See now, Alex this is where your wrong. Unfortunately enough I do know your family. And I do know its true. True enough for your parents to now be getting a divorce because of it. you can lie to everyone else, but you cant lie to me.

I would like to point out to you, Mother, that I may not have been in the house at the time that the incident occurred but believe me when I say I have my facts straight. Were you there to know that she didnt do it? Do you think the child lies when he says he was kicked? And hard enough to leave bruises? That is not an accident. The daughter is trying to save more embarrasment, but if a person cannot deal witht the consequences of what they did, then they should not have done it in the first place.
Mother wrote on Jan 6, 2009 3:52 PM:
I agree with the daughter. We don't know what happened and neither does the paper. How are we to know. For the one unnamed...you weren't there how do u know she kicked him, were u there in the moore's house at the time of the so called incident. The only ones who know what happened are the family members and I think we should believe them over the news papers, police and DHS cause they get everything second hand and we get it third. Think back when u played telephone when u were little, how many times was there a word or the whole phase changed? We all need the facts before we accuse.

Dont give me that fifth grade stuff. She DID kick him. And she deserved to be reprimanded for that. I hope she does lose her child care license. And to Brenda, she may never have hurt your kids, but that does not make her a good child care provider. you as a parent should know that.

I have to agree, The World has become one sided in many of their articles. It seems to me this is to boost sales. Are they becoming our local Enquirer??? Maybe it's to make up for the lack of ability by some of their writers. Does anyone proof'read anymore?

Heidi took care of my two kids and you know what? She did a great job! My babies were happy children. They liked going to her house! Everyone just needs to keep their opinions to themselves.
Alexandria wrote on Jan 2, 2009 7:06 PM:
How do u even know she kicked him? Don't be going saying things u don't know if true or not. You need to really keep comments to yourself. Thats how rumors are spread. This isn't jr high or high school this is 5 peoples lives.

Maybe she did do something that she should have to answer for. What if she did something worse than hitting or striking her child. Does anyone here know her personally. Besides her child. If a child if abused it should be everyones business, because she is raising the next generation. They are the ones that will guide the future. As for Ms. Moore, maybe she will find justice in the truth of what happened.
..... wrote on Jan 2, 2009 11:51 AM:
I would like to point out, even to you Alex, that she kicked her own son. That does not happen by accident. She made that decision and now her children are missing her on Christmas becuase they are too young to understand what she did was wrong. Maybe you should have stepped in a long time ago.
EX-FOSTER PARENT wrote on Jan 2, 2009 8:23 AM:
I had my own run in with DHS about 5 yrs. back. I WAS a foster parent and also had my 2 grandsons aged 2&3 living with me also due to thier parents issues. DHS was NOT involved in their lives. I was woken up one A.M. and here they are at my door, about 3 workers and 2 cops. To make a long story short they checked out my house saw that the babies were sleeping with me and had been they dissapproved of that ripped the kids out of my arms took them into foster care and LEFT the foster kid I had at the time in MY HOME! I swear to you this is true! I am sorry for what you are going through! Prior to all of this I was a foster parent for 10 years! The mother had made up a lie about me mistreating the kids and they believed her and that is why they came out. Go good old DHS!!!
Ridiculous wrote on Jan 1, 2009 9:46 PM:
We are supposed to put our precious children in the hands of another person while we work, but then we have to worry about what might happen while they are there. All it takes is a bad day for that provider and the kids will hear it. If it were my child, it would NOT be tolerated by any means! There are other forms of discipline besides hitting or spanking. Way too much of this going on!
Alexandria wrote on Jan 1, 2009 7:18 PM:
Heidi Moore is my mother, i'm am her eldest daughter. I'm almost 20. No one was there but my own family. Everyone should keep there comments about how to raise kids to themselves. MY MOTHER NEVER TOUCHED A DAYCARE KID. and how my mom treats her own children good/bad is our family's affairs. The police and DHS should not have been invovled. My brother is fine, just a little hurt feelings. Now because of the police involvement a 5 yr old boy and 9 yr old girl is crying themselves to sleep each night because they miss their mom so much. And that is hard for any child, and it with the Holidays. When you were their age did u have to miss christmas and new years with ur mom. You don't know the story, so don't think you do.
Say it Again Sam wrote on Jan 1, 2009 2:14 PM:
Again and again people assume or speculate on what "might" of happened. If you read the story correctly, you would have read that the charges were against her "own" child and not a clients child. What makes you think she "hit" anyone??? I didn't read that anywhere. Or does child abuse always mean "hitting"? Personally, I have to believe she is "innocent" until proven guilty and I for one don't want to speculate until the evidence is shown.
I almost feel sorry for anyone in this town being accused of anything, this fine community hangs them from the highest tree on rumor alone!!!!! Shame on you!

People make mistakes, parents are treated poorly, espically in coos county. DHS should play there; "we came we saw we conquered" role, in cases like these. The term "Abuse" is thrown around to lightly! Let's make examples out of Non-parent care providers who lack parental insticts/attachment.
DHS hardballs alleged abusers, well get to work!

To bad we can't raise kids the way our parents did and the parents in my age group 70 yrs old.Kids have it to easy now. Go outside and play. What are you talking about?

to Nan:
swatting "your child" may be your decision and perogative , but as a child care provider she is watching other people's children and it should NOT TO BE TOLERATED, period. If she has a problem with a child, she should talk to the parents, not take the physical repromand approach by spanking, hitting, etc, etc.

To Char: Did you read the whole story? You said "why does the World post one sided news?" If you did read the whole story the World did try to get the other side of the story but Ms. Moore wasn't home and her husband said he doubted she would comment on it anyway. Therefore, that being said all we have to go on are the police reports.
Nan wrote on Dec 29, 2008 12:01 AM:
What did she actually do that she is being charged for??? Not defending her by any means, but just wanting the facts. Is she a brutal child beater, or did she swat her child in public (like I have done so many a time) on the rump and get turned in for 'child abuse'. You know... once again- not defending her because I don't know the facts of her charges, but- this world is getting worse and worse with crime but yet it says that we have to have less and less rights as far as parenting goes. Pretty soon you won't be able to tell your kid 'No' without getting turned in!
what wrote on Dec 28, 2008 8:17 AM:
the news just stated she may not lose her day care license after all. surley that was an incorrect statement. if that is the case,will there be any type of a 'red flag' for parents that will be looking to her as a child care provider for their innocent children?
court date wrote on Dec 28, 2008 7:33 AM:
will she have a court date? will it be open to the public? maybe if these people were put on public display they would think twice about their actions in re: to child abuse.
wonder wrote on Dec 28, 2008 7:27 AM:
was this her first offense, or has this happened in the past. we should be concerned for the welfare of all the children that have been in her care. will they be interviewed too?
what now wrote on Dec 28, 2008 7:22 AM:
will she be able to go back home and do it again? 4 days of jail time? what does that indicate?

Isn't there a way to screen these people more effeciently before allowing them to care for the young and vulnerable. this isn't the first time this has happened in our area. parents beware. your young ones that are unable to communicate yet need protection from these evil ones.
