For starters, there have been multiple comments referencing the care and well being of Sarah Foxwell.
Being the "guardian" of our own Grandson, Lord knows the parents of that child aren't fit to raise them. No matter what the circumstances are on their behalf, our Grandson is extremely fortunate he has several people that love him unconditionally and would do anything to offer support.
Now I want you to know something here. Sarah's Aunt is a good woman. Better than most of you critics out there bitching and complaining about Sarah's situation. Mind you, did she make some mistakes, absolutely. When Sarah's Aunt learned who Thomas Leggs was, she immediately dumped her relationship with him, (two weeks before Sarah was taken).
Sarah's Aunt worked VERY hard to provide for not just Sarah but for SEVEN children all together. How many children are YOU raising? She is simply a LOVING Aunt who was the ONLY one in the Family willing to step up to the plate and care for everyone.
Did she have any financial gain in doing so, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Sarah's Parents are UNFIT to raise their children. You people need to stop right here and now from attacking a woman who is grieving probably more so than the biological parents of Sarah Foxwell.
One thing is for sure Folks, I know more about this case than ANY one of you. My insides are so torn out from what Thomas Leggs did to this beautiful innocent child but I also hurt inside because I happen to know that Sarah's pain is now gone and the LIVING will have to deal with this for the rest of their lives.
They don't need YOU to point a finger at them and tell them what is right and wrong here. There is a very good reason the Sheriff's Department and States Attorneys Office is refraining from telling you the details in this case, I DO NOT BLAME THEM. In fact, I have learned so much about this case and the way it was handled, one thing is for sure, until THEY tell you what they said and did throughout this case, I'll never say a word. If they never say a thing, neither will I. I have more respect right here and now for the way they handled this case than I ever did in the past. Sheriff Mike Lewis is a God Send to this community and not that I ever had any doubt about that in the past, I'm so deeply convinced of that now I simply and truly appreciate his leadership like never before.
Many have contacted me and asked me what really happened. My reply is and will continue to be, an 11 year old innocent child was murdered by a very sick man who deserves to DIE. I may not ever make that statement about another human being for the rest of my life but let me assure you, I hope this man dies. I hope they wire him up and run electricity through his body until he is dead and I hope it hurts this man with pain. However, your Governor will probably never let that happen.
Now, for those of you who believe I am a sick man for making such a statement, let me tell you this. IF they asked for a volunteer to pull the switch to make this happen, I'd be the very first in line to do so. I WILL sleep at night from that day forward without any problem whatsoever. I will deal with God when my time comes but I can assure you I would have absolutely no problem whatsoever doing so.
NOW, if you want someone to pick on, pick on me. In the mean time, leave the Family, (especially the Aunt) out of the picture. This was NOT an irresponsible woman. This woman absolutely loved and adored Sarah Foxwell and my prayers go out to her. Please place yourself in her position right now and understand that she needs more support than the biological parents. Thomas Leggs, (as well as many other sex offenders) saw a weak link and killed an innocent child. One thing I can guarantee you is, IF Sarah's Aunt was present, she would have given up her life to save any and all of those children. Let me also say this. There WAS an adult in the home when Sarah was taken. Stop spreading rumors that the children were all alone.
I'd even go so far as to say that I would personally be willing to pay for Thomas Leggs Headstone as long as I got to choose the design. It would be a very simple one, a Fire Hydrant.

Anyone who is willing to step in and take the huge responsibility of raising kids whos parents are lost has got to have one giant heart. She stood up and provided a home and a family for Sarah and her siblings when no-one else would. Is she perfect, who amongst us is. I dont think I know her, but to take on that load there must be a lot of good inside her.
Well Said! I know for sure God will settle the score!
Well said Joe. Someone had to put this to rest.
Also, the fire hydrant idea sounds like a plan. Perhaps he could be fit with one as a helmet as well.
Thanks Joe for clearing up some of the rumors(and there are a lot of them). I know that everyone was wondering what was going on with the family. As for the Aunt, she had to be a good person to take in so many children born to the bio-mom who seems, by all accounts, to be unfit. I think the community has wondered why we have not heard from the family. I truly hope the details never come out, I just do not want to know. Thanks again Joe for your diligent efforts to keep this community informed.
Right on target!!
Thank you!
Very well said, Joe.
Thank you Joe. I have reserved my judgement of the family because I don't know all the facts. I have read all the comments and people have been very nasty to this family. I have continued to pray for this family despite all that has been said. I have watched Sheriff Lewis and got the impression that he only has compassion for this family. Please have the compassion for this family that they deserve at this time. They have lost a child that they knew and loved. Please do not go to any services for Sarah if you can't show this family respect and compassion.
You have my respect Joe. Thanks!
We have never heard that a parent was in the house from anywhere except the blog. If this is true, and, if it was a grandfather, my heart goes out to him. The community is just so outraged. Sherriff Lewis is the best, and, I wish he would let the public know there was an adault in the home. These perditors can still do what they want with an adult in the home. We as a community are hurting also. Thank You for your input and May God Bless you
As I saw in a previous comment, we are all emotionally invested in this case, so it is totally natural to wonder such things. Especially with the way the rumor mill works around here. I'm sure the details will be released eventually. Not tomorrow, not next week, but there will be a trial where the extent of Sarah's injuries and how she died will be revealed to a jury.
Very Well Written! Hopefully your note will work to stop all the speculators and gossip mongers with nothing better to do than point fingers.
Amen!
That's what makes me respect you so much, Joe! You tell it like it is and that's the way that it should be. I also respect the way that you are keeping a promise and not saying anything that you have been asked not to repeat. People shouldn't run their mouths about things that they do not have facts on. Speculation and rumors are very hurtful and this is not the time nor the place for either. I feel that noone could feel any worse than Sarah's aunt. LEAVE HER ALONE! She has enough guilt and sadness to deal with, without all of this bashing that's going on. If you want to bash someone, bash that bastard that killed Sarah. I hope that he burns in hell!! At the very least, I hope that he becomes "Bubba's Bitch" in prison, so that he finally feels what it's like to be violated. Well, I've said my piece.
Very well put Joe, as someone said earlier - people should now turn their efforts to making sure we get some laws enacted to making sure these criminals don't GET a second, and third chance to harm another single child. One other thing. In giving much deserved kudos to Sheriff Lewis, lets not forget - and i'm sure i'm not the only one who feels like this - Also give much credit to the other deputies that worked on this, they worked just as hard as Mike on this, and other things to try and protect our community. And the MSP & SPD as well. NO one man or woman can do this on their own. I know a few people in local law enforcement here, and they work every bit as hard as Sheriff Lewis.
Thank you for putting some of the rumors to bed. Unfortunately, people like to speculate and fill in the details when they aren't (for good reason) provided. Keep Sarah in your thoughts and prayers!
Thank you for clearing up alot of speculation, as well as disrespect toward the family members. That wowan will truly be an angel of God when her time comes, what a sacrifice she has made.
I 99% agree, accept for killing of leggs i'm not for death penalties.
Now, if only people will lay off Mr and Mrs Wells...
Thank you for offering to carry the cross for Sarah's Aunt. She has suffered enough.
Just because you WANT all the details, it does not mean you are entitled to them. Many people are making judgements about the family and others involved in the case based on what they think they know. Just because you want to see the family on the news grieving does make it their duty to appear. Let them grieve in peace. If you feel the need to do something, look within your own family and start helping them. Go do something for someone before a tragedy happens rather than playing Monday morning quarterback for a game you only saw half of.
Great job! I have had the Aunt on my heart through this whole situation! She is living a hell that no one ever wants to live.
God bless this community and my hat is off to Mike Lewis and all of the law enforcement that assisted in this search! We will never be the same.
Joe, Well said, Through all of this I have felt is was a good thing not to march the aunt and siblings out into the public. They are suffering enough, Sarah's pain is over but theirs will be with them for the rest of their lives. This "man" planned this and knew enough of the family's habits to carry out his plan, and would do so no matter what once he got it in his head. Others have said it and I repeat it, God's blessings on this family, may they be sustained through the coming weeks, months and years. What a terrible tragedy to have happen to bring all of us together and realize how precious each moment is. Blessings to all.
I have a question about last firday if i may. First I want to again say thanks to everyone that donated, however, my question is, what happened to all of the leftovers. When I left the stadium around noon, there was still over a pallets worth of water there, let alone all the food that was still there.
Does anyone know this information
You Da Man Joe
You is Sexy when you get all lathered up!!
Seriously well put, very responsible on your part as a moderator.
Flat out the right thing to do.
I do hope you are able to let go and let vengeance be the Lords though. I have faith your heart will override your mind on this one some time soon.
FINALLY SOME SENSIBLE COMMENTS about Sarah's family situation. It seems that the "angry mob" has displaced their anger toward the aunt instead of where it should be and that is towards Leggs. It is as if the naysayers have the mentality as that of someone blaming the victim for a crime of rape. This needed to be said. I personally do not know the family, but my heart aches for all of them. Regardless if the parents were able to provide for Sarah or not, they still need compassion from this community. It is the right thing to do after the most horrific of events has taken place in our small community. May THE ENTIRE FAMILY find peace in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and may Leggs find God's judgement swift and just!!
JOE, I respect your posting on this matter and I would be the @2 guy in line.However this is gonna be a long drawn out affair.Given the state of the criminal justice procedures in place now he will never be killed by the STATE OF MARYLAND. We are gonna have to take care of this criminal for the rest of his natural life.There is no justice to be had inside the prisons either.Ther are so many of these individuals in prisons with the druggies that they see no remorse for anything.Thats the way it is now. Good Blees Sarah Foxwell,the family and yours Joe.
Thank you SO much Mr. Joe for putting this issue to rest. I was SO tired of the "Blame" game that so many wanted to play. Only ONE person is to blame and he is in custody. We are ALL upset AND angry but too many people did the
"I heard this and I was told that and the he said then she said game". I do not know the Aunt myself but feel that too many people were putting themselves in her shoes in the name of revenge and anger that I think they got the shoes on the wrong feet. I for one would hate to be in her shoes now with what some poeple have said about her who do NOT even know her! Little Sarah brought this community together! Let's not fall apart now!
I guess what I have said makes me a hyprocrite and a liar because I did not know TJ either but at least, this is something concrete and I can at least believe his part in this. Nothing so far has led me to blame the Aunt.
Sorry, I guess I had to let some anger out.
Cindy
THANK YOU for this post. I hope some people read this and feel remorseful about some of the things they have said. I've heard countless times people say, "She's (the Aunt) a monster for ever letting him in the home." I try to remind them- do THEY check the registry each time they make a new friend? Each time they let someone in their home? Each and every time they start to develop a relationship with someone? If we're being honest here- I'd say that for most of us, the answer to all of those questions is NO. We need to stop the rumors, stop the speculations, stop the blame. As far as we (the public) know, there is only one person to blame, and hopefully he'll get what he deserves. I hope to God he gets what he deserves. I urge everyone to TRY and remember the spirit that took over this town last week and not to destroy that by seeking blame where blame does not belong.
My most heartfelt sorrow and sympathy goes to Sarah and her family, and biggest thanks go to you, Joe, and Mike Lewis, who handled such a horrific task and responsibility with grace and courage.
Wow, I'm glad this was posted...I thought I was the only person who had compassion for the Aunt. I know she has to be overcome with guilt and is hurting more than anyone else. I hope that this post will shut all of those insensitive people up that only come on this blog to bash other people and point fingers.
Thank Joe. I hope this puts an end to the pitch fork mob mentality, but I doubt it. I don't know this woman but my heart goes out to her and her ENYIRE family. May peace be theirs.
I feel sorry that RUMORS were released in PRINT in the first place. It is bad enough to walk thru a store and hear people talking but when you are reading a "NEWS" publication ... it should be news not rumors.
That being said , I agree and will continue to leave the AUNT alone and pray for that family !
If you need any help in pulling the switch, let me know. Mike Lewis is a God-send. Now the judicial system needs to do their jobs to ensure that this worthless piece of human feces is put to death. Govenor are you listening? Death will certainly be a permanent deterent for this murder. Check out the Judicial Case Search and see just how many times this feces was released to prey on the most innocent among us. Had the judical system worked in the first place, we may still have that precious child. Wake up, America.
Thanks Joe, This just goes to show how a few people with their imaginations running wild can start such outrageous rumors. As I posted earlier, I hope when all things are said and done, those of you who have typed such ridiculous and outrageous accusations, will spend as much time typing your retractions and apologies. As for the lawyer who wrote the letter, shame on you. You should know better. I am not an attourney, but is seems to me to be slander.
Undermine
Anonymous 12:50 Very Well Put - Joe without you and the information you bring we would lost Thank You ( THE SEXY PART IS FUNNY )
EVEN if the Aunt made mistakes, this is not the time to slander her. There are some questions many of us want to know the answers to. This is a very sensitive subject and although i have asked questions that may have sounded condesending to the aunt, i apoligize, they were never meant that way! I have a daughter Sarahs age who went to school with her, she is very upset. But I stand behind my one and only question... Did the Aunt continually remind the children to stay away from this preditor. Hindsight is a blessing, I understand. But I remind my kids daily, show them pictures weekly of people they need to stay away from. I hope she did the same. I'm sure the younger child and Sarah were so firghtened to see him in their house.
OK, now let me make something else VERY clear here on comments as well. IF YOU wish to challenge what I have stated in my Post, I welcome that. However, unless you do so WITH your name, it will NOT get published.
I have put it all out there for the world to see how I feel. YOU will NOT hide behind anonymous and continue to attack the Aunt or me.
Now I know several of the comments I have rejected come from the sick mind of JT, that's a given. He has never been man enough to use his name because he's a pussy.
However, I can see that a couple have come through that do not read like his usually do and you'll either put up a name or it will not get posted. If you don't like that, start your own Blog and have at it all you want.
You have ZERO credibility without a name.
Why is it in our society that everything always ends up being the victim's fault? No one is perfect - we all make mistakes. However, there is no one to blame here except Thomas Leggs. Joe, I've been wondering if any of these comments had any bearing. I'm so very thankful that you have spoken out and stood up for this aunt. I do not want to begin to imagine how this has destroyed her.
The way I see it the family's living situation is no ones business. the details of the case is not the publics business. All the public needed to know was were to search when help was needed and that she was finaly found. I am sure the family does not need a bunch of busy bodys sticking thier nose and oppinions where its not needed. let the layers and police to thier job, let the family heal. There are cases like this around the world every few minutes of the day if anyone realy cares help prevent the crimes.
1:15 is exactly right. These animals that get long prison sentences or life w/o parole can still watch tv, take college courses, interact with family and friends, hurt other inmates and guards, send menancing letters, write books, give interviews and on and on. The Death Penalty is exactly that, a PENALTY. It is not a deterant to others. It's like putting down a rabid animal. They forfeited their place in our society.
Elections have consequences. These officials make the laws, appoint the judges and the fund the security of our nation, states and towns. Stop voting based on who talks smooth or has the most money or based on some irrational hatred of the other party. Vote for people that truely represent your values and don't compromise.
I would like to say that Elizabeth Smart was taken in the middle of the night, while her family slept, with her sister as a witness, by a man who had ill-intent in his heart. He was also known to the family having done work at their home, thus learning the layout of the home and habits of the people who lived there. Never for a moment should the victims in Sarah's family be blamed. If you consider the fact that Sarah's aunt is raising these children and by all accounts doing a good job, why on earth would you think she would knowingly allow a child sex offender have access to these children? Well, as Mr. Albero said, as soon as she realized what he was, she ended the relationship. He wasn't interested in the aunt. He saw her vulnerabilities and put himself in a position to take advantage of the situation. That makes this pre-meditated on so many levels. I am horrified for what was done to this child. I grieve for her as we all do. But my heart is breaking for the aunt as I am sure her mind just can't let go of the "would've, could've, should'ves". It is reprehensible that this community is putting Sarah's aunt on trial. Shame on anyone who has spoken a bad word about her. WE have NO idea what her pain is and I pray we never do. Let her be. Let the family be. Direct your venom at the deserving monster reponsible for this hurt.
Joe:
Here's a head's up -- the local Courthouse crowd says that the attorney assigned as Leggs' public defender is as good as they come at representing criminal defendants in and out of the courtroom.
Finally, I am happy about one of your posts Joe. Well said, & thanks for clearing up the rumors of the family!
Joe..found this quote..thought it fit here perfectly.
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."-Unknown
In addition, I think we all need to be reminded that whoever attends the funeral is there as a guest of the family and should act accordingly.
I am sure this will not be posted as you did not post my previous comment and I cannot show a name being that I am associated with several large companies in the area and do not feel it is fair for my opinions to reflect on them as they are MY opinions. Therefore I will try to rephrase...
My heart goes out to the aunt and the rest of her family, regardless of their place (or assumed place)in society. A loss of a loved one is a terrible loss no matter who you are or how you have lived your life. Nobody should discount their loss, even the biological parents who were not raising her, because of who they are.
The point I was trying to make is this: in saying as you did in your post "When Sarah's Aunt learned who Thomas Leggs was, she immediately dumped her relationship with him,(two weeks before Sarah was taken)." - That should not have been all she did. The hide-a-key should have been removed, the locks changed and the children should have been talked to about "Tommy" and told not to talk to him no matter what. This is not an attack on the Aunt, it is a mistake anyone could make, and it should be used as an example to make all other parents out there aware that they should never assume their families safety, but go out of their way (even if it means extreme measures) to assure it.
As parents - biological or adoptive - it is our responsiblity to protect our children. All parents should be aware of sexual offenders and violent criminals in their area. There is a reason that there is a public, free-access registry for these horrible people; to make people aware of who they are and where they live. Not only is there a sex offender registry but there is also a site: http://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/inquiry/processDisclaimer.jis - where you can look up criminal record history on anyone in Maryland who has been in the court system. These are things parents should be aware of and use especially when introducing new people into the lives of their children.
Why don't you get rid of the anonymous option all together?
Thank you for these words. The family has been in my prayers all of this time. I cannot believe that any of them does not feel as if their whole world has been taken from them.
Sarah's Aunt stepped up to the plate and took charge of those children. I only hope that some day she will be able to forgive herself for bringing this monster into their home. There have been a lot of comments about "how could she not have checked" and "how could she not have put those children first"; almost 11 years ago I met my husband. I had two children under the age of 12. Did I check a registry? No. I don't think that the idea ever came into my mind. I lived in Queens, NY then. I cannot say anything about Sarah's Aunt not doing something that I never did myself.
This horriffic crime is the fault of Leggs, not anyone else. We all are hurt, upset, frustrated and angry. Let's not turn it onto the wrong people. Christmas day I and my children and my future son-in-law were all out searching for Sarah. I've lived in Salisbury for almost 10 years now, and I've never felt a closer sense of community than I did that day.
Now if we could just clone you and Mike Lewis
My heart goes out to the Aunt, she fought to get custody of those children to get them out of harms way when they were in the custody of their UNFIT excuse of a mother. Don't for one minute think Sarah's mother is grieving to the degree of her sister who cared for and loved HER children. The mother will attempt to play the marter in all of this. Keep in mind the mother does not have custody of any one of her children and doesn't anyone wonder what kind of person the mother is and why - what happened that the state awarded full custody of those children to their Aunt. If I sound angry - I am, children should be brought into this world to be loved and protected. I believe their Aunt did the best she could to provide that atmosphere. It is unfortunate she encountered Leggs and I do believe she would NEVER intentionally put the children in a harmful position. I feel sorry for children, the aunt and the grandfather for their loss, they now have a huge void in their life. Maybe the mother needs to ask herself what she did to deserve to lose a child in such a horrible manner and my bet is she would not know which end of the list to start based on all the information that is surfacing about her (court documents don't lie). I am thankful they have Leggs in custody so he cannot hurt antoher innocent sole. Thoughts and prayers are with the siblings and those who loved Sarah.
Its is time to bury the dead ,Greive and morn.Have the trial and conviction.Honor Sarah's memory,By simply being a better mom,dad,aunt or uncle g-mom or g-dad.Nothing more good can come of the nastiness period.It's time to learn from this and move forward.If parts of both families can work at the same place wich they do peacefully as i work there and see for my own eyes.Then we as a community can do so too.When we die and meet Sarah in heaven what will she ask did YOU make a difference???
T.M.
Joe,
After allowing comments for the past several days that persecute the aunt, you are now stepping in to defend her. Have you interviewed her? What has transpired for you to take this stance?
There has been so much meaness spewing out of people toward the family that it has really bothered me. The guilty person is in jail. Monday morning quarterbacking doesn't help.
Starting rumors about this family and Salisbury's tragic loss is horrible. As wrong as it may be, people are going to have questions concerning the aunts ability to watch over the other children, purely as a concern for the other children. I agree however that this is not the time! Let's stick together and help the family cope, not attack and make matters worse for them. God bless all that were close to Sara and her family and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you Joe for setting this straight. I have heard soooo much garbage about the aunt and it's her fault. I would also respectfully ask people to NOT under any circumstance attack any of that family at this child's funeral. I've heard a bunch of rumors of how people are going to show up and tell them just what they think of the family. It's inappropriate. If you can't keep your mouth shut, then don't you step one foot in that church. People need to show respect. This child's funeral does NOT need to turn into a circus. It's about honoring the memory of a child that was taken from this earth too early. The truth will come out in time.
Well said Joe. I am glad you have put this out there. I don't know the Aunt and had no opinion until now. I can only imagine her pain.
Thanks
I commend the aunt for taking on the task of raising 7 kids..That is a difficult scenerio even with two well adjusted and competent adults and I have to believe nearly impossible for one person. It does however represent a fundemental flaw in society. The moral decline of the population in general have led to more and more single parent family. People can sugar coat it anyway they want to, but children raised under these conditions cannot have all the tools needed. They begin to think that this arrangement is normal.Several boyfriends and other twisted relationships in play, can't allow any child to develop normal thoughts about the way things should be. I make alot of money and we have two incomes and we could not afford to adequetely provide for 7 kids. So love only goes so far. These kids need finacial and emotional support that could not possibly be getting. We have a segment of the population that are breeding and don't have the means to support these kids. Did they not get the memo, you can have sex without creating a person who needs you to care for them. Having kids and not be adult enough to care for them should be criminal but I guess that is like making being stupid against the law. And our jails are full now. Kudos to the Aunt and other extended family that tried to help. It is easy to monday morning quarterback but one single person should not be trying to raise 7 kids of whom some belong to someone else. This is a problem that has long term societal consequences. Personal resposibility would end alot of what ails us...
Joe I commented to this post as soon as it came up but perhaps a discription of our Governor kept it from posting??? simply stated Well said I agree with you 100%. I have refrained from commenting neg. about the aunt ! As a past single parent (father) of 18 yrs it is not out of the question for a single parent / gaurdian to work 2 and sometimes 3 jobs! If some of the claims of the commentors were the fact I'm sure there would be endangerment charges in place! Mike Lewis has done a excelent job with this case and I'm sure that if any more info needs to come to light it will! I will close by simply saying if the time comes I will stand beside you to pull the switch! thank you
ok i agree with alot that has been said here. My biggest problem is everyone saying mean things about the aunt and the wells. my husbands step father and mr. wells are friends. It is just as hard on them as everyone else. just imagine that they found her on your property!!!!!!!! would you want to be reminded everyday what an awful man did to an innocent lil precious girl on your property. So what he dont want people to put stuff there. GET OVER IT.... it's his land. people should have asked him first. He is not the criminal MR.LEGGS. Please give this family of sarahs all the support they need. Stop the rumors. Just put yourselves in there shoes right now and understand they just lost a wonderful, bright lil angel to a worthless coward who will never own up to do this. I hope they fry his A**
Back In Berlin,
Let me make a few other things very clear. First of all, I do not do all the moderating on this Site. I'm not making any excuses, I just simply do not have the time.
That being said, this is a grieving process for many, good, bad or other wise.
I have dug very deep to get answers throughout this entire process and I have delivered MY input as I know it. As I stated,. I know more about this case than any of you.
I'd like to add, 99.9% of you have no idea just how much time it takes to run this Blog. Again, I'm not complaining or making excuses but trust me, it's at least a 16 hour a day job and in most cases 7 days a week.
I can't just respond to all comments and still have time to go out and research things. In many cases I'm on the scene, I'm at meetings, I'm taking pictures, I'm writing stories and yes I'm even copying and pasting articles I feel would interest you most. This takes a lot of time and effort with absolutely no pay whatsoever in the past.
Each person has the right to their opinion as well as their freedom of speech. I researched it, I've given my opinion and I have chosen to eliminate any more comments that go after the Aunt, especialy without a name to back up their feelings.
Now, I have a ton of other things to do and I hope that answeres every one's question referencing why comments are here in the past.
2:22 --
That's right.
I've seen Arch McFadden in action at trial, and here's a real Perry Mason.
anonymous 3:56, You need to get over it, IMHO. I have also made a firm statement about how I personally feel about Mr. Wells but you have conveniently not read it.
I personally know the aunt and Thomas Leggs and the aunt is a very loving and kind person she would put her life before and of these kids i know this for a fact she would never want anyone to hurt these kids in any kind of way. AND a grown up WAS in the house so any saying they weren't your WRONG.. ALL my prayers go out to Sarah Haley Foxwell a good friend of mine and her family... And Leggs WILL get his time trust me on that.
Joe,
Let me start off by saying you are an awesome tool in this community. I will not post my name for the obvious. I was involved in this case from the onset. People who have not actually been placed in these situations do not understand the sheer volume of work that goes into a case of this magnitude. trust we all want answers. They will come in due time.
The issue I have is that the majority of your readers are in fact "good people" The sad fact that no one understands every pedophile in the county with access to a computer is right on here with us following this case. They are learning from comments, learning from leaked information. It is no ones fault it is just a sad fact they are here as well. The public needs to keep this in mind. It is nothing like C.S.I. on television nothing happens in an hour. They solve it all in a one hour block on television. That is no where near reality.
The comments as to what we all would love to do to them is great. They need to hear just how sick they are and what a good person would be willing to do to them if they come near their family.
No normal person can wrap their mind around what has happend here. I think it gives some an avenue to vent and deal whith this situation. The Life Crisis Center is a great place for those who just need to talk.
There is no one to blame here as far as the family goes. lets make that perfectly clear. It only takes a second for an offender to grab any of our children. John Walsh who I met years ago is a living testament to this fact. He has devoted his life to this cause. The only blame should lay right at the feet of Thomas Leggs.
On that point let this pain and anger become our power, our voice. America has to take a stand right now on the issue of child crimes. The Amber Alert, Megans Law all came from horrible tradegies. We all believe that will never happen here. Well it has. I know for me it has left me in a dark fog that I am trying to pull out of. I have been fighting crime for many years and no case has left me as heart broken as this one.
There are some things that came to light. We have a great community of Law Enforcement that is willing to do what it takes to protect our children and pursue those that hurt them to hell and back. The good people of this county will not sit back and watch from the sidelines. They came out in full force to help locate this fallen child. I will say Christmas day as I approached Perdue Stadium I was overwhelmed and overcome by the number of people willing to help. It gave me great hope we would find Sarah.
The pure humilty of people throughout this case will stay with me forever. Looking into the eyes of men I have known for years and seeing the stress and fatigue will also stay with me as well.
I will say the word Hero does not come to mind here for the men and women who pursued this animal and looked so diligently for Sarah. They were Professionals. The best of the best when called upon. This is what we do. I am proud to among you. Sheriff Lewis I can only say what an awesome display of leadership.
To all the citizens that stepped up and came out taking any task given them. I am very proud to call you neighbors.
The hero here to me was Sarah. I do not know what may have been said to this child to stop her from screaming out. Obviously she did not to protect her younger sister and any other family member in the residence. That is a Hero. The six year old sister who pointed to a killer and said that is the man who took my sister. She is without a doubt a Hero and so very brave.
Again Joe thank you for all you do. Providing an avenue for the public to speak out and getting informtion out there.
God Bless and have a Happy New Year.
Does anyone believe for a second Leggs would not have broken the door down/in? Just because there was a hide-a-key that wasn't removed, doesn't mean we wouldn't be going through the same result had it been removed and the locks replaced. This woman obviously loved this child. How many parents out there have actually run every name they know (prior to this incident) or their children know through the Sex Offender Registry?? I would bet that there are a ton of glass houses out there some folks are throwing rocks from.
Thanks for addressing this Joe. I knew the answer before you commented.
Some of us do have access to some of the same people as you do, but, to protect those who are willing to share the information, we must be very careful how WE share also. I would never jeopardize the relationship I have with these people. I respect and admire what you do, know that.
Joe, thanks for your post. And my heart goes out to the aunt and the Foxwell's..And Let us not lose focus of what LEGGS did...And this precious angel we lost.
If I'm not mistaken, you Joe, made the comments about how the aunt didn't have custody and wasn't a legal guardian either somewhere among these posts. Yay for you defending her, but it's just a little hypocritical looking to me with all the other comments.. kind of like the one yesterday about makng it clear that "the family" which includes the aunt..could take the money if you send it to the farmers bank
-Jessica
I absolutly agree that this man should die, no doubt about it. I'm sure most people would agree.
Also, I'm sure the Aunt did love and adore Sarah, I don't think anyone is trying to say she didn't. You say to put ourselves in her shoes so i am. I have 2 small children, and I can 100% say that man would NEVER had met my children. If I met a man and gotten to the point where i would have introduced him to my children, I would have done a background check first. First place i would have checked: Sex offender list. IF she had checked.. she would have known. This is a sick world and we have to be aware of who is around our children. Like I said, i'm very sure she loved Sarah and the others she is raising... but she should have done a little research before she brought a man into these innocent lives. Google is a powerful thing... she should have used it. Bet she does in the future.
WHats really sad is there is a greater chance of a baby being killed in the name of abortion then this criminal being executed. What a backwards society we live in and hypocritical. Preserve the life of criminals and kill the innocent babies.
Jessica, IF you watched the Press Conferences, Sheriff Lewis clearly stated that the Aunt did NOT have legal custody of the children and Davis Ruark backed that up. That being said, I did speak to one of the Family Members today who did in fact tell me that the Aunt does have guardianship.
As far as the donations with the Bank of Willards, there are several Family Members in which I personally would NOT like to see them having access to these funds. However, if you knew more about some of these members, (in which you don't) you'd back me on that statement as well.
YOU are clearly a nay sayer looking for anything to bash me Jessica. You are completely wrong and I never once made a mistake in my comments.
I'm sure all the details will come out during the court case and that can't be jepardized. Hopefully, they'll move it to a different venue. I don't know about you, but I don't think I could serve in jury duty in this case.
custody and gaurdianship are 2 separate things everyone
as a single mother of a daughter age 10 i have learned a few things over the past week.. i think every single parent needs to sit their child down.. i had a very straight conversation with mine.. she is very close to the man i am currently seeing.. but i explained to her that no matter what happened and who came into the house.. him, her uncle, her aunt, even her own father... that if I did not tell her to go with them... DONT.. it is sad that we must subject our children to such things, but there are individuals out there that we must fear.. i for one understand that we do not know who they all are.. hind sight is always 20/20 and we can all judge now what happened then.. we all need to look forward to prevent this from happening again.. educate our children and ourselves.. learn something.. my heart breaks for the loss of life needlessly.. my heart goes out to those who can look back and say.. well maybe if i.... the past cannot be changed but the future can be influenced... peace to all involved
I'm telling you Folks, quit wasting your time making negative comments about the Aunt without a name, they will not get posted. Oh, Mr. McGoober of Delmar, you're a true piece of sh!t. I was going to publish your comment but after reading it to my Wife she simply said, don't do it. You can remain anonymous all you want but you're spelling, (or lack thereof) always gives you away. Scumbag is all I can say about you.
anonymous 5:10, are you married, or not???
i dont understand why people dont think with their heads and not their a** .the whole community has been effect with this little girls death.ok so she might not have the greatest parents, (i dont know)but she had an aunt who was willing to take on a big responsibility . no matter what the aunt DID NOT do this.and like joe said util you know the facts (not rumors) who are you to keep up with all the hear say? let the family be they have all been threw enough all ready.just make sure all 0f you who have been saying all of the negative about the family stay home on saturday dont make an appearance at her funeral .that is to pay your respects to her and her family so do them a favor and stay home they dont need it.
Joe stop defending yourself. No need to. You do more than anyone I know of to provide as accurate as possible information in a timely manner.
If your passion got a little out of control your forgiven. How many of the folks that post were like me, home, warm safe and dry with our families over the holiday. We followed your blog; passed on the information you provided and praised you for doing it. Prayed and possibly made donations of food or water. Now we want to bash you? I don't get it. Then when you actually do something no other Delmarva media outlet would think of, retract a previous opinion, we rally against you for being upright and true. Let me be the first to apologize for some of your readers. We didn't have to explain to our spouse, kids or Grand Children why we were only home to sleep Christmas Eve and Christmas. The facts you are privy to, have to be daunting, I could not imagine the pain and anger you mast have felt in the throngs of this entire event. But somehow you got the news out!!!If someone is bashing you it is so they can continue the mental masturbation necessary to deal with their own ineptness and hypocrisy.
Thanks for letting me share.
Ray
From 5:10... yes I am married.. ??
I have to say I was guilty of condemning the Aunt at first. And I have been in prayer about those feelings, I know how hard it is to forgive yourself, even when others aren't condemning you. It makes me reflect on my years as a single mother(grown kids now), but I made many mistakes, we all do. I do hope all of us who have been touched by this are still around when Leggs does indeed pay. Joe, you are surely not sick for wishing death upon this demon. What a holiday nightmare he brought us all.
anonymous 6:04, That's what I thought. With all due respect, you just lost my respect. Now if you had been single and practiced what you preach, I would have given you the benefit of the doubt. Did you do a background check on your husband when you met him? My guess is, absolutely not. Oh, and don't come back here saying you'll never come back here again. I've heard it too many times and I've done this long enough to know you didn't do a background check on your husband. There are three types of people out there and from your original statement I know which one you are. That doesn't make you a bad person, I just know your type. In fact, I divorced one of you and married the other type. Life is good. ;-) I hope you can see the humor in my reply.
I would say let Mike Lewis have the honors of flipping the switch,but we all know he will die an old man in prison.
I also will be talking to my child in light of this tragedy,you dont want to scare your kids but the world is scary now.
I stumbled upon this blog last week while trying to unearth more information on Sarah's tragedy and I must say that I have been glued to it since. I applaud your dedication, Joe, and the wealth of information that you have brought to our community. I feel that it is easy for all of us to point fingers at a time like this but none of us really knows how we would be judged for our own actions. Hindsight is 20/20. I am sure that we have all done things that would not withstand the scrutiny of another were it to see the light of day. I must admit that I have wanted more information too...hence the fact that I am constantly checking this site for updates, but I have taken a long look at myself and don't like what I see. The most important thing is that we as a community do whatever it takes to enable those in a position of power to make a rock solid case against this bottom dweller and not do anything to jepordize this
case. It will be a lifetime movie one day anyway!!
Well said. I could kill him myself and then enjoy a nice big dinner, but I do disagree slightly. I believe that before running electricity through his body, there should be parts of him cut off slowly and fed to him in small pieces. You are right on. Everyone should stop blaming Sarah's aunt, The Well's family, and Tommy Legg's mother. Blame Tommy Legg's and the liberal democracy that kept this monster on the streets. My heart goes out to her family. I am sure that her aunt was doing her very best. People are torturing members of the Legg's family and the Well's are guilty of only owning property. These people do not change. They are satanic monsters and our innocent children need to be protected. I beg officials to lock them up and throw away the key. Laws need to be tougher.
However, I can see that a couple have come through that do not read like his usually do and you'll either put up a name or it will not get posted. If you don't like that, start your own Blog and have at it all you want.
You have ZERO credibility without a name.
******
Of course the above was submitted by Joe and I wholeheartedly agree. I agree that there are some genuine reasons for being
Anonymous but considering the vast overwhelming comments that hide under that heading, I agree with Joe and would try to cut back on those comments jackkcharl@aol.com
6:11 you are correct i didn't do a background check on him prior to marrying him. My views on this world have changed completely since having children of my own. Prior to this case, I have checked the list of sex offenders so that i'm aware of my surroundings and neighborhood. If I were to ever bring a new man in my childrens life i would without a doubt know if they were a convicted sex offender. I'm not saying that Sarahs aunt is a bad person by this, but she should have known earlier on in their relationship. By that I mean she should have checked prior to introducing this monster to the children in her home. Hopfully this tragedy will make everyone more aware.
No offense taken to your comment, thats what i like about this blog.. your honesty.
5:33 Some advise; develop a password with your child and only the person who knows the pass word can pick them up, no matter who it is. Change it as often as you need to share it.
To answer the question of what happened to the water etc. left over from the search...I spoke with a Salisbury police officer at Walmart on Dec 26th. I asked if the family was going to need help with cost of the funeral. At that time he did not know. Several hours later it was released that they did in fact need help.
The officer did tell me however that they had taken 2 truck loads of food to the house as well as any itmes that we left over that had been donated for the search.
As too earlier questions as to why the obituary did not list names of the family...duh...because of the nasty finger pointing people who are looking to place blame wherever they can. It is to protect the family from those miserable people.
My heart goes out to the family. I do not know them personally but two of my children do know members of the family and they are going through hell right now. They are grief stricken and need support from our community not hate monering people.
Thank you Joe for putting some clarity to the families situation. Hopefully now some people will think twice before opening their idiotic mouths.
Bless this family and may they one day find peace and the abilty to move forwrd after this horrible loss
I think every single person in Salisbury will ALWAYS use google before introducing people to their children or just bring new people into their lives. But for everyone that is saying they have always done that I don't believe you. If it is true then that is great but to sit here and bash someone who just lost her daughter (because that is what sarah was to her aunt) for not doing something that the majority of people don't do is just wrong. I would think before Sarah went missing most people didn't do background checks on new people in their lives so you can't blame the Aunt just because unfortunately she was seeing a sex offender. Somehow she did find out about it and immediately stopped seeing him. Joe I know you are busy and I appreciate all that you have done in the past week. I sat on your computer for days just hitting the refresh button. But if there is anything we can do for the Foxwell family; if they need anything at all just post and we can make it happen.
Also, if I were to lose a child or family member my first priority WOULD NOT be talking to reporters or going on TV to update the public. So her/them not talking to reporters should not be held against them.
Hi..I am from Australia and have been reading your blogs re sarah as it is in a link on a crime forum I am a member off.
I would like to make a few comments..1st of all to all of you over there..this is so so awful and so so sad....for you locals it would be awful to deal with such a crime right on your doorstep....and you should be proud of yourselves in the way you all banded together to look for this little girl on christmas day...
With regards to the aunt...Joe I think you need to understand peoples anger toward her....but I do agree she should NOT be called a monster or held accountable.....the poor woman...she must be a good person to take on someone elses kids and try to keep them together...it is alot more than the majority of us would do..and I should know...I have just sent my stepdaughter my husbands child to her grandparents as I could not handle her...so yes I have respect for this woman for taking on 6 or 7....she has a heart...
HOWEVER...joe at the beginning of this, the news reports were that she knew this man was a sex offender, HE CUT OFF CONTACT WITH HER, and she told him where the spare key was.......I was extremely angry and thought she was another scumbag woman who puts a man, any man, before the children..and yes unfortunately as we know there are stacks of these women around...I know a couple personally.....so with this being reported I can understand the anger at the aunt...\
NOW HOWEVER...you have come out and said that SHE BROKE IT OFF WITH HIM...because she found out what he was....that is the right thing to do...I think we need the actual facts here...because if it is the first story...she needs to be condemned...if the second then she did the right thing.....
BUT STILL ONE BIG MISTAKE....why not change the place of the key....you see Joe..that is why people are angry...most of us once we knew he was a sex offender would have been scared stiff...and had the keys changed and certainly would have told the kids not to even talk to Tommy...
also in the first lot of news..it sounded like no one was at home with these kids...not a good look...now we find out grandad was there and it seems because of the layout of the house, he snuck in....that changes things alot and the family should be not blamed for this....an adult was there...once again only the key issue is wrong...
I feel this aunt is a wonderful caring woman who has taken on so much..more than most of us would do but the key issue she needs to acknowledge was a big big neglect on her part....
now with regards to mr wells...I feel sorry for him as well....how awful a crime to have happen on your property...it really would affect you....
HOWEVER he also did something wrong and I can understand the anger.....why throw out the items and destroy them???? no he reacted harshly and should have just collected them and put them in bags and got the council to move them....not destroy them...
I think this post has been very fair and I can understand why there is anger but also feel for the people being vindicated....
final word: please no one go to the funeral and direct your anger at the family.....let it be this poor sweet little innocents day of grief...
ps...the mother on the other hand....should be sterilized.....and quickly..
i dont believe anyone here has any room to speculate anything about this tragedy no matter what you know or think you know. everybody has different situations with different needs and we all have different standards. a lot of people do not have the resources to do background checks, or replace locks on their house, or install bars on their windows. this community learned a lot about itself, good and bad. all we can do is protect our own families with the best of our own abilities and pray that we never have to experience anything of this magnitude.
i recently met this aunt several months ago through my business. my opinion is that she is a very smart, thoughtful, and strong woman. she works very hard to support her family. she does the best she can with what the resources available to her and i commend her for taking on the responsibilities she has.
joe i think you do a fantastic job with this blog. you work very hard to keep everyone informed on what is happening in our community and post things that wont make the news or paper. kudos
tabitharose, we did not publish such mentioned information in a Post. You may have read some of it in "comments" but not in a Post. Thanks for sharing your input.
Kudos to you, Mr. Albero! Thank you for all of your time and effort in keeping us informed (and in check). My prayers go out to Sarah's aunt, siblings, grandfather and to everyone involved since the beginning of this horrific crime. Hopefully we, as a community, will pull together as an "eastern shore" family and see that this monster (or any molester) will never see the light of day again. God bless Sarah's memory and give the family and all involved the strength to possibly see a safer future.
hi joe...I am not saying that you published the info.....as I said I am on a crime forum and the actual news bulletins were reporting this info....
I actually read your blog after reading all this stuff thru the news sites first...stayed up one night for hours reading through it...
that is why I like reading the local blogs as people who know way more about the situation and are friends/family tell it as it is...
so no please dont think it was your reporting at all...
and I think it is wonderful you do a local blog like this....I dont know what your population is but I live in a town of 180 000 and we dont have anything like this....we just have text the editor to the local paper......it is great you have somewhere the locals close to the issues at hand can place their comments....
over and out from australia..and once again what a sad awful crime...
I loved the program OZ (jail show) dont know if it is real to the truth or not...but if it is...this creep, scumbag, degenerate should get his
Joe I just read from WBOC that Haley died from multiple injuries???...Do you have any more detailed info on that? Those words make my mind race with terrible thoughts.
anonymous 8:57, No Comment.
If they don't have DNA or anything else physically linking him to the crime, and all they have is a toddler's assertion he was involved is it possible he will go free?
I'm assuming his atty will change trial venue out of Wicomico County.
He will try.
8:22 - I am one of those people who REALLY DO check out people that come into my life on google/and sex offender lists... especially if they are around my child and/or in my home. I have been doing it for many years and I know most of my friends do the same. I find it shocking that you think that most people dont do this. Seriously? This world is crazy, my child means everything to me and i dont think its a big deal to do a quick background check on people... it takes like two seconds. Why wouldnt you?
WOW! How easy it is to be judge & jury from a computer... WBOC has been consistant in 1 area only...mistakes. Until all is said and done, no one will know the entire story. Passing judgement on the aunt and spreading idle insults to each other via blog is taking the "fire" out of what should be the main focus...making those responsible for Sarah's death pay and preventing something like this from ever happening in our own back yard again!!! If we would all spend as much time working for a better future for our families as we do passing blame, rumors and opinions..we might actually get some where. Don't let Sarah's death be in vein, THIS IS OUR WAKE UP CALL!!!
Joe..your awesome dude. Your are straight, to the point and honest. You call it like you see it and search for the truth, not just news
Like many mothers here, I have preached over and over again to my own children (sad that you have to almost scare them that way) about sexual preditors. I have gone over many scenarios, let them know their ill intentions, tried to play out tricks and lures they might use to teach them what to do, what not to do. I felt I had done a great job...and then just last night one of them had fallen asleep in my bed while I was on the computer. I walked him into his room that he shares with his older brother. I had to hold him up because he was dead asleep and never even opened his eyes. Then it hit me...I had missed an opportunity. I could have been anyone and walked him anywhere that night. I immediately became frightened. How many times had I walked my kids around at night and they never woke up?? The next day we all had a talk about not assuming it's mommy or daddy...but these kids are asleep and very trusting. It hurts my heart because we are never ahead of the people committing crimes. So sad!!
He who is without sin, feel free to cast the first stone.
I hope Sarah's Aunt is coping the best she can. I pray for her and the other kids each night.
Let's step up and not let this child's death be in vain.
Thank you for sticking up for the Aunt; this is a horrible situation, and people tend to blame everyone but the real culprits (juries, attorneys, judges)!
Joe is right. Where's your humanity people. Most of us dont know anything about Sarah's family. Now, we should just be there for them to offer support. No one, regardless of what you have done in your life, deserves to have an innocent child taken from you in the middle of the night and murdered. We have no right to blame anyone right now but the monster who did it. Everything will fall into place and anyone else to blame will have to answer to God.
I have a dog that would love to make sure that fire hydrant is put to use!
i feel like i need to know the details of this crime. But then I think, what am i going to do about it? I cant do anything. I just feel we all want to know. Not how he killed her but what do they have on him?
very good story except for keeping what you know to yourself i think that everyone should know exactly what that piece of shit did to that little angel...why such a big secret tell all and then alot of untrue stories will stop
Joe, thanks for this open forum. It is great. I follow you all the time, but have rarely commented. You have done an excellent job on getting the TRUTH out there. Keep up the good work, it is appreciated.
2:01
When dealing with a case such as this, there are details that only the perpetrator and investigators know. An investigator needs to let the suspect reveal those details. What we are seeing in this case is a very tight and effective investigation before murder charges are filed. Truly professionals at work.
I am sooo glad someone finally got some of these things straight. I am A friend of the aunt and it broke my heart to hear this stuff about her when she is the one that that did so much for these kids. Now maybe all these people out here will stop the bashing. If anyone is to blame it is our precious government that allowed this monster to walk the street. I too knew the situation but felt it was no ones business but thank you for shedding light on a few facts. I too will never say anything about the situation. It is no ones business but that families. RIP dear baby girl....We all love you
Thank you, thank you, thank you Joe, for finally bringing this to light and stopping the public damnation of Sarah's aunt. I knew these details due to "connections" but did not feel it was my place to bring it up. I tried to do it anonymously but you rejected it, and I'm sure you had good reason. No problem there.
The problem I do have is you're gonna have to fight me (and thousands of others) for that first place in line to throw the switch on Leggs.
Joe,
The problem with people like Leggs (and there are many), is you can't tell by there demenor that they are sexual preditors. If you just met Leggs in a bar you would find him extremely charismatic, because he is. Thats the first thing they learn, how to get close to people.
You, putting this link up on your site is an extreme blow to these people. You have become the 1st line of defense for our children. They can't hide anymore, we know where they are and how to find them.
I would also like to suggest that posting a picture every day of one of the offenders that is noncompliant would get them into compliance or caught. IE: Foskey, Terry Wayne. He is a Salisbury local, very dangerous to our children, and noncompliant.
Lets put these people on notice that we all know who they are and they will get caught.
Tom Sawyer
Joe, first I want to thank you for all you are doing to keep the public aware of the TRUE facts. I do not live on the shore anymore, have been gone for 9 years, but still follow the news up there. I followed this story from the beginning and prayed for Sarahs safe return. Unfortunately, it did not turn out that way. One thing I have been wondering and have not heard much about. This leggs monster, does he have family in the area? If so, what do we know about them and their lifestyle? How are they dealing with all this? Just curious. Thanks again Joe, for all you have and continue to do!
BackinBerlin - I'm glad you made that statement. I now realize why some things can't be revealed. (Should've been obvious, but I wasn't getting it....)
I agree with the earlier comment about how the decline of families has contributed to the breakdown of our society.No one woman should have to take on the job of raising 7 children by herself but this is commonplace now in alot of families across the country.Grandparents,Aunts,and other relatives are raising children with very little help because they desperatey want to keep them out of foster care and sadly,the biological parents of these displaced children keep right on multiplying like rabbits.Then when they go to jail or rehab,theres yet another baby that needs a home.Its sad but its not at all unusual now.
That was a perfect letter! I have been a single mom of two but a single mom of that many especially when they are not yours and you stepped up to take care of them....takes alot of love and character!!! No matter what she did or anyone has done in their past, it didn't warrant this.
My heart goes out to the aunt. I can't imagine how she feels inside. The hurt and the dispair is paralizing I am sure. God bless her and help her through this. This awful and heart wrenching situation that happened to this precious child will hopefully change our legal system and the way our judges do their job. Our system failed this girl....its a disgrace but hopefully we will just get better!
I have asked how to get the red, green and white ribbons and bracelets made in her memory. Does anyone know?? It would be my pleasure and honor to wear it!!!
I pray constantly for Sarah and her family. No matter what...god is beside you, helping you through this.
Thank you for finally clearing up some of the answers. As some else said we are all emotional invested in this case and have jumped to conclusions that we had no right to do. I still think that the family should not recieve any money for the death of Sarah. I am sure bills have piled up and the employers should step up and pay these people while they were out. I won't donate to pay thier bills but I will donate to a trust fund or scholarship fund.
THank you JOe for once again stepping up to answer questions.
I am well aware that the aunt tried her best to take care of the children. I don't believe anyone is faulting her.
On the other hand the arrest records of both the PARENTS are appalling. Children deserve better than that. They should have been focusing their attention on their children throughout the years. Now they're the ones looking for sympathy on the TV all the time. Where were they when the kids needed decent parents??
