Comments on: Mystery Hovers Over Dad Who Took Daughter

Divorced Man On Run With 7-Year-Old Used Many Aliases And Moved In Boston's Wealthy Circles

The driver of the SUV is cited as "an unwilling participant" in the investigation. S/He might want to rethink that. Right now that person is accessory to kidnapping, but it could get a whole lot worse.

[mike-avelli]

Oh, yes we most certainly CAN judge this person: he is at least guilty of assault and kidnapping, and maybe more charges will emerge. Trying to be a DAD???? By stealing his kid away through violence?? He is warped and desperate, the kid is in a lot of danger. Just because this psycho hasn''''t already hurt anyone, doen''''t mean he won''''t!!

violence....really? remember the bonet-ramsey case the parents there were guilty before all the facts were out also.......

I hope this story runs on America''s Most Wanted, around the world. It seems like he is not in the States anymore, so the search needs to go international. If he headed to Europe, it takes about 1-2 weeks to get across the Atlantic, I think. If he headed to Peru, then perhaps he could be nabbed at the Panama Canal. I really hope this ends with the girl back home in London & the wannabe "Rockefeller" in jail.

HAmiltonGRAD:

For a purported lawyer, you certainly don''t read well. The daughter lives in London with her mother. She was in Boston for a supervised visit with her father.

Because you are an advocate for fathers'' rights, you have apparently lost your ability to look at the situation rationally. The father committed crimes. His affection for his daughter doesn''t justify his acts or alter the situation. No matter how well-intentioned he may be, he has placed this child in jeopardy.

"Rockefeller''s" lifestyle suggests eccentricity at best, and the fact that police cannot confirm his true name or social security number suggest that he may have changed his identity because of past crimes, or that he is seriously delusional. Instead of focusing on this man as a victim of the system, focus instead on his behavior. Any rational person would have to concede the threat he poses to the well-being of this child.

HE DID IT

[credibility2]

docpeter: ....intentionally deceptive...? Irrational and unstable is appropriate to describe this moron. And no "dad" would subject his kid to this type of abusive and emotionally and psychologically damaging acts, like assaulting a social worker and then kidnapping his own kid. These aren''t the acts of a rational and stable individual, and certainly not one that loves his child and cares about their welfare.

[u2canb1]

Irrational and unstable fit his behavior PERFECTLY.

ir7ra7tion7al 2. without or deprived of normal mental clarity or sound judgment.
(kidnapping his daughter knowing the consequences)

un7sta7ble
3. unsteadfast; inconstant; wavering.
4. marked by emotional instability: an unstable person.
(assault, kidnapping, alias names)

Interesting that all of a sudden the comments are in favor of Daddykins.

Noooo, the daddykins supporters are weak men, bitter and resentful of women who are strong, independent and have left them wallowing and spitting in the dust.

[docpeter-2009]

Any man who misrepresents himself by having several aliases, isn''''t exactly an affirmation of someone who is mentally and emotionally stable. There''''s even some question as to the legitimacy of his even being a true Rockefeller. And what he did to the social worker in clear view of his daughter, roughing her up and causing her to fall as if it were somehow justified is another indicator of this individual''''s instability. Further, reading about his bizarre and irrational behavior in this story (towards the end of it as it relates to his home) is another big clue as to this man''''s instability and irrationality. He poses a danger to his daughter because of his irrationality and instability. The kidnapped daughter is the one is at greatest peril, not this man''''s reputation, which seems to be getting more defense by some than is warranted.

You sure like to use the word irrational and unstable, unfortunately you don''t seem to have too clear of an idea of the deifnition.

I would not consider his behavior irrational or unstable. Consider it more intentionally deceptive. The guy is definately trying to cover up something (in his past or present). That doesn''t mean he is acting irrational or is unstable.

[u2canb1]

Perhaps this poor battered guy could have expressed himself better...

Uh huh...
"Say, Osama buddy, do you think you could have "expressed yourself better" back on 9/11?" It''s OK though, we know you were frustrated with America, a system out to "get Islam". Anyone who perceives injustice has the right to act out in frustration, and the consequences are excusable since the system is clearly bent on ruining certain peoples lives.

[u2canb1]

We can not judge this person, because in most cases such as this, the man is the victim, just trying to be a dad.

So he decided to take his chances on the run.
Posted by summarex

HE took HIS chances???? The he11 with him! He has effectively disrupted his daughters entire life to salve his own emotional needs. Doesn''t matter, WHEN they catch him, he''ll get jail time and will NEVER have his daughter, ever.

[summarex]

It looks to me like this guy saw himself about to be skewered by some crooked judge and his wife. So he decided to take his chances on the run.

I''m sure most of you have noticed that the press commentators like that Bloom woman have made a lot out of the judge''s ordering of supervised visits and the name change. But it''s unusual that the police have not even hinted that the girl may be in danger of him. Nor have they said or implied that he has some sort of issues related to abuse, violence, depravity or anything like that.

This is starting to look very fishy and I''d like to hear more about that judge and the wife.

Why isn''t there more coverage of the reason the "mom" lives in London while her baby is in Boston ?? Is she a dead beat mom ?

[neenga]

Interesting that all of a sudden the comments are in favor of Daddykins. What about Mommykins? Well, the Brits are famously reticent and reserved, so maybe she''s not the type to hold press conferences, share dirty laundry, and cry in public. If that''s the case, good for her.

[babooph]

The government really is uneasy when it cannot follow every inch of all citizens lives-we need a lot more privacy in all of our lives-I find it overseas myself.

[bushie3]

If it not Doom or Gloom the media has nothing to do with it. Look at school shooting, mass coverage, when was the last time you heard anything about good things at school. Doom and Gloom sells, such a pity

[carlylaine]

creeper00: You could be Rockefeller for all we know. Otherwise, why are you so concerned that there''s no one to speak for him? Unless...?

[creeper00]

Yesterdays story on this kidnapping stated that Boss had received court approval to change Reigh''s last name from Rockefeller to Boss. I note this this isn''t mentioned today.

How frustrating it must be for a man to lose his child, both in name and body.

I find it hard to believe this man is evil. Nutsy, maybe, but not evil. And why is there no information at all on Boss?

Who will speak for Clark Rockefeller?
