Cynthia Caron is president and founder of LostNMissing, a nonprofit organization that advocates for the families of missing persons. Caron is providing assistance for Ayla's mother, Trista Reynolds.
Caron said the best use for social media in this case is distributing posters, not gossip.
"I really believe that if someone genuinely wants to help, then the best way to help is to keep posting posters. Get the posters out there," she said.
If someone feels compelled to make a Facebook site, then they should follow some guidelines, Caron said.
"Make it so there are no comments," she said. "It should be specifically set up for news, media releases and posters of the person that's missing or pictures or videos."
"The problem (with social media) is when people come up with their own theories and gossip," Caron said. "They're not thinking of the families. That's extremely hurtful. This is not a TV show for them. It's not a blog or forum or a computer screen. This is real life. They are literally going to bed every night without knowing where on earth their child is. This is real for them and it does not help when there's so much going on to have gossip."
How does it work when the family is at the center of the theories and gossip? How do you advise a family, Cynthia, that has not hung any posters but has plenty of time to perpetuate rumors?
Also, Cynthia, you wouldn't happen to be offering up your own theories and gossip would you? I could swear that you are also known as Lavonda Dolce, on a certain website. Your theories and gossip seemed to change when you were picked by one side of the family to "represent" them.

| General Dynamics Cynthia, I have to ask again, why you are allowing your "client" to spread rumors and circulate falsehoods? Why did you join in on doing the opposite of what you preach? Aren't you supposed to be advocating for them, telling them the best ways to go about finding Ayla? After seeing some of the things you have posted online, I can only conclude that your professionalism and tact are also "Lost and Missing." |
The enlarge link oly takes one to the very first post and not the rest Obscure. Im tired and goin to bed.Great posts btw.
ReplyDeleteMost excellent post!!!
ReplyDeleteYes excellent question, how does it work when the family has it's own website for theories and gossip? Purposes accusations, and defames family members of the missing child?
As well as, contributes to other blogs that offer nothing but gossip, theories, and scenairos of how the missing child was murdered. Not to mention defaming inuindoes of family members of the missing child. Uses photo's of the missing child with hurtful inuindo writen on them.
Aids in another blog that is purely for vindictive reasons.
As far as I'm concerned Jeff's website is nothing but Accusations For Ayla, and that is the sadest thing of all. Jeff is her grandfather for God sake. Poor Ayla, my heart aches for her.
As far as Lavonda Dolce, I saw all her comments in real time. She did her share of gossip, and her tone changesd a lot, umm, quite a lot, after LNM started working with Trista.
She also continued commenting after LNM started working with Trista and I felt that was VERY wrong.
"Accusations for Ayla" that's exactly what that site is, and should be called. I haven't seen all of Lavonda Dolce's comments, but I'm sure you're right!
DeleteWhere is that pesky Laura Recovery Center representative anyway? We should be hearing about all the wonderful things Justin is doing with them like he said on the news! Remember, that big bad story where he said he was doing all he could! Oh... wait.. that's right, they never heard from him again after that day. Hmmm..... lies lies lies. THINK people. Use your brains.
DeleteWhat are you talking about silly rabbit? Justin chose to work with a different team. Why is that a problem? A team that has so far gotten more done then the other two recovery centers put together.
DeleteTrix, the only problem is that he continued to pass himself off as working with that organization (until he was outed), and most of the people around him stated he did as well. IN fact, that seemed to be everyone's battle cry on his behalf. If you are referring to TTLOM, they have in fact done a great job for Ayla, but I am sorry I am not buying that Justin is working as hard with anyone as everyone else is working for him. Have you asked yourself why?
DeleteHe did not "pass himself off as working with them". And you are right TTLLOM is doing a great job. And Justin is working with them and so is his family. Do not have to ask myself why. I know the answer is that he is and they are. You do not have to buy anything.
DeleteSillyRabbit: thank you for your prime example.
DeleteFolks reading: that is the sum total of all of the lies they put out as fact. It is nothing more than an opinion based on their own assumptions.
Silly rabbit... care to substantiate that claim? I find it very telling that you all went to great lengths telling everyone that the group that formed in support of finding Ayla called This little light of Maine was 100% a Dipietro mouthpiece. Until you realized how much they were doing to spread awareness. To find Ayla. Suddenly you're doing all you can to put distance between justin and them. Interesting.
Soooo, what representative is Justin working with now if he is no longer affiliated with the Laura Recovery Center? Or maybe I should I ask what organization is assisting Justin in finding Ayla?
DeleteCynthia Caron of LostNMissing is a class act. Cynthia has absolutely nothing to explain to you or anyone else. She is a victim's advocate, ans she has tirelessly worked to bring awareness to our nation's missing children. I find it humorous to read the person's rants on this blog, but I certainly don't take anything that the administrator, (if you can call her that), seriously. It actually speaks volumes that Cynthia Caron is a victim's advocate for Trista Reynolds and her family. This blog posting really confirms for me the tactlessness of the person who writes this blog. Wow, your tactics are beyond low class to say the least.
ReplyDeleteI agrre that Cynthia works very hard to bring awareness to our nations missing children. I applaud L N M. However, there is nothing in the above post that is untrue.
DeleteIt is very telling that LNM is a victims advocate for
Deletetrista and her family. Doesnt even mention the victim, AYLA.
Anon do you not think that the mother of a child who has been taken away from her is a victim? I am certain if Ayla had "gone missing" on Trista's watch, you would consider Justin a victim. This is a severely low blow to actually attack an organization whose sole purpose to assist families who lives have been torn apart with grief. Honestly, I didn't know it could get quite this low...even over here. Is this what happens when people get backed into a corner? Yes, I guess so.
DeleteCynthia Caron is an honorable person, and she reached her conclusions about Justin's probable involvement in Ayla's disappearance prior to her working with Trista Reynolds and her family. She also has access to information that the general public does not. Note that the most recent comment posted here by "Lavonda Dolce" was January 13, 2012. Some of the comments left out here were the ones in which she stated, (paraphrased), that she wanted Trista to be the one responsible for Ayla's disappearance because it would mean that Ayla was still alive. I stand by my original comment. This latest blog posting is tactless to say the least.
ReplyDeleteAnon, why is your IP address the same as the commenter below you? O__o
DeleteAnon- that's not true. Cynthia Caron mentioned that she believed Justin was innocent AFTER already being involved with Trista's family. After the statement about blood evidence was released she decided that Justin was guilty. End of story. She could refute that but she would be lying. It is exactly what she said.
Delete"Anon, why is your IP address the same as the commenter below you? O__o". Clarify this comment, please. Who are you trying to suggest that I am? What does O__o mean?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteA. I am not a member of WS, so I have violated no terms of service. The information regarding what I perceive to be flip flops and a lack of professionalism was forwarded to me. You were not clarifying rumors, you have no idea that Justin passed his polygraph. You were speculating about motive; again, how is that clearing up rumors? Your clients have started more than one rumor, I have not seen you comment any where to clear those up.
DeleteB. You were in fact posting things from a different perspective before you became involved in the case. That is a FACT, verifiable by reviewing the posts above.
C. You say people forming their own theories is a problem, but that does not apply to you? Are you a law enforcement official? A lawyer? A judge? What are credentials do you possess that make your "theories" any more helpful than the next person's?
D. Why would Justin work with your organization when you have not been objective in this case? Again, your lack of objectivity and professionalism is apparent in your various online outlets. And if Trista's family was the only one participating in the effort, then you lied when you said both families were working together to bring Ayla home. If you need a link to that quote, by you, I will certainly find it for you.
E. You can stand behind that statement, but when you engage in the very same behavior that you discourage, you look like a hypocrite. You look very unprofessional, biased, and not like the type of agency a family would consider in their utmost time of need. The only victim here is Ayla, and for you and anyone else to say anything to the contrary is simply wrong.
Thank you for replying respectfully, I have tried to do the same.
JSTL, you are such a nut job. Wow.
DeleteLNM,
Delete# A. "Surprised you would find that "VERY WRONG." ??? If it were your family, would you not want your advocate to clarify malicious rumors especially in your time of trauma? I would hope so."
I'm going to address this since I made a comment that I found it VERY wrong that you continued to comment on this case, on a public website, after you were involved in it.
No I don't believe that I would want an advocate for me that had been making comments on a public website about the case.
Why? Look what has happened.
I understand that you began commenting before being involved in this case. However you did continue to comment after being involved. I don't remember every comment, but can not remember one malicious rumor that you corrected in this case. (on WS)
I feel that someone in your profession, working with the family involved, would have reframed from making any further comments at all about the case.
Cynthia Caron:
DeleteAs a member, I remember your comments and contributions on Websleuths with absolute clarity, and as I stated above-you are a class act. I know that you are not just a victim's advocate; you are a missing person's advocate first and foremost. I do not know the individual who writes this blog, but I sincerely feel that it is unfortunate that you had to waste your time and energy posting here. Good luck to you and Trista's family in bring Ayla home to her mother where she belongs.

ReplyDeleteIt's honorable for you to correct misinformation here, and I hope you make an effort to do the same on other sites. You could start by correcting some of the misinformation that you, yourself, have posted.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThanks for weighing in again. I do not know how often you post, and I don't really care to know. The person who sent me the screenshots had one thing right---you are obviously super defensive about this case for some reason. I wonder why...but if your posts above were prior to the direct involvement with the Reynolds Klan, how can you deny that your perspective changed? lol
DeleteI asked what/how, because I want to know what/how. I did not take the information and run with it, I asked clarifying questions. You know, to make sure I'm not spreading rumors and inaccuracies like a certain founder of an objective organization for victims and families. *ahem*
I'm done as well, I'm running late and now I have 14 minutes to make it to work!!!! ahhhh....
LNM said "I wrote my opinion, or hypothesis, of what could have happened at Justin's lie detector test. I did not in any way state anything factual of his results, nor Trista's, as nobody except the police hold that information. Not even those who took the test."
DeleteSo, Justin doesn't actually know how he did on the polygraph, nor does Elisha. How is it they are expected to answer about how they did?
Really?,
DeleteVery good point.
LNM says in the samne comment that she has never posted any misimformation, so that must be correct. Justin nor Elisha know how they did on their polygraph's.
MSP confirmed that Justin indeed knew the results of his. I don't know about ED and don't really care but I love that you all state rumors as truth and rearrange any truth to fit your needs. ALL THESE BLOGS ARE THE SAME!!
DeleteAnon, Lost N Missing is not an anonymous poster. They know the system.
DeleteThe Caron's are related to the Hanson's.
ReplyDeleteWHAT???? HOW???
DeleteI would love to know the connection
DeleteNo connection. Can't believe everything you read.
DeleteCheck out the family tree
DeleteCan you clarify how the Carons are related to the Hansons ?
DeleteCynthia Caron's statement that she believes there should be no comments on facebook pages apparently does not apply to her. Because she has told people in personal conversations the opposite. That "although she does like it she does go on the blogs with alias to fight her clients battles for them."
ReplyDeleteI 100% believe this. Not to be rude, and I don't know her, but she seems like the type.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThere is already a missing poster of Ayla on here. Nice try though. I know it sucks to be called out, but being honest would be the best course of action. I'm not a victim's advocate by trade, but I do know that lying and deceiving will get you nowhere.
DeleteYou were not providing clarification in the above posts, you were speculating just like anyone else.
Glad I'm not your child, but I wonder how your own mother would feel about the BS you spew and call "clarifications or squashing rumors."
Good day!
Cynthia Caron you are a liar you have said with your own mouth that you DO fight your clients battles for them on blogs when necessary and you use alias to do so.
DeleteI don't know about Facebook pages, but I have seen some negative comments about a family member of Ayla's writen by Lavonda Dolce. Although that was BEFORE she started working with Ayla'a maternal family.
DeleteObscure! Thanks for posting all the relevant responses that I second. I think you got all of them.
Delete@LNM, Inc...
You raise yourself up above all others? Too much competition? Are the anti-rumor campaigns not as equally malicious? Do victim's advocates see clearly, divine providence, or simply rely on good old-fashioned tongue-in-jowl guesswork? Or do you get a gut feeling? Can you solve a logic puzzle in a crossword puzzle book?
'''''''''''
About that logic puzzle...
Here is the solution, based on what's not...
Soon after the lights were turned off, the child's mother entered the home through an unlocked door. To successfully complete all necessary maneuvers, she had anticipated the need for a third hand. Thus, she involved a family member. The two intruders tiptoed into the child's room. The mother removed her clothing and proceeded to push the child back into her uterus. The third hand was required to muffle the mother's screams. Blood was everywhere. The mother was distressed because there was no room for the child's belongings, so they had to be left.
,,,,,,,,,,
LNM, that is what your social advocacy does to facts in an online community. A family/advocate relationship makes your efforts even more suspicious.
LNM, I never required services such as yours. I was shown what would happen to my oldest son when he was young. I took that vision quite seriously. There was so much that was beyond belief, but I couldn't risk shrugging it off. When that day came, all the things that seemed impossible were real and logical. When that day came, it had a happy ending. My son came inside the house and told me about the man that he was talking to. I was down on one knee, for Peter's sake, in the next breath.
LNM, why don't you stay and pog awhile on this site. These people will straighten your face for you. In Maine, it seems to be an important test to pass. I'm in Alaska. Here, some of those misshapen faces are due to a look of 'rictus'. Sounds that seem to be laughter are understood to be wails and fits, verging on a nervous breakdown. Note to self - study for straight face test before visiting Maine. Note to self - don't visit Maine.

DeleteI would imagine that if someone were called out for being disingenuous, then the appropriate thing to do would be to respectfully accept being caught, learn from it and move on.
ReplyDeleteLack of acknowledgement of mistakes made makes a person look irresponsible, and in certain lines of work I suppose that makes a person look less respectable, inaccurate and biased, amongst other things.
Exactly!
DeleteLucifersHand,
DeleteI think you summed it up in an appropriate and respecctful way.
I agree.
How did you reach the conclusion that Lavonda Dolce is Cynthia Caron? I am just wondering as this entire feed is based on saying the comments made by her belong to the LNM advocate.....
ReplyDeleteLOL She never denied being Lavonda Dolce. Do you require more proof than her own words?
DeleteShe did provide proof, I believe, on WS site. Anyway she let them know she was legit! LOL
DeleteShe also had a comment on Trista's timline. I looked for it a couple of weeks age, but didn't find it. It is interesting! Apparently, all her info comes from Trista, and she states it as fact. She acts as if she has insider information! The police tell her everything that is going on in their investigation. She comes and goes with snippets and never will answer anyone's question as to how she knows what she does. She "poof" disappears!
Look for the timeline info, I will too. It says they (Trista, Jeff) were keeping info on the internet, about abuse to Ayla. It was stored on the internet just in case their computer crashed, then they would have no record! They never thought to write it down, or copy to a CD or flash drive (Jeff is illiterate when it comes to computer stuff). They saved it on the internet (who was paying for it?). Jeff forgot to check the box so nobody else could see it!!! The timeline was never put out for everybodyy to see! But somebody found it!!! But hey, the timeline has very few dates. You are documenting events but you don't have a date? It is all very fishy. signed: getrealpeople
Those under age 17, and missing, we will do a courtesy banner and posting on our website and social networking sites. We do not provide events or searches for minors. We ask that the family contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children - That quote comes from the home page of the LNM website, signed by Ms Caron. My primary question is Why would a family go to a group that is to find missing adults and says they only give courtesy space to missing children? Much has been touted on the J4A blog about how Trista is working with this group. Seems to me that it is just so she/they can say they are workign with a group. Otherwise why not go to the Center for MIssing and Exploited Children? There has been much negative commenting on Justin working with TLLOM, including whether or not they are a charitable organization per tax law. I would like to question Trista's motive of choosing LNM and the Laura Recovery Center (think I have the name right), which seems to focus on children taken wrongfully by noncustodial parents - or at least cases that can be made to seem that way. Are we all looking to much inside the box? Why no pullin the big guns, as it were, to find this baby?

DeleteGreat questions! While we're at it, let's ask Ms. Caron why her organization gives clout to a 14 yr old boy who writes a blog accusing Justin of murder and bashing Justin and his family. I'm very curious about that. Why is her organization patting the back of a teenager for bad behavior and involvement in something that is not appropriate for him? Hanging flyers or holding a bake sale is one thing, writing a damaging blog and producing damaging videos and interacting with criminals is totally inappropriate. If Ms. Caron would like an example of some kids who are working their hearts out appropriately for Ayla, I can introduce her to some. On second thought.... I don't want my kids or any that I know around the kind of people who think what the Reynolds and their supporters are doing is ok. Questionable characters are not welcome around here.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteInteresting that some things were removed from Adanm's blog. Someone must concur that not everything was appropriate.
DeleteI was not replying to YOUR questions, Cynthia. I was replying to the post above you and in moderation there is a delay. How nice that you read only one blog post put up by Adam. I stand by my judgement on his blog. You may continue to bury your head in the sand if you wish. This case is very unique in lots of ways. I have done extensive research on all the organizations and groups involved with the parents and I will tell you right now that the one group that you are poo-pooing has done more than any other with very little experience but lots of heart and try. They have also managed to do the same thing for a few other missing children while they have been advocating for Ayla and they are the only group/organization that has continued from day one to push for people to look for a LIVE Ayla. They have NEVER insinuated or supported any view that even slightly suggests that Ayla is dead. They have incredible resolve. That may be why Justin chose to work with them. If LE is giving out the impression that Ayla can only be found in rivers and ditches, maybe an organization that doesn't take LE's word as gospel and is willing to believe him on the chance that he is being truthful is a better choice. It certainly doesn't hurt Ayla to have these people pushing so hard in their efforts to find her and generate tips by creating awareness. As for my reference to "here", I was speaking generally. As in, where the exceptional youth that I know, who are working hard for Ayla, are. The difference between them and your "remarkable" blogging teenager is that they don't need the fame and pat on the head for it. They will just keep working silently, like the members of TLLOM, and wait for the day that they get to celebrate Ayla's homecoming. It's going to be a glorious day. Note to your Board of Directors; I would question the ethics of recent behavior and words coming from Ms. Caron.
DeleteCynthia
DeleteAs a member of TLLOM I must say I am absolutely appalled with what you had to say. Yes we are an organization just starting out, yes we do not have ties to law enforcement, yes we do not have funding or the backing of organizations such as LRC or NCMEC but we do have one thing. We have the belief that Ayla is still alive and deserves to have people on her side looking for her and not taking NO for an answer. We have invested a lot of our own money and time into raising awareness for Ayla and keeping her name out there. We do not look for recognition or praise, we do not want it, we want Ayla home with her family where she belongs. Both sides of her family.
When you first started your organization wasn't it because you walked into a Walmart and saw the wall of the missing people? Did you not start without backing, without knowing exactly what to do, where to start. Just knowing you needed to help spread the missing's names and faces out there? Why would you say anything about a group of people try to spread awareness about missing people? People willing to do whatever they can to find a missing person and also working to find others by creating awareness. You do not know us you do not know anything about us, you only hear what are rumors and then you pass judgement.
You yourself have issued a public statement on Google+ that says you believe her paternal family did something to her. How is that advocating for a LIVE Ayla, how does that keep people looking for her? Below is the statement you posted how does that help Ayla?
Cynthia Caron - Jan 30, 2012 - Public
Ayla Reynolds, your mommy loves you tremendously. Her heart is breaking. All she wants is to hug you and bring you home. There are people standing in the way from telling the truth. Our prayers that if something happened to you, and you are in heaven's care, that SOMEONE will come forward and tell the truth. Your mom deserves to know. Your baby brother deserves to know along with the rest of your maternal family. I'm sorry I cannot, at this time, write that your paternal family needs to know because the odds are they already do. Will they come forward with the needed information? How can 3 adults, all who have children of their own, not be able to tell the truth? Do they know that the Maine State Police may grant immunity to the FIRST who steps up and tells what happened? Do they know if none of them do....they ALL will more than probably be charged? Do they know that a higher power exists that they have to answer to? If this was an accident, why haven't they come forward by now? This leads all to the unimaginable horror that it was not an accident. Is THAT what the DiPietro family wants the public to think? That this beautiful child's life was purposely taken? WHO IS GOING TO STEP UP AND TALK? Who?
Cynthia, I sincerely hope you are not referring to yourself as "the big guns". Surely, a group that can get more than 70 billboards put up for Ayla and other missing children in less than two months and cover hundreds of bus stations across the country with flyers for Ayla and Lisa and still find a way to distribute thousands of awareness items across the country and Canada, including flyers in Canada, all without being allowed to raise funds can be considered "big guns". Thanks for serving the cake though while they were busy working with Justin to plaster Ayla's face and name along with Lisa's and Isabel's all over the northern part of the continent.
DeleteLooking At The Facts
DeleteThank you for your post! TLLOM, you are wonderful people, working for Ayla.
Cynthia has shown her true colors. I do hope people see her deception, and contradictory remarks.
May I also add, Laura Recovery Center, has never confirmed her remarks. They appear to be truly involved in finding missing children, unlike Cynthia, who jumps on the bandwagon and spreads gossip and unfounded vile remarks.

Our only goal is to get these babies home. We have one goal and one goal only get these babies home. I do appreciate all your comments you help so much getting the truth out there thank you for all you do.
LNM,
ReplyDeleteHere's my problem, you seem not to follow the "good advise" that you offer, why is that?
"If someone feels compelled to make a Facebook site, then they should follow some guidelines, Caron said.
"Make it so there are no comments. It should be specifically set up for news, media releases and posters of the person that's missing or pictures or videos
The problem (with social media) is when people come up with their own theories and gossip, They're not thinking of the families. That's extremely hurtful. This is not a TV show for them. It's not a blog or forum or a computer screen. This is real life. They are literally going to bed every night without knowing where on earth their child is. This is real for them and it does not help when there's so much going on to have gossip."
IMO, that's fantastic advise. Yet you and your organization doesn't follow it. I'm at a loss to understand that. For me it's not about Justin or TLLOM, it's about your organization's professionalism.
I happen to agree with the above poster as well, concerning the young 14 year old, and the type of blog he maintains, which your organization supports. I'm sorry, but I don't think it reflects well on your organization, or on our young people.
I give the young man a lot of credit for his care, concern, and compassion. I just wish he would have had different direction.
I completely agree. Cynthia needs to at least appear to be unbiased. By telling what she thinks based on meeting one side of the equation, she's displaying a complete lack of professionalism. I've met Justin & his family/close friends, and I believe he's been telling the truth. Perhaps she should meet him before passing judgment so harshly, especially given her position.
DeleteCynthia, how many times are you going to say you are done, but yet keep posting. You are wrong for saying the things you do about Justin and his family. You are showing bias, which does not show credibility towards your organization. If you truly believe the purpose for your organization you would not make derogatory statements, or accusations about either side.
ReplyDeleteJust because you think Trista is being honest, does not make it so. You thought Justin was being honest at one time, and now suddenly he’s lying since you got to know Trista?
You have let me know, and I’m sure many others, that your organization is a farce. “The problem (with social media) is when people come up with their own theories and gossip," Caron said. "They're not thinking of the families. That's extremely hurtful. This is not a TV show for them. It's not a blog or forum or a computer screen. This is real life.” Yet you also state, “Why is Justin "working with" an "organization" that has no access or accountability with law enforcement? Why is he not "pulling out the big guns?" Fact is, he was linked with the LRC and he chose to not work with them, to not respond to their calls and follow up.” Why do you feel the need to attack Justin, or any group that is getting Ayla‘s face out to the public? How does putting up billboards, making buttons and t-shirts relate to accountability with LE? What access do you have with LE, they tell you everything, yeah right.
Again, why are you attacking Justin? Why is it you are taking sides? Keep your theories and gossip to yourself!!! Ms President and Founder of LNM, you are a disgrace to your organization!!!
Signed: getrealpeople
Standing up applauding getrealpeople Someone needs to let the members of this organization know their president is bias and showing support for one side o a family publicly Proof is on Google+ (I have the screen shot so do not try to delete)No one has been charged no one is a person of interest.. Don't worry LNM I would never ask for your help
DeleteAs far as I can see, the only people looking for a live Ayla and trying to bring her home to her family are the folks at This Little Light Of Maine, which includes Justin and the DiPietro family. The Reynolds family and the other organizations are too busy trying to convince people that Ayla is dead to be doing much of anything for a living Ayla.
ReplyDeleteHmmm,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading Cynthia's comment from January 30th 2012, it appears that Cynthia may not pass the Straight Face Test.
I want to Thank you Obscure. I stated out feeling that this was a very good post, and as it unfolded, I find that I appreciate it more. I have learned a few things. I always appreciate the opportuntiy to learn.
ReplyDeleteI do not need to have to defend myself or my organization. We are an outstanding group and if you folks have a problem that Trista has representation from us, the LRC and the NCMEC...then the problems are yours, not mine. Not a one of you has ever experienced the loss of a child so you cannot begin to compare what you would do. Ever. Not even can I. I can only be there to support and help them. Yes, I removed my comments as this is a waste of time and energy. And to TLLOM, I commend you on your work. My post was not meant to, by any means, insinuate that you are not doing a good job...we spoke on the phone a few times and you can certainly understand how folks like these can bait and create malicious havoc. My purpose in even bringing up TLLOM was due to an anonymous poster that state people talk of TLLOM due to non tax exempt. My point was to convey that is not what I've seen transpire. It is because Justin discontinued working with an org that had ties to law enforcement with the ability to do search and rescue and opted for one that does not. For that, I apologize my words were not clear in what I was trying to convey....and this is my last post. I removed the others as I am no longer interested in trying to explain anything to anyone here. I do not need nor have to.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Cynthia, I don't appreciate the sweeping generalizations that some people seem prone to. Such as "if you folks have a problem that Trista has representation from us" - we are not all one unit, despite rumors of the contrary. I don't have a problem with it. The more people working to find Ayla the better. I also feel that "Not a one of you has ever experienced the loss of a child so you cannot begin to compare what you would do. Ever." is a HUGE assumption. You do not know that. "If you have not experienced the loss of a child you cannot realistically begin to compare what you would do."
DeleteI would imagine that a job such as yours (not sure if you get paid for what you do or if it's done solely as a volunteer) is somewhat similar in nature to that of a counselor, social worker, or even a funeral director. The onus is on you to make the families feel comfortable with you and you guide them through unfamiliar territory (to them) in a kind but active way to get things done that need to be done. People want to work with who they feel a rapport and trust with. I don't know if you met Justin and his family or not, if the effort was made to establish a rapport. If it was, or if it wasn't, perhaps they simply opted to work with an organization they felt comfortable with. Plus, working with 2 organizations covers more ground than both families working with one?
