I am not a coward hiding behind anyone, I never said anything about anyone being innocent and I never said I was a buddy of "Richard" but I do know that he doesn't even go by Richard so it funny how all you people say you know him but you keep calling him by the wrong name. Believe me I would not hide anyone who was accused of anything like this so get over yourself, just as star 28 you want to blame everyone else and you need to point the blame in the right direction. I am with everyone else, he needs to come back and face the charges against him but I would be a sorry MOTHER if I let someone like star28 tell me I don't know my kids and maybe I should set down and talk to them. I will not tollerate any crap from any of you hipocrits. You all know if this was the other way around you would have a hard time dealing with the things people are saying, like I said I am in no way siding with anyone. As far as who I am I will let you know somewhere other than on here but lets see how much of a coward everyone else is!!!

very well said happychick i hate how ignorant people say we cant judge like they coulda seen him doing somthing and turn there head because they cant judge this man is a coward and so is anyone that defends him and rc2010 isnt gonna tell you who he is because hes a coward just like his ole buddy richard they will find this guy and probaly already know where he is and if any of these scum bags are helping to hide him there in trouble to

Star, my heart goes out to you and your child. I know it took a lot of courage for your child to come to you and tell you, but thankfully you have an open enough relationship that your child could tell you that someone had hurt him/her. I know it takes a lot of strength to come on here and see folks defending this guy with comments like, "wait till the truth comes out", when he is off running like a coward. You are brave for letting these folks on here know you are the parent of the violated child. I am appalled by the comments on here basically putting you and your child to blame when a grown man is running from the law and refuses to answer for his charges. Innocent until proven guilty is such an ambiguous statement. Does that mean that as long as he is running from the law, that we should assume he is innocent? So in his case, its "Innocent until caught and then proven guilty". If its just as simple as Innocent until proven guilty, then how does law enforcement have the legal merit to arrest anyone for any crime if they have not been convicted yet? No its called reasonable suspicion. They are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Which means that the jury is not to make judgement until the case is handed to them at the end of a trial. There has to be enough suspicion of guilt to get the person arrested, charged, and tried. So yes I have heard of innocent until proven guilty, but don't take it out of context. Obviously this parent felt there was enough suspicion to involve authorities. Obviously there was enough suspicion and evidence for the police and the prosecutor to decide to charge him.

People on here like to throw around the "don't judge" but they are quick to judge your actions on here. Let me tell you right now, if someone harmed my child, I would be doing the exact same thing as you are and getting on any forum I could find putting as much heat on him as I could. So to you I commend you for that. As parents we are our childrens primary advocates. If one of my children came to me saying someone had harmed them, you can bet I would believe my child. The police are there to investigate, its the responsibility of the parent to notify the authorities when a child makes such statements. You obviously know your child better than anyone and know that something bad had happened.

People need to stop crucifying the victims and put the heat on the perpetrators. For anyone to tell you that you need to stop or shut up, I would tell them, not until the man that hurt your child was in custody! It may be innocent until proven guilty, but that only stands if he comes and answers to the charges. I hate it for his family, they are pretty much victims too, but you cannot allow the feelings of grown ups to interfere with your duties to do everything you can to get this guy caught.

Star, even though I do not know you, you and your child have my sympathies, and my full support! I feel sorry for his family, but to my knowledge they are mostly adults so they can just decide not to read it if it bothers them.

Your child and you cannot just decide to forget about it. It is with you and him/her for the rest of your lives. I'm sure with counseling and support that your child will recover from this, but I can completely understand your anger. Just please don't let it consume you. There are a lot of folks on here wanting to cast blame on you, and judge you, but its not your picture that I see in the paper that the cops are looking for.

Hang in there Star. He will be caught, hopefully before he harms another child.

im so.... sick of this crap on here and sick of some of u people! I dont want or need any of your attention I get plenty with my CHILDREN. I just want Richard to be found an face what hes done to my child! I dont think hes dead I think he left his truck just to throw the cops off.. hes just playing games! because hes GUILTY!"rc2010" I could care less if u make your threats or whatever u want to call what your doing "rc2010" and I love how you say I have LOWER myself! my "CHILD" gets messed with and im pissed off because of what he has done and then he runs away so now I have lower myself! REALLY.....WOW u got me on that one. and being your going to tell us your name then go ahead an do it im still waiting.... and waiting.... I do need help im starting to have anger issues because of people like u! and Richard!"rc2010"

Isn't wonderful how children are just like adults in how honest they are? That way you don't need a jury (or evidence) at all.

pete31820021

i would be the same way with my kids but this on here has went on to long...on one even know if hes even alive hello his truck was found not him...

STAR 28

I don't mind telling you who I am I have no reason to hide like some people. If I was threatening you, you would know it but if you wish to call me names and say things regarding my children then you need to have the guts to say it to me. Knowing how you act on here there is no telling what kind of bullcrap you would go tell the police that I said or did to you and once again you could get attention. Sorry won't make it that easy for you but it will come out who you are and everyone will know. I have not said anything negative towards your child and will not lower myself to your level to do so, I hope he/she gets all the help he/she needs and I think you need some too.

im all my kids have im not going to do something like that then my kids would have no one.God will give him what he needs an ill still have my kids im leaving it in gods hands that way I win no matter what.

dont need a jury for simple math 2 2=4 if it was my child i wouldnt wait for the jury my childs word would be enough

we are not the jury.. shall not judge.. say nothing at all if you have not a good thing to say..

HappyGoLucky

thank you for being understanding unlike most people on here.rc2010 please give me your name and number would love to talk to you being u are making threats!pete31820021 thank you for standing up for my family im not sure whats wrong with these people.I think they have lost there mind.first this happens to my child then I have to read all this crap.I guess its ok for richard to do this to my child and its ok for them to run there mouth to me im sorry but its "NOT" okay where I come from!and for doguelover the PI is not looking for me they know where im at!there looking for richard so I guess the PI is not impressed with him!I have nothing to hide they can pull all this up when we go to court, that is if richard ever shows up!and for his family if I say something to hurt your feelings then just skip over my name. so yall go ahead an run your mouth about me and my family it makes yall look real good in the public EYE.. gababe dont worry I have plenty to say if he shows up for a court day.

Star if you are really this child's mother and these accusations are true, you are not helping your cause by posting all of this online. I do not think the DA would be very impressed by your actions. Not to mention what a field day Mr. Gilbert's attorney is going to have with all of your comments if anything ever does come out of this. I am NOT taking up for Mr. Gilbert, but who knows what his state of mind was when her left, especially if her knew he was about to be accused of something he may or may not have done. Star it simply amazes me that you have so much time to be responding to everyone's comments. If it were MY child and this HAD occurred I would be spending every waking moment getting my child the treatment they are going to need to deal with this long term, but it seems you are more concerned with slamming the general public about what they have to say. Maybe you should be focusing your energy on your child and the the courts along with authorities deal with Mr. Gilbert! Sadly it is beginning to seem like you are enjoying the attention which in my book is SICK! Last time I checked people were INNOCENT until proven GUILTY! I guess that does not apply in your area!

@Pete

I have not heard one person on here who said they r family say that he IS innocent. They r only asking that he not be crucified until he is proven guilty. They have all said that they don't know if he is guilty and that if he is guilty he needs to come face it. Making accusations against his family is not helping anyone.

I stand by a statement I said earlier in this blog - innocent until proven guilty. I'm not going to say anything bad about Mr. Gilbert. I don't know him nor the situation. All I know is running is not the answer. Innocent or guilty, I'm sure it's hard for Mr. Gilbert's family and friends to deal with this too.

STAR...What I do want to say is that if this did happen to your child, I am truly sorry. Having been through sexual abuse by an uncle, I can completely relate. I was a child when it happened to me, and it happened multiple times. However, I was too scared to tell my parents. I didn't tell them until many years later because I was scared of conflict within the family. Does that make me a bad person? Heck no! Does that make my parents bad parents? Heck no! They aren't the ones who abused me. My uncle did and that is the bad person and the one to blame.

For those questioning why this child would be with "Richard"....People want to believe that other people are good until they are proven wrong. It's not in our nature to think someone is bad unless something happens to make us think otherwise. I can only imagine that it was and is still hard for my parents to think that they should have been able to prevent the abuse. I imagine you, Star, are having some of those same thoughts, and I hope you are able to come to terms with that. I can tell by your posts that you are angry now, and that is perfectly normal. It's part of processing what has happened.

If it helps any, the abuse I went through did not negatively affect me for life. It's something that happened, and it's in my past. I had a wonderful childhood, did great in school, went to college, have a successful career and a wonderful marriage. I hope your child is able to have the same as they grow up.

what kinda wierd buncha people are you to blame the victim and the victims mother first off if this dude wasnt guilty he wouldnt have ran plan and simple if hes so innocent why dont he stand up and say that instead of all his family saying it and him running

couldn't have siad it better myself RC!!!

STAR... you are getting offended by the things that other people are saying.. well, don't you think the family of this man is getting offended by the things you are saying? If he is guilty, then yes, he deserves to be punished, however, his family does not deserve to hear all the nasty things you have to say. he hasn't been proven guilty yet. why don't you save all your comments for when you go to court?

STAR 28

First of all the "real people" are obviously hypocrits!!!! As far as me knowing what went on no I don't and I don't claim to but it really bothers me to see a "parent" lashing out at others just to make themselves feel good, sounds like you have some anger towards yourself. As far as me being an idiot I think you have that backwards try looking in the mirror, you're PATHETIC!!!!! If you would like to start calling names I can give you my name and number and lets see what you have to say then! Myself as well as others on here have heard enough out of you so unless you want to say it to my face then I suggest your SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!!!!!!

county&proud

thank you but I dont need or want any of them to feel sorry for me.there very fake selfish people

thank you to all the real people

I dont want you or any one else to feel sorry for me!and dont even act like u know what happen or went down.if u know him then theres a good chance u know me.I look at this every chance I get to see what you people have to say this is my "CHILD" and I will do whatever I can to defend him you stupid idiot! yall put stuff on here to me or about my child or how richard is this and that. and yall think im going to sit back an not comment where your wrong!and dont worry your pretty lil head about my child or why he was there or what the situation was. your to stupid to understand so dont even try. get a life an stay out of ours!

star28

it seems like you want people to feel sorry for you, sorry but if this really happened to your child I feel for your child. If you have better things to do then don't post everytime someone says something you don't like. My question is you said you never know what goes on behind closed doors why would your five yr old behind a closed door with a grown man? This is a bad situation for both families and I hope that everything happens the way it should and that your child can recover from this. Don't say that his family would not do this or that because like you said they don't know you or your child and you don't know them so don't make accusations towards them.
