot19
Deleteand if ayla really had been a regular part of justin's life, justin's people would be saying it and screaming it alllll over the internet! (and you all know it!) and no i do not include all the anonymouses. all it would take is a named person to tell the world how often justin says he had been with ayla.
gosh forbid, should justin himself straighten out a few facts. (i guess trista is capable of making justin cry, or pee his pants or something??? or why can't justin tell his side?) saying how much time he had spent with his daughter would have no bearing on the investigation? if trista so misrepresents everything, it would really be quite simple for justin to tell a reporter justin's truth. go ahead justin, tell your side to the public one time! so yes i believe trista. she is the only one who talks about ayla.
and again, any normal person taking care of a niece/grandaughter while the child's mother is temporarily away would think it wrong to just hand over a child to a father who had only seen the child a few times. come on - some of you must live in la la land if you cannot see why they would be concerned. and especially in this case if they were wondering at this point about how well justin was taking care of ayla when he did have ayla. so with that even all the more concerning to hand ayla over.
this is all just heartbreaking. personally i have thought that trista and her family have been more respectful of justin than i ever could in the same situation. broken bone, and bruises and missed doctor appointments and then a missing child!
trista should not even have to call justin. justin should be calling trista up and telling her what he is doing to find ayla. ayla went missing from his care and his home. justin should be calling trista up just to see if she has any ideas on what he could do or they could do to help find ayla. he should be communicating and working with the mother of his child!!!
ms. p all my own thoughts and opinions
Very well said ms.p
DeleteJessica Reynolds didn't want to give ayla back to the police and refused to open her door. There must have been a lot of shouting from her, so why would Ayla not be upset ? Why were her first two children taken away from her and placed in foster care, but she can take care of Ayla ??? Why is the stepdad so desperate to say Ayla was abducted when Trista said herself (her own words) that she had agreed with Justin that Ayla would be in her care while she is in rehab ? A lot of inconsistencies...
ReplyDeleteI correct the 12.10 pm statement : she had agreed with Justin that Ayla would be in his care while she is in rehab
DeleteIn what news report, story, article etc did you see that Jessica refused to open the door, Phoebe was present, the yelling back and forth through the door,etc? I have not seen this reported anywhere. Do you know the involved parties directly to make your statements factual or are you just embellishing to get your point across? I live outside the state of Maine so I am at a disadvantage when it comes to getting recent news articles. Can you help me with locating this new information?
DeleteIt was a news release on tv from December, which was in Lewiston and speaking about Jessica refusing to open her door to the police to give back Ayla. This news was even the cause of a false rumor that the police had found Ayla with her aunt.
DeleteThank You. I am originally from Lewiston, grew up on Bates Street just of the city Park. I left though in 82 and only go back to visit family. I know how bad the Sun Journal can be in Lewiston. But let me ask you this, if the Sun was so far off that it was the cause of the rumor , what makes thier reporting of the events so accurate? Hope this makes sense the way it is worded.
DeleteJohn, it was on tv in December, I've been looking for it for half an hour, if somebody finds the link, please post it. While the police went to get Ayla, Justin waited downstairs, this is what I read. I'll keep looking for this and if I find it I will post it.
DeleteThe TV release didn't cause the rumor, it's the people on the internet who spread it, somebody must have misunderstood what was said on tv, or maybe somebody thought that as Jessica Reynolds (who was apparently with Becca Reynolds when the police came) didn't want to give back Ayla, Ayla would probably be hidden with Jessica Reynolds and started the rumor !
Delete1) I have a call to Jessica for verification, but I'm told that the kids had just had a bath and that they were going to sleep when they police entered the bedroom..
Delete2) I cannot comment on Jessica's kids.
3) Re-read JustStop's postings of my e-mails again.. desperate is your word, pissed is mine..
4) Trista had no choice in the matter read "Ayla's Timeline" http://www.aylareynolds.com/photos/aylas_timeline.pdf
..and just a thought.. Why are most people who post here "Anonymous", is their no accountability? at least make up a name so we have some reference..
These people have set the bar: MissingNMaine (KJ), John Pomerleau, VoiceOfReason, Seeking TRUTH (aka JustStop), Jennifer C. We appreciate and listen to what they have to say.
Jeff, please please, don't fall for the FAKE niceness being portrayed here. You know very well how this blog started out. It was far from nice. Please. There are so many honest caring people who wish nothing but justice to be served for Ayla AND Trista. I'm so sorry, I don't think justice for Ayla was/is this blog's intention. The original intention was something far worse than simply not being nice.
DeleteI wish peace and justice for Ayla, Trista and her entire family. Please stay strong and don't fall for whatever is happening here.
There are so many anonymous comments because of the blog owner and her/his original actions. I think most people do not want to be associated with this blog. If you were able to view the comments from the very begining, 99% of comments were defending Trista AGAINST this blog.
I pray every day for Ayla to be reunited with her loving Mommy. Ayla and Trista deserve nothing less. Please stay strong Trista. Please don't allow others negativity to bring you down. Stay strong for Ayla and her brother. You did the right thing to better your childrens lives, don't let anyone else make you think otherwise. I pray for precious, beautiful Baby Ayla to be served the respect, peace and justice she deserves.
Trista and I have read your comments and we appreciate the heads up, we will wait and see where seeking TRUTH is taking this forum... and thank you for your concerns and prayers. Jeff/Trista
DeleteJeff and Trista,
DeleteI'm a college student living in Canada and I have no children but something about this case touched home for me and I've been following it ever since.
Very few people believe that Justin and his family is innocent. I think it's safe to say that anyone who does is very illogical and irrational. You only have to take a few simple facts into consideration before coming to the realization that someone inside of the DiPietro house did something to or with Ayla.
My heart goes out to you. I wish more than anything for Ayla to be returned to Trista but I somehow don't think that will happen.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you KJ. It was probably a very scary situation for a child. Ayla was handed over to Justin for visits prior to that and we haven't heard any reports of her kicking and screaming then. I think it was that particular day and the hostile environment. I think Jessica was to fault for that.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very logical thought process. I have to agree with your reasoning for this particular comment.
DeleteSome people could say the police were also partly to blame. They could have called Jessica and let her know they were coming to get Ayla. Given her a time and place. They could have stressed the fact that she needs to keep it peaceful, and threatened to arrest her for disorderly conduct if she did not.
DeleteLots of things in this case could have been handled differently, but when each incident occurred, nobody realized that the world would be scrutinizing it later.
And if Child Services was there as reported, they could have eliminaed alot of this fear for Ayla before hand as well. Everyone present had a hand in it and everyone shold share the blame to some extent.
DeleteFrom what I read, Justin was waiting outside
DeleteStopTheLies, any word on whether the Dipietro family or Courtney Roberts attended Ayla's vigil today?
ReplyDeleteread the thread for photos. There are some interesting posts on the thread about the vigil
DeleteYes, Justin, Elisha & Phoebe went to the vigil.
DeleteI mean Elisha & Phoebe were there - Justin & Trista weren't.
DeleteI heard that he was there but sitting in his car since he got there and had some sort of change of heart and decided to let the media focus on Ayla rather onto himself and my question is why did he not think of this before leaving his residence.
DeleteIn his car?? With a baseball bat?
DeleteYes Justin, don't let the media focus on you. We all know why THAT scares you.
I thought he was afraid to go due to threats, according to HT? Geez, these people can't keep any stories straight.
This is a perfect example of how speculation/rumors become "fact." Some anonymous person told you what they heard, not even what they saw, and you jump on it as though Maine State Police reported or confirmed it. All I can do is SMDH (shake my damn head).
DeleteI thought you were smarter than that Seeking Truth. My first 2 questions were sarcastic. It was absolutely NOT taken as fact! 3rd sentence was geared toward Justin, but sarcastic again. 4th sentence was my opinion, same opinion as most (sorry I didn't specify it was my opinion). 5th sentence was a true question. 6th sentence was again my opinion with some truth and sarcasm.
DeleteI absolutely did not take the comment as FACT, nor would I spread around such a rumor.
Do you want me to explain word for word every comment I make here?
SMDH back at ya.
I was told of Justin in his car at the vigal by a friend who read it as written by HT on her site.
DeleteI'm sure it was a tramatic situation for all involved. It didn't have to be that way though. I know my child would be kicking & screaming as well, in this kind of situation. It must have been frightening to Ayla, being taken by a strsnge police officer.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't & should not have been done that way.
It may well be that the aunt and grandmother resisted the transfer of Ayla to Justin by crying and carrying on and being all hysterical. This could be what inspired Ayla to rebel against the transfer--she took her cues from them.
DeleteJustin had attempted to get Ayla that afternoon, but the aunt Jessica refused to turn Ayla over to him. That left Justin only with the option of going back again with a police officer.
DeleteWas that reported or do you know that personally? NOT SAYING IT'S NOT TRUE, I just want to be clear. Thanks
DeleteOf course it has been reported to LE. Not everything LE knows has been released to the public....
DeleteThank you Jeff, for having a voice! Trying to clarify things that seemed "fuzzy" to people. Most importantly, thank you for having a voice for AYLA! Too bad, not her ENTIRE family maternal AND paternal feel the same.
ReplyDeleteI wish for peace AND justice for Ayla, Trista and her family. Stay strong, for AYLA!
LostNMissing Inc, a 501c3 nonprofit located in NH, and the maternal family of Ayla Reynolds will be sponsoring a Birthday Vigil for the missing toddler
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Di Pietros will attend the vigil, the maternal family will be there and have repeatedly pointed their finger to the Di Pietros from day one.
I think this moderator "Seeking Truth" was @ the vigil today.
ReplyDeleteWrong again. I'm in Texas.
DeleteI think maybe you need a t shirt that say, "I'm from Texas"... Have you tired yet of stateing that? Just Shaying :-)
DeletePlease give this pointless and useless commentary a break. I come to this sight because I get the impression people care about Ayla. Don't spoil it for the rest of us with frivolous comments like this
DeleteI have a lot of TX T-shirts, I am always representing for Texas A&M! Gig 'em!!!!!!
DeleteNo, I'm never gonna get tired of saying I'm from the great state!!! ;)
I have a cousin in Texas and he forever boasts about your state and sends beautifull photos. :-)
DeleteThat's cool, who wouldn't love it here!
DeleteThe excerpt quoted from Ayla's timeline is not the same as what was posted on the website. Why did he change it. I'm not saying Ayla wasn't upset, but why wouldn't Trista have mentioned that when she first spoke of Justin going to get Ayla? Then the timeline came out and said Ayla was kicking and screaming. Now Jeff "quotes" the timeline and the wording has changed, and Ayla is now biting and the officer makes a comment to Becky. How do people expect to be believed when their story is always changing?
ReplyDeleteI was only quoting part of Ayla's Timeline (What is it with you guys and "story always changing" theme)? There was a lot of information that we edited (my brother and I) out of the Timeline that was not pertinent at the time. I was offering you a few more details about the night that Ayla was "abducted" from Jessica.. But if the Anonymous-es of this blog would like me to stick to the story.. Then I have nothing more to offer you. Jeff
ReplyDeleteJeff, I truly believe that you are doing a good thing. Trista's side of the family has my thoughts and prayers...the other side has my prayers that they will just tell the truth! Hey Courtney, Justin, Elisha: WHERE'S AYLA?? Let that little baby girl have a proper resting place, already!!!
ReplyDeleteThis isn't Ayla's timeline. It's a rendering of small skirmishes between parents at war for full custody. Rat-a-tat and tit-for-tat. Trista covertly planned to gain full custody - surprise attack. Like so many mothers, Trista underestimated Justin's ability to sense her actions and counter with his own agenda - full custody - making liberal use of the silent treatment.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff can be found on any street, any town, any state, USA. I haven't researched the child custody laws practiced in Maine. Some states make parenting rights and rules confounding and unjust. Some parents become so entangled in the custody legal battle that they feel imprisoned by their state of residence. Some battling parents are terrified of losing a job or having to move. One loses advantage by any instability, even though the circumstances are out of their control. It doesn't take something that traumatic to lose your parental rights - even though you fed, clothed, housed, loved that child by yourself, with an occasional trip to McDonalds from the significant other.
Here's a suggestion...
Relabel the PDF - 'Justin and Trista's Partial Timeline'. Think about a young couple struggling with this desperate situation now. Everyone knows at least one couple fighting over custody - there's so many. Think about how each parent has received advice from friends, family, neighbors, and government agency workers. Review the procedures for family court in your state. Once you're educated, you tell us... What can we do to make all custody situations better for our children and grandchildren?
posted by pogamen
Trista filed for parental rights and responsibilities, not sole custody.
ReplyDeleteAyla's Timeline needed a title, not a definition.. I cannot relabel it now, you will say we are "changing the story".
Your opinions (from my point of view) are apathetic and generalizing, I can only assume that you have little experience in matters of the heart .. or the heart breaks.. It's not a perfect world, and I'm not going to make one for you.
