It is a wonder ANY of their kids survive! What an eye-opening experience on these "trailer park" type people. The money they all seem to spend on cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, etc is only funded by what they take from their kids' upbringing. If they'd stop all that and put their energies into working full time jobs and spending time and money on JUST their families -- what a difference it would make in the lives of their children. (And their own). Abuse begets abuse and poverty lingers on without the hard work required to make a better life for your loved ones. At this point, it hardly matters WHO did what to whom -- they are all guilty of complacence if not downright malfeasance toward their responsibilities as parents (and grandparents).

Everyone on both sides of the families, are in my opinion...enablers. They cover for each other. They lie, they hide the truth, they conceal what they have to in order to protect themselves. Not one of them and that includes R.C. and his mother have told LE the complete truth. Everyone involved, except the children, are either doing drugs, allowing drugs in their homes,or enabling spouses to continue their drug habit. In spite of all the sympathy and well wishes from the public, this gang of drug addicts and thieves and miscreants will continue to do what it is they do best. They don't care about each other, humanity, or small childen who are helpless while they rage and threaten and steal. Maybe this is just tip of the iceberg, and hopefully, LE is leaning on all of them. I hope so, and I hope many arrest warrants are waiting to be signed. Because these families do not care, not about anything or anyone. I’m just disgusted by everything. Everyone on both sides of the families, are in my opinion…enablers. They cover for each other.

It seems very odd that so many of the other players in this keep going in and out of jail with petty charges and extremly high bonds, yet Ron and Misty are out of the reach of police..... Misty friends say they were at the apartments to get drugs when jumped..the road rage incident..failing polygraghs... Then Ron, witnesses stating he placed a gun in his mouth in front of his son, domestic violence on more than one occasion.. and a LONG RAP SHEET.. yet they are untouchable..!!!! Are the police waiting till they can legally declare Haleigh dead before they make a move..If they are informants, then they have every reason to be scared..and if it came to the cost of Haleigh... THEN I HOPE THEY ALL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE.!!!! I wouldn’t doubt that Ron is an informant, due to the drastic reduction, or dropped charges, to his MANY VIOLATIONS..

What if Tommy took Haleigh and sold her for drug money? What if he only puts himself at the house because he was there and was afraid someone else would put him there. When RC called him and told him Misty was not home, maybe he went to get that gun or steal something with or without this cousin and Haleigh saw them. Seems to me Tommy fears Ron. Misty seems afraid of everyone but I do trust her either. I just do not see why they do not polygraph Tommy. I have heard him offer to take a polygraph on the news. Why not take him up on that? Just someones reaction to being asked to take a poly can tell law enforcement so much. Why not ask the entire family both Croslin, Cummings and Sheffield to take a poly. See what they all say? Hope they have done this. Not looking good for little Haleigh. Thanks Art for keeping her story Alive. I can't imagine why Ron Cumming's does not give you an exlusive just to keep his baby in the news. Get her back in tne news. Maybe he has given up. The mom also. Both have shut up big time. Maybe nobody wants them on? You would right Art? I have serious questions about this entire family. What if Tommy took Haleigh and sold her for drug money?

Every adult is responsible for their own actions. People can be there own person and not do what their family does. Hank SR is part of the problem not the solution. By being guarantee on the bond he is enabling his sons very obvious addiction. Someone in this family needs to call Intervention. This is classic stuff that goes on when there is an addict in a family. I gave thought to these opinions of Crystal and being involved in Haleigh's kidnapping. I really don't think so her lack of involvement and eager desire to blame that else where I think served as a distraction, but that is all. What about this A/C Man was is his alibi. In an interview Misty said he was left alone in the house. I know a person can slide the lock a bit out of place and move the window just a bit and it look closed and locked. Then after from the outside simply slide it open jump in and it slides back into lock position. My friends son was doing it until she caught him. In the beginning I watched an interview and the person struck me like a bat to the stomach I only get that when it is not a good person in fact my friends rely on me for it, it just happens when I enter a room or area and a not good is there, can't quite explain it. However it wasn't any of these people, everyone has a theory I think the Police need to start over and do more media releases, not Misty's releases though. This with this man and his children will end sadly if there is not an intervention, however that is on the Mother. The other parent can't be involved it's that simple and yes it will be hard, yes it is unfair, fair or not it is as it is, get busy doing right and cry later.Out the door he goes!!!

However they are getting hounded by LE pretty hard, I believe the arrests are being used as an investigative tool, why wont they arrest misty and keep her in jail until she starts squaking??? I believe the pressure in jail would get to her. ART I HAVE A QUESTION: What is the deal with that step father who took off for Kentucky the same week Haleigh disappeared? The one who was never investigated and supposedly used to work with LE or something like that??? What was the story with him did you ever find out???

Tommy and Joe had some kind of vendetta against Ron.. whose to say it is over.. whose to say Tommy didnt lure Haleigh outside to the van with cousin Joe. Joe said he'd get back at Ron.. taking Ron's most precious thing.. His child. I agree with Jan57.
