I am writing this to all so they are aware.

About a month ago, my daughter who is interested in the Caylee Anthony case.  That is the murdered toddler here in Orlando Fl.  My daughter is 15 years old and they are discussing this case in her high school.  She googled Caylee Anthony's name and many sites of course came up.  After she viewed quite a few forums, and news sites she then went to several blogs. One of which was William Murtaugh.  His site is called www.murtwitnessonelive.blogspot.com.  There were posts that talked about Caylee but what drew my daughter in was all the fighting that was going on with the people on this blog.  She told me about it and I went there and I knew instantly this is not a place for a child.  So I told her to stay away.  Well of course kids do not always do what you ask of them.  I have 5 children so I know.  My daughter ended up revisiting Mr. Murtaughs' site and commented.  She left her real email address when she signed in to the blogspot site.

A few days later after my daughter left about 4 comments talking about Caylee, Mr. Murtaugh began to write my daughter.  She did not tell me about this immediately or I would have stopped it dead in the tracks.  First he asked questions pertianing to the case.  Then he started asking personal questions like how old she was.  If she had a father in her life?  If she had a boyfriend.  At first my daughter felt like he was making conversations.  Then he got very weird on her.  He wanted to talk privately on an instant messenger service.  Asking THIS AFTER HE KNEW HER AGE!

This is when she finally came to me and showed me the posts and the emails. I wrote Mr. Murtaugh personally and told him to never contact my child again or I was going to call the police on him.  My daughter assured me that she did not give out a phone number, address or anything personal to him. 

After a few days later I was very bothered by this whole situation.  So I began to investigate myself a bit.  I put in Willam Murtaugh into the search engines and I practically fell over.  He is well known for let's say LIKING children.  And all the other stories I read up on him, just made me ill.  I did contact the police to file a complaint.  They said since Mr. Murtaugh did not come out and actually plan a meeting that not much would be done.  I told the police that if she continued talking to him it would have happened.  The police said thank goodness it didn't get that far.  I was told to inform every blog owner, forums and where ever they have online predator sites to let them know what happened to my daughter.  I was referred here when one of the committee members found him also on this site for a different matter but the engaging with children was mentioned.  So I thought I should write my own piece for any of you that have had problems with his nut.  If you have contact your local police department.  Do not hesitate.  Even if they cannot do anything, it will be on file.  I also filed a complaint with blogspot but have not heard back yet.

We have to keep our children safe especially nowadays from online sexual deviants. This was a very scary experience for us and I pray that this will not happen to someone else.  That is why I am speaking out.

Hoax confirmed

AUTHOR: anonymous - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, January 08, 2012
It has been recently confirmed that the report by the woman in regards to her "daughter" is in fact a HOAX. The report was made by a MALE out of Clearwater, Florida. He has admitted his hoax to several of his "fans" on a prankster website.

What this does show is how widely Ripoffreport.com and other internet "reporting" sites are being abused by internet bullies and those who spread rumors and lies for the sheer fun of it.

A majority of the complaints on Ripoffreport.com are frauds. Ripoffreport makes NO effort to validate their content and the ads clearly demonstrate the TRUE intent of this complaint site.

It is a money making tool for lawyers and reputation restoration companies. Ever since the complaints about me surfaced, I have been flooded by SPAMS from reputation restoration sites offering their expensive services in order to "clear my reputation."

Ripoffreport is itself a Ripoff.

I NEED A PRO BONO ATTY

AUTHOR: anonymous - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, April 13, 2010
This rip off report is slander. None of what was written here occured. I have lost everything I own due to the damage this has done to my ability to earn a living. I am about the loose my home to forclosure.

I need to have my name cleared and the person or persons responsible for this report to answer for what they have done.

Someone called the Lake County Sheriff's Department because she thought I had accused her of being the one who wrote this report. She informed the LCSO that I had written a letter to the father of an open missing child case and informed him that I knew where the child was buried (presuming he was dead, in other words) and that I would be contacting him as to when he would be returned.

This incident ALSO DID NOT OCCUR. When I issued a public appeal for this woman to explain why she made those accusations in her calls to the police. Rather than answer, she claims to have consulted and attorney and refuses to answer my question.

 She and other  people in a group she is with have been flinging these wild accusations out there for almost two years. Repeated requests to law enforcement to put a stop to this have gone unanswered.

I have nowhere to turn and need help.

Is there an atty out there than can help? Please contact me at
(((Redacted)))

These people cannot be allowed to get away with these kinds of lies. If they can do this to me they can do this to someone else.

AVOIDANCE

AUTHOR: anonymous - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, January 22, 2010

The last comment, of course, did not address anything in my rebuttal. You now accuse me of having the ability to control the policy and operation of Ripoffreport? It would be nice if the operators of this service would be reading this and address this individual's charge.

I have no idea how they choose when or how to post any comments on this service.  Also as I have said, I have filed a formal complaint with the Lake County Florida Sheriff's department charging whoever initated the original complaint with fraud and filing false information with a law enforcement agency.

Since this person has yet to supply the information I have asked for, I can only draw the conclusion that this is cyber bullying at it's worst. The individual does not care how this affects my daily life or financial status.

It is unforutnate that people cannot find better things to do with their lives other than destroying people for no other reason that they are capable of doing so.

The case number is: 1001199, responding Deputy: Cpl. G. Dozier. Lake County  Florida Sheriff's Department. Tavares, Florida.
352-XXXXXX.

Anyone who has any information as to who is behind these false accusations against me are  advised to call the above number and refer to the above case number.

#3 Consumer Comment

Interesting thought here...

AUTHOR: Innocent Bystander - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, January 22, 2010

How is it, Mr Murtaugh's rebuttal was posted so quickly after the initial report is made when everyone else has to wait hours for their comments to be placed on the reports? I am beginning to think Mr. Murtaugh made the original report then filed a hoax comment shortly there after. We all know he uses two different internet service providers. One being AOL and the other being Embarq. Each will show a different location. This is just a ploy in his game of poor me. Nice try there Skippy but it didn't work.

This website is to report consumer complaints.

Seems a group of haters have decided to use this space now to spew their lies.

This last report from 'a mother' is just more garbage to inflict pain upon others.

I hope soon this page will return to its' original intent.

HOAX

AUTHOR: anonymous - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, January 22, 2010

IT is unfortunate that there those out there who will take advantage of this service, meant to be used by those with LEGITIMATE complaints. It instead, has become the domain of a new wave of internet bullies, this time in the form of so called ADULTS who feel it necessary to out and out LIE about someone they have never met.

The incident described NEVER OCCURRED. If the person is claiming this incident occurred then I would like the case number.

I am going to take a printout of this complaint to:
Sheriff  Gary Borders
The Lake County Sheriff's Office
360 W. Ruby Street
Tavares Florida, 32778

352-343-9501

This person is part of the same group that has accused me of just about every crime against children with the exception, I think of the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby.

I have been accused of knowing where Trenton Duckett, a still missing child from Lake county,  is located, even to the extent they accuse me of burying him in my back yard.

I was accused of the same crime regarding Caylee Anthony until that case was resolved and I am also accused of having something to do with the case of Haleigh Cummings and another young girl in Orange Park, Florida.

I have offered in posts on my blog and elsewhere on the internet:

TO UNDERGO ANY POLYGRAPH TEST
TO UNDERGO ANY VOICE STRESS TEST.
TO ALLOW SEARCHES OF ALL MY COMPUTERS
TO ALLOW A SEARCH OF ALL MY PROPERTIES
TO ALLOW WHATEVER MEASURES ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, BE IT CITY, COUNTY, STATE OR FEDERAL.FEEL NECESSARY TO RESOLVE ANY COMPLAINTS BY THOSE DESCRIBED IN MY REBUTTAL AND THE PERSON WHO AUTHORED THE ORIGINAL RIPOFFREPORT COMPLAINT

I THEREFORE CHALLENGE THE INDIVIDUAL WHO SUBMITTED THE ABOVE REPORT TO PROCEED IMMEDIATELY TO HER LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY AND DO THE SAME.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE THE COURTESY OF THE CASE FILE NUMBER PROVIDED TO HER BY THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY SHE ALLEGES TO HAVE FILED THAT REPORT.

The weakness of the Ripoffreport website is that they have made any sort if civil litigation or remedy a prolonged process as well as an expensive one.

Anyone can say anything about anybody and Ripoff holds itself harmless with the usual " they said it so blame them" legal waiver.

This website is nothing more than a toy for immature adult cyber bullies to use to destroy the reputation and character of innocent civilians without being held accountable.

If something is not done about the abuses that are widespread on this site, then it is time for the government to step in with appropriate legislation to ensure RESPONSIBLE use of this website and those like it.
