What I lost - $250 and my trust in people online
What I thought - story was about child being abused
What I discovered - I was duped into believing Connie Bedwell was truthful. Her father Tim Bedwell is a convicted criminal. Her sister Cara helped her drum up false charges and her boyfriend Darryl Payne (who earns a lot of money) is helping her scam others online too instead of paying for his girlfriend's mess.
I found this comment listed below - after reading auburn journal where Connie Bedwell was interviewed at length.

In a child custody case (objectively speaking) the courts don't take a child from the mother very often. Lets look at the "Connie Bedwell Situation" a little closer shall we:
Situation #1, Connie used to have full custody of Aaliyah. After the 1st round of false accusations by Connie came back unfounded for physical abuse, the courts gave dad supervised visitation. You know why the accusations came back unfounded, because it didn't happen, she wasn't abused by him.
Situation #2, Connie got upset when the father stopped paying all of her bills, gee what happened next, she accused him of being an alcohol abuser and a druggie. After a full assessment by a professional certified by the court, guess what, the professionals certified that the father was not an alcoholic or a druggie, surprise, surprise.
Situation #3, This did not make Connie happy, as a result father got unsupervised visits and the courts felt as though he deserved more time with the child, guess what this meant, less child support for Connie, and maybe she might even have to go to work. You'll never guess what happened next, Connie accused the father of child abuse. 11 negative CPS investigations later, guess what happened, no way, the CPS supervisor stopped responding to Connie's calls, you want to know why, because there was no child abuse going on. This is incredible, I know, but guess whats next, oh wait there is only really one thing left to do, you got it, accuse him of being a child molester.
Wow, after reading the incredible piece of investigatory work done by the geniuses at the Auburn Journal, (insert sarcastic laugh here) you know how the story goes, the APD did a full investigation and turned anything questionable to the DA's office, and this is the most shocking part, the father was cleared of all accusations for lack of evidence and the case was closed. Do you people understand what it means to be cleared as a suspect, IT MEANS THAT THEY DID NOT DO WHAT THEY WERE ACCUSED OF. (District Attorney's don't usually clear a suspect unless there is nothing there, it is kind of their job, and they are pretty darn good at it)
For some reason the courts, Professional psychologists (who may know a little more than we do), the DA Office, APD, can see through a coached videotape that was obviously rehearsed (is it wierd that every sentence almost starts with the word "sometimes" and the worm is green or orange (maybe cause its a toy that the 1 year old is referring to). One more interesting fact, Connie used to stay at home all day with the child with no one else around and had plenty of "opportunity" (legal term) to slant anything that the child said and turn it into anything she wanted. Newsflash, 1 1/2 year olds like to mimic anything that their parents say because they really don't understand what is going on yet.
When everyone qualified to listen and investigate tells you there's nothing happening and that there is no abuse going on, what is the only other option left, I know, you appeal to internet geeks who don't know you and don't care what the facts are, they are just dying for anything to sink their teeth into to make a story.
One more juicy piece of info that the reporter of the year candidate Jennifer Gee failed to include in her compelling piece on poor miss Bedwell, was that the Bedwells have an interesteing upbringing. They were raised to hate their own mother because she fought to bring them back from Jordan when they were taken against the custody order by the father (Self proclaimed phrophet and leader of the "wierdo" clan) It has been close to ten years since she has had any relationship with her own mother (obvoiusly except when she needs money or help) So just to clarify, Connie hates her own mother for fighting for her rights as a parent, and now Connie's life work is to do the same? It seems as though Connie would think of her mom as a hero for being her "advocate" just as she claims to be, instead of a "villian" (CAN ANYONE SAY "ALTERIOR MOTIVE", OR "REVENGE")
I would like to close with this, the father has spent thousands of dollars clearing his name of everything in the book, he has had his daughter taken away from him each time Connie cried wolf, only to be returned each time that the accusations were unfounded, and now that Connie's mental abuse is out of the picture, he and his daughter have an amazing relationship and love eachother very much. The child has advanced so much since he has taken full custody of her that there is no question that she was abused, not by the father as the courts have established, but by the mother whose relentless coaching (countless hours of interrogations) and manipulation set her back in her maturation.
Connie, there are alot of people out there in our community that know you, but you continue to rely on people that have never met you for support, that seems kind of strange to me, maybe because they only know your side of the story (include the Auburn Journal here) and you refuse to tell them the real story. Or is it because everyone outside of your "cult" has been tired of your constant lies for too long and they just couldn't keep chasing the tales that you tell. When your dad was interpreting the bible to you as a kid he should have told you about the little boy who cried wolf instead. People eventually stop listening to you when everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.
I applaud you for taking on the entire system and telling each one of these people that they don't know how to do their jobs because you are a licensed family court judge, lawyer, doctor, child psychologist, social worker all in one, isn't that correct? These people dedicated their lives to attaining these degrees and certifications but you know more than them based on your extensive academic career. Can you tell me what your degree is in? I bet its in the same field that you practice, "a whole lot of nothing!!!" Good luck with your attack on Placer County, this isn't the television that you watch all day, this is real life, these people work hard and do a great job keeping this community safe, let me know how that works out for you!!!
I just hope your best friends Simon and Jan stand by you when the truth comes out because they truly care about you, and don't turn on you because they were just trying to make names for themselves.
To the father, we love you and will continue to back you till the day we die because we know that you are innocent and that justice will prevail. I have never met a more courageous, charismatic, honest person than you, and everyone who knows you and cares about you stands right behind you and we won't let any one-sided, negligent, pathetic excuse for jounalism by at the Auburn Journal change that. The father of this child has not, and will not ever commit a crime against his child and only time will tell for you Ms. Bedwell.

TO SUM UP - bloggernews.net was following this case vigorously until July 2. Then it's all been silence. That seems very very suspicious to me that the one media BNN following this story with such resolve dropped the mother's 'story' like a hot potato.
There are real people all around we can help and give money to. I'd stay as far away from Connie Bedwell and her family as possible.
