One of the things that I hate with traditional news organizations is that they sit on stories for days, weeks, even months. Blogger news does not do that, we publish what we know, when we know it. The Aaliyah Bedwell case seems to have been completely avoided by both Law Enforcement and the press.
Of course, it has not been avoided by BNN. I have no idea how many hours Jan and I have put into it. And as the saying goes ‘there is no smoke without fire’.
This is not a story, just a data dump
We are still waiting for a call back from the Auburn Police department, I guess they are too busy handing out traffic tickets, they have no time to talk to the press.
We did however learn a number of interesting things today. Take a look at this article. Now I will say that Associated Content in my mind is about as reliable as Wikipedia you can take this article a couple of ways. However, my own research shows that Placer County seems to be a pretty interesting place. With money and connections, it is indeed the Dukes Of Hazard!
We also talked to a good friend of Connie Bedwell, her version of the story is exactly what Connie has been saying. Sure it could be a set up, but I asked the all important question ‘Can I use your name’? She answered, ‘of course’. I will not release her name yet, she lives in the area, and I have some real reservations about the folks that are the ‘elected officials’. So for now lets call her Jane Doe.
Jane filled in a number of interesting facts in this case. she described the law enforcement in Placer county as a “Good ole boys clubâ€. This incidentally is not the first time I have heard this. It seems that the club involves several well connected families. Judges, Lawyers, and Police are all connected.
It just so happens that the person accused of sexual abuse of a three year old girl also is from a connected family. Go Figure!
If Jan and I are on a wild goose chase, so be it. But if we can save one little child, we will go out and celebrate.
There will be a bigger update tomorrow, we have a long list of people we need to talk to, and we have free long distance calling, no one is safe. You can duck us for a while, but eventually we will find you. Jan and I are doing this because we care. We have no monetary interest in the case, but we are bound and determined to get the truth. I will also put this plea out, if you know something about the case let us know. If you are scared about having your name used, we promise anonymity.
This is not about money, this is a child that may be in danger. If you have information call the Cops. Unfortunately the local cops in Auburn seem to have a bit of a bad reputation. So let us know, or call a reputable law enforcement outfit outside of Placer County.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackWow…how creepy…like something out of a bad horror flick…The Crooked County of Placer. My heart is breaking, seriously. How gross.
Did I read correctly that supervised visits with the daughter & ped were monitored by ther ped’s parents?? And the parents WATCHED??
Read the article. I’m still in awe. I honestly know little about the legal system but isn’t this mother & child intitled to another hearing…possibly in another court OUTSIDE of Placer??
They should be entitled to sue the crud out of this entire incestuous town for what they have done to Aaliyah. The details of this situation are even more disgusting than the human mind can comprehend, worse than a bad horror flick. Just wait until Jan and Simon speak to all of the witnesses. The world is going to be pooping their pants at the disgusting details and in utter shock at the absolute truth of the matter. Jan and Simon think that APD is avoiding them now…just wait until they do a better investigation then the police department and expose it for all to see. People are going to be hiding because they know they are going to be held accountable for their own part in helping this pig molest his baby. We have court tomorrow at 1 30 so pray for Connie and Aaliyah that this judge can read through the peds attorny’s BS. Thanks.
Unfortunately there are soooo many more horror stories similar to Aaliyahs…I have more of those stories at Cafemom.com/helpsaveaaliyah.I looked up each one and posted it there.
Does anyone else hear “Dueling Banjos” playing in the background?
Simon and Jan Thank God for the 2 of you. As I understand it, Connie has been screaming from the roof tops all this time. She has been ignored and railroaded at every juncture.
You two picked up the gaultlet and I am sure help is near for this baby. There is only one word needed to describe you, HERO.
I am sorry the stand you have taken has come at a price. Hopefully this case will come to a happy conclusion and this child will be safe. Without the two of you getting involved, this child’s future looks as bleak as her past.
Simon and Jan, thank you both for what your doing in this. I would like to get your opinion on some more of these we have gotten in. if your interested? We vet them as much as possible and I have a few, one is a father trapped into what appears a very similer situation? If you interested you can e-mail me at joey@childprotectioncommunity.com, or find me on skype at joeycpc username.
I commend you in picking this one up, and the other comment at cafe mom was correct this is happening everywhere. I do not want to blame the powers that be in all cases, let’s be real they are over burdened and underfunded and most are just burned out. That does not execuse the fact, perhaps a rotation system to give them a different role in the CPS or system as a whole is the answer, I mean how many of these day in and day out can one person handle before they become numb?
It is this numbness that I feel has become part of the problem!
Look forward to hearing from you if you have time, if not, thank you again for what your doing.

does Aalyiah have grandparents??? how can they sit back knowing whats going on..and im sure they do, things have had to have happened b4….how do they let thier gdaughter be abused??? do none of these people have a concince??? they might as well cover for a murder like the ants, i for one son, daughter, doesnt matter i could not sit by and let something happen to a child, mine or not…anyone with knowlege of these crimes against a child who sit and know should be punished along with the individual doing the abusing…makes me sick these children ask for nothing more than love and protection..they dont care if you rich or poor, good looking or not, as long as you love and care they love you back..im sorry it makes me so sad to hear that little voice and to realize what shes going thru and people in power are so cliquish they dont care about her…
The truth will come out no matter what. I’m glad that this is being covered and can follow up. I actually emailed the site on the weekend and Connie responded she has a court date I believe today. I hope all goes well. The child is the top priority. How many other children are at the mercey of a crappy judicial system?
I hope this moves forward fast and this get’s national attention.
Just a link I found curious
http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:1XymyDV9MoAJ:www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php%3Ft%3D83594+aaliyah+websleuths&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
This case seems somewhat sketchy. Why does she have to go to court and present yet another video? There have been people that have offered her help for free and she turned it down and wants cash only? Does a child have a price tag. I don’t know about this. I really feel bad for this child.
From what I understand none of the videos the mother has have ever been admitted into evidence. The court will not take her seriously.
She has also talked to several people, including Jan and Simon, and if I recall correctly, she said she has not ever been offered any free help.
There are many posts now from her actual friends and family that pretty much debunk a lot of the scam/hoax posts (at least for me they do).
They are scattered on various blogs on this site as well as other blogs. Takes a lot of reading to catch up on what all has been posted in the last week on this subject – just on this website alone.
The above link for websleuths only shows the first 5 posts. There are actually 70+ posts with much more sleuthing done on Aaliyahs case. As well as numerous agencies which WS’rs have contacted.
If you call Connie and ask her for my telephone # I’d be happy to talk to you about this travisty.
Hello Mr. Bedwell,
I just want to say that I am so very sorry about what is going on with Aaliyah and Connie. It must be so frustrating to be so far away. Hmmm, I’m assuming again….I just want you to know that I have them both in my prayers and am still doing all I can to help them. Thank you so much for posting here. And your signature on the petition made me cry so hard. When you get to hold Aaliyah again, I know it will be soon, please give her an extra little squeeze for me.

Take this right to the media and expose that crappy judicial system. Aaliyah today and another poor child tomorrow. I hope Jan contacts you for more details and what is happening currently.
Snarken: I’m sorry you obviously feel a certain way and express that feeling through a mere 5 posts mad by insignificant people. But more people feel opposite thank God and won’t walk away from this matter until we have answers & a safe conclusion for little Aaliyah Bedwell.

If you go to websleuths, you will see there are over 70 posts. Check you facts before making the comment about 5 posts.
I thought the OP was going to update this today? I want to help, truly, but there is so much conflicting information. Including response by local PD to emails from bloggers.
Mr Bedwell I read you said Ann Cloter, an aka of the atty actually a deceased person. Can you show me where you got that information?
I’m sorry for your pain
@ Praying for Aaliyah – WOW— a user name of “PRAYING FOR AALIYAH” yet your defensive, indignant and eager to point out the number of critics of Connie and the Video! Every time you curs give yourselves away to the true intent of your heart by your writings. So what’s your point 5, 70, 57,000 who cares the truth is going to come out.
My comment was about the 5 posters were that they emanated from locations of the pedophile, family and their friends and most of the posts originated from the city of Auburn, Ca. #165 ANN CLOTER, TEXAS was one of those…..despite “from Texas”.
My point was,
1.) This petition signer is a fake.
2.) The only “Ann Cloter of Texas, so far found is deceased.
So will the real ANN CLOTER from TEXAS please step forward with verifiable ID! Send a photocopy to Simon and Jan and I’m sure they’ll verify you exist. Until then I’m sticking with Pedophile’s attorney as the author. I’ve read 2 + years of the Pedophile’s Attorney’s drivel and her writing style is unmistakable.
@ LCoastMom; I can’t discuss how this information was obtained at this time due to an ongoing investigation of it origin and authorship. The very fact “she’s” not responded to my pointed letter regarding her petition writing should tell a discerning mind something.
Interesting. Social security death index lists no Ann Cloter. Why are people so defensive when asked to provide facts?
Yes, I am praying for Aaliyah. She appears to be a very troubled child for reasons we have yet to uncover. Either she is in fact being abused by her father, or she is being exploited by her mother. In either case, both are very traumatic for this poor child.
Since my post will likely be removed for requesting facts in the case, I will go back to lurking. In other words, unless it can be backed with facts it is nothing other than an opinion.
Best of luck to Aaliyah. I pray she is lucky enough to have TWO loving parents.
You accusatory people are going to have egg on your face when the real truth comes out. Bedwell is a frootloop. Trust me, I know this first hand
dc….I have had egg on my face with much less at stake. Anytime allegations of abuse are levied against a parent or anyone for that matter, I will always come down on the side of the child..ALWAYS.
I have read everything I could get my hands on that Mr. Bedwell has written. He sounds intelligent, articulate, with extensive knowledge of this case, and honest, but most importantly he sounds like an angry grandfather whose hands are tied. He sounds frustrated and outraged about this whole case. I am positive he believes his grandbaby is being abused.
The fact that he can hold it together at all, speaks for his sanity. He is the most caring “fruitloop” (btw you mispelled fruit) on this page. Hang in there Mr. Bedwell, help is surely on the way. I am so so sorry for all you and your family are going thru and pray it will be over soon have a happy ending.
Monkeygirl, Tim Bedwell has posted on this page. He is Aaliyah’s maternal grandfather. I don’t think he has sat back and done nothing. He knows what is happening to his grandbaby but is also restricted by the same court that placed this baby in the home of her abuser.
If he went off and took the law into his own hands, he would be condemmed, as would the mother. The maternal side of Aaliyah’s family are between a rock and a hard spot, there is no way they can go, without being judged and raked over the coals.
I wonder what anyone of us would do things, if we had to walk in this family’s shoes. This is a nightmare for all of them. I seriously wish people would think about how hard this must be.
On top of breaking the law, if they did what they would like to do, the life of this young child is hanging by a thread. What would you really do?????? I don’t even want to think about having to make these kind of decisions.
Let me educate the world on the way the pedophile clan operates; they are extremely easy to spot…
They call the people telling THE TRUTH names such as “Crazy, mentally ill, munchausen syndrome, fruitloop etc.” And have a very charming fake concern of why they are even blogging on the internet. It is a tactic of a liar to call the honest person “crazy.”
They try to convince people this is a scam to try to make sure the mother cant afford an attorney in Aaliyah’s defense to present the overwhelming evidence to the system. Another Abuser tactic is too control their victims money.
They bash the living heck out of the mother, yet never address the issues or things the baby has stated. They spin your mind and focus away from the real issue.
They will constantly try to sway people away from helping the mother (An abuser tactic). Abusers always have certain things in their intenions such as ISOLATING the victim so the victim cant get help, SILENCING the victim so the victim cant get help, and MANIPULATING everyone around them to turn on the victim so the victim cant get help, and last but not least THEY PLAY THE POOR VICTIM THEMSELVES. They try to confuse people with whom the victim truely is so nobody cares to support the true victim.
Also there is a saying about abusers that rings true in every case… “They look in the mirror and see their dirty face yet proceed to wash the mirror.” They blame the true victim for everything they are truely doing… for example…in this case the pedophile claims the mother is trying to keep the child from him…yet in reality he is using that exact lie to proceed to actually do that very thing to the mother. Everything the abuser uses as his reasoning against the mother is exactly his agenda (remember that). For example he cheated on her, so he blamed her, he has used cocaine so he says she does, he is an alcoholic so he says she is, he is abusing his baby so he says she is, he is a lying manipulator so he says she is…etc. His goal is to throw out so many crossfiring accusations that nobody can see the truth. So pay very close to peoples writings. Its not hard to spot the peophile clan. They come up with the most off the wall lies. Make them prove what they are saying…if they have an email claiming the mother only wants money (an outright lie) make them present this email…oh wait they cant…it doesnt exist.
They cant defend themselves with facts and truth so therefore result in the name calling.
They have a goal to divide and conquer. Notice how he “Anne Cloter” tries to turn the mothers boyfriend against her. Abusers think they own their victims so they are extremely jealous if a new man comes into their victims life. In abusers minds the victim should have zero independence and should solely have to depend on the abuser.
Abusers operate on this in everything they do…CONTROL and ENTITLEMENT. They try to control the entire victims life and they think they are entitled to do it.
If you see any of these signs you know who they are…keep your eyes peeled. The mothers family and friends use their names because what they are saying is the truth. You never see the clan putting their name to their “stories” because they wont stand for the lies they tell.
Also everyone blogging on this site keep your eyes on the look out for this one thing… Jan and Simon are trying to dig for the TRUTH to come out… one problem the pedophile clan has with that is they dont want the truth to come out. So in the pedophile clans mind they see someone helping the mother… watch for the isolation…it will be coming on thick.
We thank you all for helping the truth come out…
Aaliyah, we are going to save you from daddy and grandpa.
To the pedophile clan, something you will never understand…
When you hold fast to THE TRUTH even the very words of the enemy defeat themselves.
C. Bedwell
prayingforAaliyah and dc you haven’t yet answered my questions what’s the hold up??
found this for you on petiton site. # 815: 12:48 pm PDT, May 7, C Perkins, California
I am one of the professionals that the mother has turned down. I was willing to help this child in an unbiased professional manner for free. I do not know any parties involved and have been accused in siding with the father which is a complete and outright fabrication. I do not feel the mother is being truthful and there should be a child psychologist that can evaluate this child to determine the source of the accusations! I will be supplying the new judge with an affidavit of my own with respect to the interactions & emails between the mother and myself! I am determined to get to the real truth!
Go to the petiton site there seem to be a number of questionable comments there stating they are hard facts and a matter of court docs, has anyone noticed they have stopped pushing the dobation thing, i wonder if paypal can tell us how much they have collected????
Thank you to all who yearn for the truth of this matter to come out and are defending Aaliyah, pushing the powers that be for her safety. Connie’s well able to refute the B.S. coming from the Pedophile clan, and will continue in every lawful way possible to do just that. We ALL truly appreciate your help, steadfastness, courage and most of all YOUR TIME & EFFORTS!
AALIYAH’S CRIES FOR HELP WILL NOT BE SILENCED!
NOW look who’s doing exactly what he requested the court gag/restraining order to prevent Connie from doing.
Pedophile clan and your supporters… NOTHING HAS CHANGED the fight for the truth goes on and sooner or later the TRUTH ALWAYS WINS!
Im curious,
#835 Guess What, California & #815 C.Perkins are liars, lets see you pedophile clan do this, “Show Connie’s turned down free help!” Funny Perkins never said just what that free help consisted of and we will be looking forward to seeing, “I will be supplying the new judge with an affidavit of my own with respect to the interactions & emails between the mother and myself! I am determined to get to the real truth!” Yah Yah you’re a blow hard Pedophile supporter. THE PEDOPHILE IS GOING TO PRISON! And actually, donations are UP! Thank you. Keep pushing your lies it’s polarizing peoples stances and their jumping off the fence of indecision. Thank you for your help. YOU MEAN IT FOR EVIL BUT GOD IS TURNING TO GOOD…Thank you so very much.
Mr. Bedwell,
I missed your earlier post to me.
What exactly was your question?
I replied here: I will repaste.

It’s 4:30 am here and I am pretty exhausted. Do you want an honest answer Mr. Bedwell?
I will be happy to answer sometime over the weekend.
I will say now that much of what has been offered you and your family has been ridiculed and attacked as ‘clansmen supporting pedofiles’ if an opinion or suggestion differs that yours or how the Bedwell family sees fit on how to proceed with this case.
I honestly don’t want to waste my time if I’m going to be offering an opinion for batting practise.
I’ll say this… if you would take the time to fight for Aali that you spend attacking those trying to help or focusing so much on Connies ex you might move forward a bit.
What I have to offer is going to be along the lines of coparenting, parenting and such… Not any criminal aspect you might be seeking.
Enough for tonight…..
When I saw that “signature” from Ann Cloter, the first name that popped in my head was Ann Coulter…..I thought it was suspiscously (sp) close to her name. And I believe that Connie’s family has been asking the same thing. Post the documents or whatever someone may have that Connie ever refused help from any professional. That’s just how I read their posts.
Well praying for Aaliyah,
You tell us how to coparent with a pedophile…
How rediculous.
Let’s put your child with a child molester and tell you that we will offer you coparenting advice.
DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO SCROLL UP????
I used to be a social worker in Sacramento County and Placer County is known for exactly what the mom is claiming. The Family Court there is one of the worst and attorneys from Sacramento County hated if they had to go to Placer County Court. The entire town is part of the “good ‘ol boys club”, not just law enforcement. I have seen the video and this little girl has been sexually abused. If it’s not by the father (though I do believe it is), then it’s by someone who has access to her when in his care. The fact that they are continuing to allow her to be in the custody of her father, without fully investigating this allegation is not quite right. I really do not think the mother is out for personal financial gain in this. There ARE free services for some people, but usually if you have any kind of a job, then you don’t qualify for the “free” services. “Local” services are probably as corrupt as the rest of the town. She will need to be picky about an attorney because family court is a tight knit group even without the corruption. This is the fight of her daughters life. I am sure she wants to find the best attorney she can and one that has a high success rate. Most of them aren’t cheap. Just my 2 cents.
QueenBeeYatch, What can we do as concerend citizens? You said you used to work as a social worker. What can we do to help, what should we not do? Thank you so much for your post.
Mr Bedwell, thank you. You were speaking of the same Ann Cloter as I was able to find. I miss read somewhere that Ann Cloter had been deceased for a couple of years. In fact the Ann Cloter in TX that you referred to has been dead for a very long time. She is the only Ann Cloter I have found. I’m wondering if maybe the person who wrote this letter didn’t accidentally spell the name wrong, but once out there was stuck, as how often do we misspell our own last name. Ann being a very common girls name and many names close to the spelling of Cloter would turn up multiple results. (Coulter, Colter etc)
Good luck and bless baby Aali.
Wow, this is a classic case of Parental Alienation. This is a form of child abuse ,and I’m sure this is why she does not have custody. If Connie was as smart she says she is, why didn’t she research this before she began this campaign of denigration against the father. And, no, I’m not a pedophile.
