Feb 28, 2008 | 10:49 AM So you went on her property to harass her? You are not the police, just a street reporter. It is true that is woman is scum, however if you were to go on my property my German Shepherd would be the least of your worries. Next time stay on the sidewalk. You cowering away did make for a funny 2 seconds of viewing. You "investigative reporters" are a funny bunch. With that said…that woman should have charges brought against her.

First of all, mighty, how was Mike harassing her? I saw the piece on the news, and I didn't see any such thing going on. Second--she could have asked him to leave--I didn't hear her ask him to do so. She just went to her door and sicked her mutt on him. Anyone with half a brain, would just walk away, go in the house and shut the door behind her!!! My guess is that the reporter would get the hint! Do you realize she could be arrested for such a stupid thing? Goes to show--she is a whack job. She should be in jail. What she did to that little girl's family is despicable! Wonder how she would feel if circumstances were reversed? She is most definitely a piece of garbage.

Aroundthepound... I wish I could say this situation is resolved. But even the day after our report aired, it is not.

According to Sophia's dad, Marissa offered to pay $100 a month until her debt is paid, but still hasn't paid him anything. And he tells me she has not returned his phone calls.

Actions speak louder than words.

I have known Ms. Massey almost her whole life and know the situation in question well and am horrified by the slander, half truths, one sidedness and sheer narrow-mindedness that I am seeing in this 'arena'. Perhaps, it would help if I let you know who you are slandering. Ms. Massey is a single, hard working mother dedicated to her children. She is always willing to lend a hand to those in need as seen in her offer to do someone at work a favor, to ask around to try to sell some cook books for him. As times were tight most of us could not afford to purchase one, although her family did purchase a couple. The money for the sold books was handed to the co-worker as she continued to attempt to sell the others. When she had exhausted all possible customers, she mailed the rest of the cookbooks back. I WAS WITH HER WHEN SHE MAILED THEM! I am abhorred that you would drag a good person’s name through the mud without researching your 'facts'. It was, in FACT, a simple postal error blown completely out of proportion. Yes, showing up on the lawn of a person’s new home uninvited and unwarranted when she and her young children have been traumatized enough with the current horrible dissolution and uprooting of their family, is considered harassment. Yes, shouting and shining lights as the children try to take root in their new neighborhood quietly as you point the finger, is harassment. Mike… this is bad form, even for you. To answer you Kayleisnana, don't believe everything you see on the news, he was asked to get off of her property several times before the dog was allowed to d

Shauni--I have been around long enough, and am most certainly intelligent enough, to know not to believe EVERYTHING I see on the news--written or verbal. However, what I saw of MS. Massey's actions, I have to admit, they spoke VOLUMES!!! That was how I formed my judgment. Then--she was summoned to court, but didn't show up.--she "never got the notice". She mailed the remaining books back to Sophia's family--but a "simple postal error" prevented them from arriving. What does that tell me? No one is slandering Ms Massey--She is being judged ONLY by her actions(inaction).I am "abhorred" by her lack of compassion and consideration of Sophia's family. Think how they are feeling! I think her father is being more than fair. He has said that this is not about the money--it's all about her actions!!!!

This is why I hesitate to give money to a fund unless it is set up in trust at a bank. There are so many dishonest people out there. I think what she did was wrong I doubt he they will see any of the money back from this women. Again this is a other way for the public to be aware who you give your money too for a charity or cause. Thank you Mike.

I have left at least 2 more posts for this string that have yet to post, and I find it funny that Fox 25 posts the negative ones that support their suppositions quite quickly while those of us that defend the woman you are slandering can barely get a post on here to save our lives... perhaps they are as short sided as the judge that presided and threw out everything that witness for the defense said...

slander (n.) Oral communication of false statements injurious to a person's reputation.
slander (v.) To utter a slander about. See synonyms at malign
slander (v.) To utter or spread slander.

I don't know anyone here except the woman I grew up with who has never stolen anything ever, and as I recall and reread, I have not passed judgement on anyone here as that is God's job not mine, or yours.

Shauni, Kayleisnana is right about one thing, this is a written media so any untruth would actually be closer to defamation of character or libel... a much more actionable position should you be interested...
