Every once in a while, I find myself covering a story that gets bigger than what I imagined it would be. Not so much because of the horrible crime committed- but basically due to the incredible lack of human decency committed by the person (sometimes persons) involved.
I find the entire Nancy Dyer story to be sort of like the fruit cake your aunt Betty gives out at Christmas- no matter how hard you try, you can't get rid of it. You feel guilty if you pass it up for another dessert... and yet you don't have the courage to just accept the fact that it's there- and someone has to deal with it.
I have repeatedly read the forums going on at the Indy Star covering this sad cause of unbelievable neglect on Dyers part- and of course I've traced through her online activities and honestly folks- I get the disgusted feeling that this is a Jerry Springer story gone bad.
However, it's a story, and clearly it's one of extreme interest- not just because of the behavior of the adults, but because this case involves a number of children who will have to survive this. There are five children, and one on the way; that desperately need a chance at a stable life filled with people who are willing to put the children's lives first. And because there is such an extreme interest in this case, it seems completely fitting to point you all over to a new blog- filled with pdf's that follow Nancy's online path- past just the MySpace account, and her attempts to defend herself. Although I have participated in sharing some of the information found there- there is a ton of information that the writer has painfully dug up, and painstakingly published in a more easily accessible format. Without further ado- I urge you to take a look at Antimidas' Blog, as he has been more than willing to accept Aunt Betty's fruit cake.

I'm ashamed to admit I've read the majority of the postings there on all the stories they've run about this.
The ignorance and mob mentality there as well as the petty off-topic bickering that has evolved makes it a very depressing thing to read.
But still, like a train wreck, I continue to look at the unfolding drama.
I haven't exactly formed an opinion on all this yet. I don't know that there is an easy answer and certainly not one everyone can agree with.
I appreciate your forward-thinking in saving all the available information from the parties involved so one can make an informed decision away from the bloodthirsty townfolk roaming the forums at the IndyStar.
I don't think the postings there say anything about the state of Indiana or the town of Indianapolis. I think it says something about us as human beings.
I have tried to remain a neutral observer so as to see all sides of this story, but it is difficult.
a nations blind eyes to a broken system of justice. After following
this the past week feeling so helpless for these children of Nancy Dyer, while watching CNN news with Nancy Grace a story about a mother putting her 11 mo. old baby in a gas oven came on she is charged with first degree child abuse? I ask myself why wasn't the charge at least attempted murder? Her bond is $15.000. Truly blows my mind! Thanks again Lilo keep up the good fight! Just an Indiana Girl
This has been a difficult case, due in part to many people offering conflicting stories in regards to these children, and Nancy.
It is a tragic shame that any child would have to endure these sort of cases, and even worse that people would intentionally attempt to keep them in a situation that will only lead to them suffering more.
