I heard on BOORTZ the other day that she (whooping mom) went to Vermont to see a doctor so her daughter could get the best care.

I have a TIN-FOIL Hat question. Is this the SAME girl we all saw in the tape, maybe a look-a-like replaced her.

Actually, Mommie Dearest said she first went to Maryland, then to New Jersey before she and the child headed back to Indiana. I'm not sure where she dyed her hair to change her appearance (she admitted this to either Greta or Connie Chung), but she said she took Martha to a doctor in New Jersey (Fairfield, I do believe), and the pictures of a naked Martha were taken there. From what I've heard from various sources, the pictures were too blurry to be used, but a person somewhere in the photo-developing pipeline called the cops because he or she thought these pictures were child porn.

Yeah I wonder this as well, seeing as they are inbred in that clan. I wonder why did she go there and then come back--surely the borders are porous enough she could cross over or she could have gone back to her clan in Texas, but why there? One of her cohorts working that area and has a daughter of similar age and looks, after all we don't really have very good pics of the child. Oh that's right, some think she went to see some exalted physician, one she had to get to in a couple days drive just to be sure her daughter was allright, forget of course that her daughter could have died on the way there if she was in fact seriously injured.

Want to hear tinfoil? Like another poster said, if this is in fact the child, I'm beginning to think this was a big scam. Perhaps this is not what she wished to happen, but maybe she was hoping to get in an altercation in the parking lot and sue the hell out of someone or take the store for an insurance claim when SHE got hurt in a takedown. She wasn't counting on the incident being taped or that anyone would come after her for abuse. I mean this is the same claim that faked a rape and assault at a Disney hotel to collect on insurance. I don't find it beyond the pale that they would set an incident up like this to potentially commit insurance fraud. I still am skeptical myself of whether she landed any of those punches. Just seems like a set up, but like I said, I dont think she counted on the public outcry or videotape.

Excellent question that had also occurred to me, although my thoughts were running along the lines of a subbed twin.

It's not a tin foil hat question. I'm waiting for authorities to explain how they're sure it's the same kid. A poster on Lucianne yesterday said her son had been talking to a boy at high school, who was formerly with a Travellers group, and the first thing he said was "It's not the same kid; it's how they operate; the first thing they'd do would be to switch her for another kid". They're professional scam artists, and frequently escape prosecution and/or imprisonment by switching around the identities of adults and teens; why not the same strategy with a little kid?
