Haleigh Cummings is a missing 5 year old. She's been gone since early Feb 10 and the father's 17 year old girlfriend was the one who waited until the father came home from work before they called the police to make a report.

It's only been a month since his little girl disappeared but her father is ready to marry now. He has applied for and received the marriage license. Could the fact that a man can't be forced to testify against his wife have anything to do with his decision or is he just ready to 'move on with his life'?

I guess there's nothing like a missing child to make a daddy want to hear those wedding bells chime. Oh happy day!

Unbelievable! If my child was missing that would be the last thing on my mind.

My first thought also was that you dont' have to testify against a spouse. Very sad.

Why in the hell is this news? Why in the blue hell is the father of a missing child getting a marriage license to a underage girl a freaking news story? Look...the entire freaking economy is collapsing. The freaking planet is melting. We're up to our necks in debt and no one has a job anymore, and to top it all off we're stuck in two miserable unwinnable wars, and THIS CRAP is a news story? How long have these two dopehead twits know one another anyway? Five months max? I don't understand how they could be planning to celebrate their future together, when his poor baby has been missing for a month. If my child were missing, I definitely wouldn't be in the mood to plan a wedding. The reason these two aren't in jail right now is because Casey Anthony imprisonment is costing the state a bundle. Misty's mother should have Ronald arrested for statutory rape, not signing a marriage license. I think that it was in really bad taste to be showing off an engagement ring (Misty...please clean your nails!) for media attention when her fiancee's child is missing. I hope to God that they find this little girl alive and ok somewhere, but it's been a month. Well "for better or worse" will be tested when it is found out that one of them killed this child. Maybe one of them can share a cell with Casey Anthony. ~Lisa

Somebody get Lisa a Valium - STAT! LOL. This is The Cafe, honey - do you want to only talk about the "entire freaking economy collapsing, the freaking planet melting, two miserable unwinnable wars, being up to your neck in debt and no one having a job anymore"? Good God, what a rant about something that I think is kind of interesting. I'm sorry your life is so unhappy. You must be really depressed. Make that two Valium!

I think it's news because it's a public interest story. This missing child case is high profile and not many people would get married under these circumstances. How many fathers of missing 5 year olds would THINK about celebrating a wedding when their baby is gone? I feel sorry for that little girl with relatives like these. May be her father knows more about her 'abduction' than he's saying. It doesn't sound like finding his 5 year old daughter is his top priority, does it? He's got a wedding to plan! I'd LOL but it's not funny - it's sad that any child has him for a father.

" How many fathers of missing 5 year olds would THINK about celebrating a wedding when their baby is gone? I feel sorry for that little girl with relatives like these. " So they cant be called to testfiy against each other if something comes up connecting them to the case.

When we went to the Daytona 500 we stayed near Samsuta. The hotel we stayed at was crawling with FBI and news media people. There were also searchers there. I guarantee you there will be more to this story involving the 17 year old girlfriend...

OK "honey", get me a valium! Make that three of them! And no, my life is not unhappy...Here we go a again with the assumuptions...It's getting tiring now...Yawn...I'm sorry to disappoint you and let you know that all is well...although I know that your misery does love company. Life is good! You're just jealous because I'm so fabulous. Now..don't make me go all Joan Crawford on your a@@! The bottom line is that I hope Haleigh is found alive and well.

~Lisa

Lisa-hope you are feeling better after those valiums!!! It's news, it's that simple!

I thought the same thing. Everytime they interviewed the 17 yr. old she looked stoned. More to this story -- you think?

I think that Lisa meant (and I could be wrong--correct me if I am): Why does society as a whole have such a morbid fascination with things that in all reality isn't newsworthy?

My biggest pet peeve in the news has been the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna story. If covering this story would benefit abused spouses and partners I'd be all for it. But, I don't see that happening. I've seen one news article that truly explained what goes on in the mind of an abuse victim and why a victim would go back to the abuser. All the rest have talked about what a horrible person Chris Brown is and how dumb Rihanna is for going back---unless you've walked a mile in the shoes of an abused wife/SO, you probably don't know what it's like. Furthermore, no one really knows what when on in that car other than her and him!

Ok...off my soapbox/done w/ my rant.
Back to topic: I don't care if they get married. I can't imagine planning to get married after having a child go missing--but then again, I've never had a child of mine disappear (thank God above), so I don't know what I'd do, not do or where my head would be.

Marilyn...You are right...That is pretty much what I meant although it certainly didn't come across that way...I think I was just not in a really good mood when I posted...I guess you could have figured that out...Just like when I posted about the reality TV shows, I can't figure out what is so appealing about this stuff...I'm sad to hear about crimes and missing children, but I have to admit that I do enjoy watching true crime TV shows...I love "America's Most Wanted" and "Nancy Grace"...I read that today was the day that they tied the knot....I don't see how I could feel any joy on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life with my child missing...Totally bizarre... ~Lisa

caddylisa and marilynk your both correct with your posts. And I have taken all what both of you have written and it all makes so much sense. However Opal to say that Caddylisa should take valium for her problems and or her rants, that is not nice at all. There are a couple of posts here now where Caddylisa has been picked on, can we leave her alone and move on okay , I would deeply appreciate it very much, thanks so much. Peace to all.... Catherine

I didn't pick on Lisa and you know it. Her 'what a terrible world' post struck me as extreme for this topic and I responded with a call for Valium. I was joking. There was nothing mean about it but it gave you an opportunity to loudly proclaim your love for Lisa again, didn't it? Not that you need an excuse - you make your own opportunities.

No one is picking on anyone but if you would 'deeply appreciate it very much' that everyone get along, why don't you stop INSTIGATING? You think it's not noticed that you do this all the time?

Spreading Peace while CONSTANTLY causing trouble isn't so peaceful. It's passive agressive crap and who can stand somebody who acts like that?

If you want peace, try being peaceful yourself instead of always trying to cause trouble between other posters! I think your constant fawning over every woman that's nice to you is sickening and it's an opinion shared by many on this board. So now you love Lisa - super. Are Tammy and Kathy jealous or is there room for one more? LOL. Have you ever thought of sending your crushes private love notes instead of always proclaiming your love for them on the board? Better yet, wouldn't calling them on the phone give you more of a thrill? You could hear their sweet voices and relive the converstions in your head whenever you wanted! LOL.

Peace. See, since I wrote Peace, that means that I love everyone the way you say you do . And I think people will believe it just as often as they buy the 'See how nice I am?' crap you spout. Peace.

Wow opal i knew just knew I could count on you to reply back with those exact words. In fact I probably could have written the post myself thank you. When I say peace I truly mean it, whether you feel I mean it or not I could care less. I wrote a nice response to all this and I did not say nothing nasty at all. However once again Opal you are showing your true colors I know I can truly count on that. I do have many wonderful friends here on the board, and if I want to claim my love for for friends here, then I will do so and if it bothers you so much, well then there is nothing I can do to help . You truly should try to be a little nicer but from what you just wrote about me, its seems impossible. So be . Peace to all. Catherine

Opal one more thing , can you kindly back up your quote about me, that there are many on the board here who are tired of me proclaiming my love for members. I would dearly love to know whom they are.. Thanks in advance. Peace peace peace peace. I love saying that word because I truly mean it. Peace. Catherine

Geraldo has an interview on the Web where he jumped out and surprised the father. The father acts drunk or drugged - I think drunk. He slurs his words and talks very slowly. He denies that he did all the things his ex-girlfriend says he did - hit her and Hayleigh, sells and takes drugs, and is a police informant.

GERALDO CONFRONTS UPSET FATHER OF HAYLEIGH CUMMINGS video on CastTV Video Search

If the courts give the child to the best parent, then what is Hayleigh's mother like if the father is better than she is? Hayleigh never had a chance. It's sad and I don't think her father's not finished yet either - he'll have more children with Misty.

Sure, sure, sure. We know just how much you mean it. The passive agressive crap doesn't fool anybody and I don't need to list their names - you already KNOW who they are because you/Kathy read the posts and replied to them!

I do want to congratulate your amazing transformation, though. You know, the one from being almost illiterate to knowing grammar and syntax. Truly remarkable! Kudos for learning English overnight. LOL!

You didn't answer MY question. If you would 'deeply appreciate it very much' that everyone get along, why don't you stop INSTIGATING trouble?

Does this board really need the traffic so badly?

To op sorry this thread went off topic, this is not about me. Anyone else who wants to continue the thread kindly do so. Opal there are no words for you, your just a mean spirited person and your comments speak volumns. End of story for me. Peace. Catherine

"can we leave her alone and move on okay , I would deeply appreciate it very much," You are kidding Right??
You really did not mean to post something that you would say to your children, did you?

I love Geraldo and saw the video you're talking about the other night. I loved how Geraldo confronted him with some of those questions and just kept up. Then Ronald's mother and Uncle Billy Bob jump in and tell Geraldo and his crew to leave. I agree...he's going to reproduce some more kids. ~Lisa

Catherine...You are a sweet person...I appreciate you having my back...But I put my big girl panties on and dealt with it...You can't change people...You don't need to get yourself in the middle of all of this...It's over and done with...It's a new day...All is well...Just relax...I thank you for your support, but don't want you to have to deal with anything that is going to stress you out...You can love whoever you want to...You can say peace until the cows come home...It's your prerogative as Bobby Brown says! You know that when I first came across you, I didn't like the "peace" thing either...But it grew on me in time...Sometimes the people who you dislike the most end up becoming your friends...Back to Haleigh...Any updates today? ~Lisa

Update for today? I dunno, but I saw them on one of the news shows last night and I thought it said Ronald and Misty Cummings....so it seems like a done deal. The show was discussing the motivation for the marriage being husband can't testify against the wife....however it was brought up that covers marriages at the time of the crime, not later, so it may be a failed attempt (if that was the motivation). Looking at them, I have that sad, shake-my-head feeling that I have so often anymore....these are the people that are procreating in America...ugh.

As for the ILL coming to the rescue of all her friends, I'll vote that it's rather irritating. Everyone here is able to fend for themselves, or not start the argument in the first place, and I really doubt that they need any looney love to make it through the day. Lisa quite gently and nicely responded as such.

But I've figured out that we're not going to be able to change others...ILL, are you listening?....you can't change others, you can't decide who can respond to what thread in which manner. So we have to figure out how to deal with it ourselves. Ignore feature is somewhat helpful in that regard. It won't work for those who look for and thrive on the drama though.

Ok cjs216 once again here we go again, if you kindly go back in one of the threads that caddylisa started that she opened up a can a worms and in one of the threads , she asked where is Lucy when I need her,,, she asked for me first, I did not stick my nose into someone's business without asking and also for your information cjs216, what I wrote to Opal was a fairly nice post to kindly ask her to leave Lisa alone, I said nothing mean or rude, but once again cjs216 you proved you just as mean spirited and are so phony. Truth be known if it were me who made the post like Caddylisa did and say I will help you find the person, you would have been all over me, but because someone else said it, it was so funny. What a phony person you are. Also on a final note you have told me before yo had me on ignore, but yet you still seem to not leave me alone and you talk about starting trouble... irony at its best.... Also for Opal to think that I am Kathy Ohhgodd because my name is Catherine that is one better...So for the record Caddylisa asked where was I, and I felt as a true friend I would offer some support, something you should learn and not be so phony.. Lets see what response you give me now... Catherine

Train wreck I am cjs216, what you just posted proved my point, your a mean spirited person, who thrives on personally attacking me each time you are given the opportunity, so what you just posted speaks volumns of the true person you are . Again you mentioned the ignore feature use it, but you just cannot keep yourself from your personal attacks on me...Truly pathetic and so childless.. peace to the many wonderful caring people here on the boards... Catherine

I am not childless....I have two wonderful, loving, caring, intelligent, and active children....thank you very much.

Sorry my mistake to all on the boards as I mean't to say cjs acts more like a child and you know what I mean't. But again your perfect. On a final note sloppy dress, sloppy minds. I rather have my dh and my children dress and act like hippys anytime. That statement you made was in bad bad judgement and not true at all. Final note this post is not about me or you and it ends here . So post away...Again you cannot leave me alone, you do not like me, yet you continue to post where is the ignore buttom.... Catherine

The "Today Show" had the two on yesterday morning. They showed pictures of their wedding--at a friend's house, because their church refused to allow them to have the wedding there.

When watching the the "couple" I got the same sick feeling as I did when I watched Susan Smith (remember her?) years ago. They either know something, or were involved in the disappearance of this precious little girl.

As to the whole ILL situation---I do have her on ignore. But, when people quote her, it's hard to ignore her. And when I do read her posts, I get the impression that she just likes to hear herself talk. I have two children who tend to just talk for the sake of talking. Thus, that's I have started viewing her as a child. Yes, ILL. I'm saying that you are immature, naive and have a child's mind. That can sometimes can be endearing--if you are my child. But typically, it's just annoying as hell.

Catherine...I'm sorry for bringing your name up and dragging you into any of this...I hope you accept my apology...I appreciate you and your trying to help...I'm sorry if I sounded ungrateful...not the case at all...I'm sorry if you feel that other posters have been nasty to you...But there is nothing I can do about that...I can't edit what they write or think of you...You are a sweet and caring person...You know that I would back you up as well if you needed it...I was just mentioning the "peace" thing because I find it ironic how when I first "met" you it annoyed me so much...When I got to know about you, it never bothered me again...I just know it's a part of who you are...Again, my apologies...Now, back AGAIN to the topic at hand, or should we just close this thread? ~Lisa

Lisa I sent you a pm I am not mad at all at all. no sweat. Marilynk your right up there with being a truly mean spirited person who seems to think you know it all. When you made a post like that your the one who acts like your 3 years old. Find something better to do with your time, as it seems at this point you have had so much experience with pratically every single subject that has been discussed on this board. Also whether you have me on ignore or not and if you truly do and hate my posts, then why would you continue to post your comments, why because you and cjs216 just like spewning more hatred and mean spirited posts... Makes no sense, you have me on ignore yet to comment about me and who truly is the trouble maker here?????????? Peace to all the wonderful caring people here on the boards. Also a sincere sorry to op this thread is not about me and so sorry if it has become that way. The more important issue is with baby Haleigh as it should be.. Peace. Catherine

What keeps getting my attention is that Ronald seems to keep talking to the TV saying "if you are watching baby girl, just know I love you." It's as if he thinks she is always tuned into the TV wherever she is being held. I don't know why that strikes me as odd. Maybe because I've never seen too many other parents of missing kids do that every single time they are interviewed. ~Lisa

I too think it's odd the way he says "if you're <pause> watching<pause>, baby <pause> girl"....now THAT's phony. (takes one to know one, I guess ) Seems like he would put out a plea to whomever took her at least some of the time.

Creep and Mrs. Creep.

And by the way, the thread was on a train wreck....

Except for the part where a sweet child is missing....this thread is hysterical and highly entertaining. I do try to ignore some here, but sometimes, like a train wreck you just can't look away.

anyway...

I have little doubt that one or the other of these two will be exposed soon. Somethings up, everybody knows it, it just hasn't been proven yet. And I heard that they can indeed be made to testify against one another because whateverhappened, happened before the marriage. What a couple of cases.

Honest to Pete, I think this case has to come up with something soon....because I'm convinced the father & now stepmother were involved...and I don't think that between the two of them that they have enough brains to have done something and be able to cover it up and/or keep their mouths shut.

I did like it when they were on TV once and DS2 (14) said "look at how dumb those people look smoking cigarettes". Keep thinking that baby....
