Pray for (Minor Child)
Opinon and Commentary by Jonathan P. Glassel
This is perhaps, the most disturbing aspect of the whole Trulson Affair, assuming the Sheriff's Department gave advance warning to Darrel.
The minor child was told by Darrel that if the cops came, minor child would be placed in foster care for months, possibly a year would pass before she could return to New York if she relayed what really happened on Wallmark Drive last July to the authorities.
Darrel told the child he had contacted a lawyer who would make sure that this would happen while indicating the child would never see her friends again.
Obviously, this threat was made prior to the Deputy's arrival as the minor child did as she was instructed.
So, who tipped off Darrel? Was it someone in the Sheriff's Department? Perhaps, his ex let it slip out, perhaps she left a message on Darrel's answering machine when she was demanding to speak to her child.
Darrel's Ex-Wife writes:
"Thanks Jon I appreciate all you have done and your story really touched my heart. My daughter only weighs 80 pounds right now and both girls are in therapy so I live with the pain every day. Lauren is working on her letter..........you will get that soon. I will stay in touch. Thank you again!"
This minor child went through something traumatic that made her stop eating!
We will probably never know, we can only pray her swift recovery.
Thanks, Jon
