My heart breaks for the child involved in this tragedy. Excuse me, I should say the children. If all the truth comes out, I truly believe there will be multiple victims. Even the children that enjoyed the apple but never get legally involved or publicly exposed, will suffer. Time served on Mindi's part will not take away the emotional pain, scarred minds, and sleepless nights that so many have suffered. Punishment for Mindi, yes...peace of mind for the victims and families, never.

You seem to be lost in some fantasy land, and so out of touch with reality.

#1.2 Anonymous on 05/29/09 at 09:53 AM

i do feel sorry for all the families involved. i also agree with you that there are probably others that will be involved however, the first boy involved is going around the high school bragging about it to his buddies so shame on him as well.

#1.2.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/29/09 at 10:15 AM

That can legitimately blamed on Youth.

So this is the woman who was called beautiful?

#2.1 Anonymous on 05/20/09 at 06:14 AM

LOL my thoughts exactly, but they didnt show the rest of her. I saw the cell video, no one really seemed to care about "gazing deeply into her eyes"

#2.1.1 PCHS on 08/12/09 at 11:18 AM

hollar :]

How old is this woman? I dont recall reading that anywhere...

#3.1 Pike Resident on 05/20/09 at 08:50 AM

She about 36 or 37. She graduated high school in 1990.

#3.1.1 Anonymous on 05/20/09 at 09:01 AM

she is 37

#3.1.1.1 Anonymous on 05/20/09 at 09:36 AM

Maybe she should try to get on the next season of that new show Cougar... did I spell that right? Has anybody watched that yet? And one more thing, if this kid was 18 would it make a difference to anybody? Im just saying cause at 18 they are considered adults and they can do what they want, predators or child molster or not...

#3.1.1.1.1 Anonymous on 05/20/09 at 10:29 AM

It would make some difference I still personally would not agree with it but at that point it would be legal.

#3.1.1.2 in the know on 05/23/09 at 09:34 AM

With some toys she could have made love to someone she really loved............herself!!!

Mindi my cell dosen't do video, When and where can we meet ??

#4.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/20/09 at 08:46 AM

In her cell.

#5 Pike resident on 05/20/09 at 08:40 AM

What is going on in the cell video?

#6 Sheila Tolley on 05/20/09 at 08:44 AM

It is probably more entertaining than her next 'In her cell' video.

#7 Anonymous on 05/20/09 at 08:54 AM

She is beautiful, I wish I were him

#11 Innocent until proven guilty on 05/20/09 at 09:13 AM

This is comical to read. First, how do you get a cell phone to video anything while in jail? Sounds like a lot of BS to me. I will also say that a 15 year old boy could have lied about all of this. They have been known to brag about having sex when in fact, they have not. I am curious as to what kind of evidence will be used against her in a court of law. If she is not found guilty our "judicial system" will have ruined the lives of her and her children.

#11.1 Anonymous on 05/20/09 at 10:30 AM

the cell video was (from what I heard) is what got her busted, it wasnt made in the jail cell. I think the poor kid is damned if you damned if you dont. If he lied he looks stupid, and well for telling... same difference. Guess we will all see. I really do hate this for her family.

#11.2 Anonymous on 05/20/09 at 10:33 AM

NO< the video was not done while in jail it is the evidence and there are several out there but one imparticular going around. He is not jusr bragging the videos in which everyone is talking about was found by an adult and is turned in as states evidence. I agree you are innocent until proven guilty but I beleive there is a pretty solid case against her.

#11.2.1 Doesn't really matter, now does it? on 05/20/09 at 10:53 AM

I hope you are wrong about the videos. I am just heartbroken! There will no doubt, continue to be finger pointing on here but I just hope you folks search your own souls and others PLEASE pray for this family, especially the children. Let the justice system work here.

#11.2.1.1 Anonymous on 05/20/09 at 11:53 AM

I am not wrong I wish I was too

#11.3 Sheila Tolley on 05/20/09 at 11:57 AM

If she has the lawyer that I heard she has....she will not be found guilty. She may even become famous.

#11.3.1 Anonymous on 05/20/09 at 12:23 PM

what lawyer have you heard she has?? I havent heard yet?

#11.3.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/20/09 at 12:33 PM

I cannot say, because it would be hearsay at this point. I will say, if what I heard is true, she has the best lawyer in Pike and all surrounding counties. Perhaps, the best in Georgia.

#11.3.1.1.1 lawyerless in Pike on 05/20/09 at 04:28 PM

If the attorney is from PikeCo. she is in trouble. There are no good attorneys here.

#11.3.1.1.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/21/09 at 08:54 AM

You may be in for a surprise!

#11.3.1.1.1.1.1 lawless in Pike Co on 05/21/09 at 09:54 AM

I doubt it. She better get the Bruce Harvey team.

#11.3.2 Pissed parent in Pike on 05/23/09 at 11:50 AM

Ms. Tolley, the best attorney in Pike? Surrounding Counties? I find it hard to believe that Ms. Mindi would allow just any attorney to represent her in this "criminal trial"..I can only imagine that she would probably hire an attorney who has extensive defensive experience in cases similar to hers. There is not an attorney within 30 miles of Pike that would be able to "Copperfield" those charges. I think the local attorneys could handle a jaywalking defense, maybe even a DUI..bot aggravated child molesting and sodomy? Pike Co attorneys are on Wikipedia right now trying to figure what that word means! Mindi is screwed...literally...

#11.4 Kenneth Slaven on 05/20/09 at 08:35 PM

If this is anything like a typical Pike county investigation(I'm Laughing) there probably wasnt one. The sheriff in my opinion only enforces the law when he sees fit to. The investigators are incompetent at best. Most people do not realize all it takes is one mad mother making an accusation to get this ball rolling and create a nightmare for this woman. I do not know if she is innocent or guilty but in pike I'm sure they will stack the charges on her and hope for a plea because when it comes down to it Pike officials seem to always have problems when it comes proving charges in an actual trial.

#11.4.1 In the Know on 05/21/09 at 07:14 AM

You are just pissed off because your brother is a sick and discusting pedifile. He like this womon likes to pray on small girls. Your brother is right where he belongs. Thank God and Pike County Sheriff.

#11.4.1.1 BRITTANEY WHTIE (FORMERLY SLAVEN) on 05/22/09 at 12:30 AM

Thank you soo much for the support that you have shown!!! I honestly hope that both of their nasty, disgusting asses rot in jail..better yet, that they do it together. Who knows, maybe when they get out they will meet up and get married....then they will have something in common!!!!!

#11.4.1.2 BRITTANEY WHITE (FORMERLY SLAVEN) on 05/22/09 at 08:49 AM

It's amazing how much of a wonderful life my sister's and I have had these past 3 years. Obviously because of this controlling POS, we never got to experience what life was all about, and fortunately now we can. As you may tell, there are soooo many negative and hate filled feelings that I have towards him, but I cannot express on here. I just hope this woman gets what she deserves. She is a nasty, sick, disgusting woman...well, actually she is less than a woman, she's more like SCUM

#11.4.1.2.1 Pike Resident on 05/22/09 at 02:07 PM

Who is Brittaney-formerly Slaven. I know those girls and none of them went by Brittaney. Also, being a control freak and a molester are two different things. Did you just tell on yourself?

#11.4.1.2.1.1 BRITTANEY WHITE on 05/22/09 at 05:28 PM

OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE JUST AS SIMPLE MINDED AS THE REST OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIKE THE CHILD MOLESTER TYPE. TELL ON MYSELF???? OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T KNOW ME OR MY FAMILY ....AND JUST IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING, I'M THE ONE THAT JOINED THE ARMY OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO ON ABOUT YOUR SIMPLE MINDED WAY GO SCREW YOURSELF.

#11.4.1.2.1.2 BRITTANEY WHITE on 05/22/09 at 05:49 PM

BY THE WAY, OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW US THAT WELL, BECAUSE IF YOU DID YOU WOULD KNOW OUR FULL NAMES. AND IF YOU HAD ANY KIND OF BACKBONE, YOU WOULD PUT WHO YOU REALLY ARE RATHER THAN SOME STUPID NAME.."PIKE RESIDENT"...WTF??? BUT, BECAUSE I AM NOT STUPID, I HAVE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THE ONES THAT BELIEVES HE IS SOOO INNOCENT...I BET YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A WHOLE OTHER OPINION IF HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SUCH A COWARD AND TAKEN A TRIAL. BUT NO, HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE ON THE SEX OFFENDER LIST AND GO TO A FEDERAL PRISON.AND HE SURE AS HELL DIDN'T WANT HIS REPUTATION IN PC TARNISHED (WHICH IT ALREADY IS, AT LEAST IN THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE WHO COULD SEE RIGHT THROUGH HIM) SO THEREFORE, HE DIDN'T GET HALF THE PUNISHMENT THAT HE SHOULD HAVE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME ANYMORE. I HAVE BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS GOING FOR ME.

**AND JUST TO SET YOU STRAIGHT ON YOUR COMMENT ABOUT HOW MOLESTERS AND CONTROL FREAKS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS: 1) HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?? OH, YOU'RE PROBABLY ONE, IF NOT BOTH OF THEM; AND 2) HE WAS BOTH.

#11.4.1.2.1.2.1 Pike Resident on 05/23/09 at 07:04 PM

Oh, no dear. I knew you very well. He may have been a control freak but I also saw how you acted around him and you didn't look scared of him. I also know how wild you were in school. Glad you can live your life the way you want now. It seemed to me you lived your life the way you wanted to while in Pike County too. I'll put it this way, given the way you used to hug on him in public, I had a hard time believing he was the one hitting on you. Your foul mouth don't do much for your reputation either.

#11.4.1.2.1.2.2 Pike Resident on 05/23/09 at 07:13 PM

By the way, since I do know you and the story so well, I can tell you that if there were enough evidence to convict him for molestation, he would have had a trial. There would have been no plea bargaining. And this will be the last I say to you on the subject as this is supposed to be posts about Mindi, not the Slavens.

#11.4.1.2.1.2.2.1 BRITTANEY WHITE on 05/23/09 at 09:59 PM

BY THE WAY, SCUMBAG, I CAN DO WITHOUT YOU CALLING ME "DEAR" ....REPUTATION, REPUTATION, REPUTATION....IF I HAD LIVED MY LIFE WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER I AM GOING TO OFFEND ANYONE BY THE WAY THAT I TALK, AS YOU MOST LIKELY DO, I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ANYWHERE....AND THAT'S WHY YOU ARE SO BITTER. YOU'RE PROBABLY THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A TYPICAL PIKE COUNTIAN THAT HAS NEVER GOTTEN OUT TO EXPERIENCE THE WORLD AND YOU'RE PROBABLY AT THE END OF YOUR ROPES AND WISH THAT YOU COULD CHANGE THINGS. OH WELL, TOO LATE FOR YOU I SUPPOSE. WELL, IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK OF ME BEING WILD, LET ME GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO BREW ABOUT.....I AM PROUD OF THE 5 (YES, 5) TATTOOS AND MULTIPLE PIERCINGS.....NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT WILD!!!!

#11.4.1.2.1.2.2.1.1 School Guru on 05/24/09 at 09:27 AM

From what I remember hearing, you come to know your sisters boyfriend very very well.
By ther way I know he was a county employee that was fired for getting to know you while you were in school.
I also heard that there was evidence that good old mom had run up alot of credit card dept over 100,000 dollars and was seeing the police officer that she is now married to.
Pike you are right, with language like that I wish luck to her and her many future husbands

#11.4.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.1 BRITTANEY WHITE on 05/24/09 at 06:54 PM

Yea, you must not be that big of a school guru as you like to call yourself because you are obviously just as big an idiot as everyone else. And you know nothing. OBVIOUSLY. So you too can go screw yourself, and be lucky that no one has slapped your silly ass because that's what you really need. And let me just get one more thing straight with you, leave my mom out of this. This has nothing to do with her and then here you come out of left field and what not adding your 2cents where it's not wanted or needed. I'm me and I always will be. And I can say that I have comtributed more to my country that you ever will. I served in Iraq for 15 months, so, why don't you thank a veteran for giving you the freedom to run your retarded mouth...but don't thank me because your thanks isn't needed. And if you keep it up, there might just be a lawyer coming to you because i'll get you for slander. Don't think that you can hide behind some stupid name, IP addresses are never lost. And besides, if you think that you can hang with me and talk a load of BS then why don't you tell us all who you are??? Oh wait, you're too much of a pathetic wuss. And i'll talk however I da** well please and if you don't like it, you can kiss ALLLLL of my white A**!!!!!

#11.4.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.2 BRITTANEY WHITE on 05/24/09 at 07:04 PM

Before you go talkin all the crap that you do, be sure that you know how to spell debt. And without you stating who you are, I can clearly tell that you aren't an english teacher, so that's one more person that I can cross off my list.

#11.4.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 Pike Resident on 05/24/09 at 07:36 PM

Nobody had to know about the tatoos and piercings. I'm sure they are just as nasty as your foul mouth. As for getting out and seeing the world, I certainly wish you would because maybe it would class you up a bit. What exactly do you think you have accomplished other than going into the military and getting knocked-up? As far as being a typical Pike Countian, I am what other Pike county folks call a "transplat". I have seen the world. I've got the means to see and do what I please. I knew you before you became so "worldly". My suggestion is for you to find a church and find one fast. Not only did you hang on other boys, you hung all over your so called "hated" stepfather. By the way, doesn't he get out soon?

#11.4.1.2.1.2.2.2 BRITTANEY WHITE on 05/24/09 at 11:51 AM

You must be speaking of the way that you acted around him in public. And of course this will be the last time that you speak to me on this situation, because you have to have time to go gather your facts so that you can come back to me with a halfway intelligent reply because you are a pathetic excuse for a retard. And a pathetic waste of perfectly good oxygen that someone else can use. If you know the case so well, then you would speak facts rather than some bs that you obviously think up in your head. And to be honest, I can give a S**T less about what you think of me because last time I checked, at least i'm the one that isn't SCARED to put who I really am. But that's the thing, you KNOW that you are stupid and that's why you refuse to put who you are. And I know DA*N good and well that the things you say on here, you will ONLY say on here because you're to much of a **KITTY KAT** (and no, kitty kat is not the word i'm trying to use here) to say it to my face. So let me state it again, YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A WASTE OF MY TIME. TIME THAT I CAN BE SPENDING WITH MY HUSBAND AND SON...SO GO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE AND BE DONE.

Funny how some people (sheila) for example are quick to talk about people and things when they have lots of skeletons in their own closet that could be brought out. Hmmm Maybe I will let a few out.

#12.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/20/09 at 11:20 AM

Bring it on! I need some fun memories at my age!

#12.2 Sheila Tolley on 05/20/09 at 11:26 AM

Bring out your real name also, let's reminisce????

#12.3 Lamar Towery on 05/20/09 at 11:57 AM

ANON must have some skeletons as well. He/she decided to hide their identity. is that so surprising Sheila? Where is our Aviator, A'shirley and not me?

#13 Sheila Tolley on 05/20/09 at 12:43 PM

Anon must have me confused with someone, Lamar. I always kept my skeletons sitting out on the couch. Yeah, where are my friends when I need their defense? C'mon Aviator, A'Shirley, Not me, Nene, Cats, etc. Let's party with the e-people. I am feeling better already!

#13.1 cats on 05/29/09 at 06:24 AM

Hi Cats, Welcome aboard. Will you be one of my skeletons in my closet? I can't find any. I guess they all went underground.

#14 A'shirley on 05/20/09 at 12:45 PM

Does anyone know if Sheila was ever a Homecoming Queen
in her younger days?? I would love to know what she
looked like back in those days!!

#14.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/20/09 at 01:24 PM

Let me answer that for you A'Shirley. I was Homecoming Queen in 1969 at Pike County High.(A million years ago, it seems.) This is my opinion. I looked like the beautiful, happy, young girl that was in love with her high school sweetheart. If I had my high school annual, I would send you my senior picture, but my house burned and I lost my pictures of those happy, beautiful days. Now I look like Mrs. Edward Scissorhands. But no one can steal my happy, young memories.

#14.1.1 Lamar Towery on 05/20/09 at 01:55 PM

well, i happen to think that you are one sassy belle Sheila.....

#14.1.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/21/09 at 02:59 AM

You are very polite, Lamar. Thank you!

#14.1.2 A'SHIRLEY on 05/20/09 at 09:54 PM

Well, from the sound of it, i bet you was a pretty attractive young lady and it would not shock me if you was still an attractive bright young lady......

Please keep writing. I love your work!!

#14.1.2.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/22/09 at 09:08 AM

I know A' Shirley. Her last name is Temple.

#14.1.2.1.1 A'SHIRLEY on 05/22/09 at 08:28 PM

Let me guess and her hair was curly??

#14.1.2.1.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/23/09 at 10:29 AM

Yep,...Curly Shirley.

#14.1.2.1.1.1.1 A'SHIRLEY on 05/23/09 at 05:56 PM

And she had a Pearlie.....

#15 dave on 05/20/09 at 03:42 PM

she should have left that boy alone and just called big papa .......

#15.1 Anon on 05/20/09 at 04:10 PM

I think this whole situation is about as sickening as it comes. It goes to show that you never know anyone. Me being a victim of child molestation myself do not find any of this funny. Yes most men would say at that age they would love to have that experience. I as a woman had the displeasure of having that same experience and here I am 20 years later having to pay for therapy lessons to recover from something that I had no choice over. Yes at the age of 15 you can make choices but there is also a word called manipulation. And that my friend goes a long ways. As far as her having affairs with married men, well that is their own damn fault. I being married and if found that my husband participated would most definitely be opening a can of you know what. I am surprised that the mother of this child has not already.

#16 I Know on 05/20/09 at 04:14 PM

Don't feel sorry for (the little boy) yea right. The 16 y/o runs that mouth more than the posters here.

#16.1 jay on 05/20/09 at 08:50 PM

You are a flipping idiot. You post the boys name on here. Children are protected by law you know. You are a real retarded person. The more all of you talk about this, the more ammunition you give to the defense to have it thrown out. Preciate the help for the child molester. Thanks.

#17 confused on 05/20/09 at 04:36 PM

I am confused. Are we suppose to be commenting on Shelia or Mindi?

#17.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/22/09 at 11:02 AM

I wanna talk about me, I wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one oh my, me, my,
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see.
I'm so sick of talking 'bout Mindi......
I wanna talk about me!

Toby Keith said it best, didn't he. I might start loving him better than Simon. At least for a one night stand! But who would we talk about?

#18 Patrisha on 05/20/09 at 05:19 PM

Mr. Geiger the changes you have made to the Pike Journal Reporter are an asset to Pike County Citizens. It is the reason the Pollcat has only three people posting to each other and wearing out their keyboards to do 6,000 posts in a week on a stupid dumb question. JC, Trisha, Reader and JC Imposter you have killed the Pollcat. We will always miss Lloyd.

#19 AB on 05/20/09 at 05:36 PM

You all need to take a look in the mirror. The last time I checked there has only been on perfect person on this earth. Everyone has issues of some sort. So until you live a perfect life, you all need to shut up. I have known Mindi since 5th grade and she has been through a lot in her short life. I am not condoning what she has been accused for but again, she has not been convicted. Right now she needs to be prayed for, as well as her family and children. I wish I could get in touch with her because right now she needs a friend!

#20 anon on 05/20/09 at 07:03 PM

Sheila, who cares about you being homecoming queen. This is about children in our community
possibly being molested by an adult woman. I had two children molested and this is not a laughing matter. This child or (children) will live with this the rest of their lives. If this woman is guilty , she needs to be punished.And if she innocent then I hope the court finds her innocent.But I seen the video,
She looks pretty guilty.

#20.1 Anonymous on 05/20/09 at 09:20 PM

What did she do?

#20.2 Lamar Towery on 05/20/09 at 09:48 PM

I think that you might be missing the point. There should be hundreds of posts on this blog from people infuriated about this type of behavior in our community. Lets not forget about this same problem in our school system. Unfortunately it seems to take some people talking off topic to get some folks riled. We as citizens and parents should be mad as hell that this happens in our community as well as the lack of concern that this is a problem. If it takes me commenting about prom queens from the past or bream fishing to get a reaction that’s what I will do. I do not understand people protesting this type of behavior and not posting their name. {It is understandable #20 that you signed as anon considering you circumstances.} I am not ashamed to speak out against child molesters whether they are a man or a woman. These people who don’t like our laws concerning this should rally to have the laws changed if they want their children to be taken advantage of by these perverts. Now that makes sense doesn’t it?

Come on people. Get fired up about this problem. Get mad as hell. Meditate. Pray about it. Don’t pray about it. Listen to someone. Talk to someone. Keep your eyes open. Listen for talk of this going on and do something. Be nosey. If we cant do this for or children… I know a good bream spot on Potato Creek just across the county line. They are hitting white rooster tails right now…

#20.2.1 Pissed parent in Pike on 05/23/09 at 11:28 AM

I think you hit the nail on the head. I originally started following this story due to the entertainment factor. I am a few years younger than Mindi and have a hard time trying to figure out why she would have been attracted to a teenage boy. I have seen her in the tag office and could not help but wonder how long it took her to get ready in the morning. It has shown me that just because someone has a "pretty" or "honest" face, does not mean they are trustworthy. I hear she's had a hard life? Really? So did she think a crime would somehow lessen the effects of her past? Or did that "hard life" somehow cloud her judgement? hmmm...I don't think so. Its just another desperate attempt to relive her teenage years. What a shame... This criminal, (yes people) brings a whole new meaning to desperate. Even though she is not that bright (obviously) she knew her actions were wrong. A crime was committed (alledgedly and probably) and she should be held accountable. Lets send a clear message to these other "women" or "men" who prey on our children! Mindi, I will be sure to send you some mascara girl..you know the waterproof kind...so you wont have streaks down your cheeks..

I am sorry, I did not mean to ignore you Anon. You are just insignificant. Be quiet when grown ups are talking. Simon looked HOT last night on Idol, did you see him?

#20.4 A'SHIRLEY on 05/21/09 at 05:55 AM

May, I ask how did you see the video?? Was one of the kids yours?? I am just asking......

#20.4.1 Anonymous on 05/21/09 at 07:34 AM

I dont know who started forwarding the cell video but i am such every man in pike county has it sent to their phone. I can honestly say since her face is not in it that I dont know if it is her. BUT the phone records will be checked, etc. Even if they dont get her with molesting they will get her providing porn to a minor.

#20.4.1.1 A'SHIRLEY on 05/21/09 at 11:03 PM

So, do you still have that video?? HUMMM??

Yes you are correct, she does need prayer but her family needs more prayer! to get through this! i mean for god sakes how could she do this to them! her children have to go to school everyday and hear what every one is saying! it's pretty ridiculous if you ask me!

Is that job at the Tax Assessors office availiable?
I would like to get a chance at it if it is. It would be nice to pay my bills on time for a change. And running out of gas isn't any fun either.

#23.1 Georgia Girl on 05/21/09 at 06:24 AM

Donna, you should contact county manager Steve Marro about a job opening, even a temp job. Yesterday Marro reissued his Gag Order against county employees, mainly in his courthouse. Also Marro confiscated all computers in that office. Good luck in your job search.

#23.1.1 Anonymous on 05/21/09 at 07:28 AM

they confiscated what computers in what office? And why?

#23.1.1.1 computer invasion on 05/21/09 at 09:32 AM

It would appear Marro and Rob Morton really enjoy going through peoples computers and e-mails. A visual would be a dark room, locked in with a couple of six packs and a small mirror on the table.

#23.2 Job Opening on 05/21/09 at 08:11 AM

Steve Marro has made it perfectly clear on the position you are referring to. Marro will not advertise or hire anyone to that position at this time. The position is filled by a person on administrative leave, should the person resign then Marro will advertise the position and hire the best qualified person. It is possible with cutbacks Marro could elect to not fill the position.

#23.2.1 Anonymous on 05/21/09 at 11:23 AM

then why was the job opening in yesterdays paper?

#23.2.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/21/09 at 11:44 AM

Maybe the computers will cause more openings????

#23.2.1.1.1 Marro appoint himself? on 05/21/09 at 01:07 PM

Steve Marro could appoint himself to the Tag Office position. One must remember he annonted himself Executive Director of Planning and Development, Fire Chief, Grounds Director and Fire House Construction Engineer. The only position he has not ruled is County Attorney and that is debatable. It is said he is testing the waters to toss the Chairman and make himself the Chairman of the BOC.

Sheila, he wants your computer.

#23.2.1.1.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/21/09 at 01:28 PM

He would give it back when he found my naked pictures. There are more worried men than you realize in this little "circle of circumstances."
That is always the case.

#23.2.1.1.1.1.1 Room 124 Comfort Inn Jonesboro on 05/21/09 at 03:15 PM

Just maybe that is why the county manager maintains a room outside the jurisdiction of Pike County to conduct interviews. That is it Sheila and the reason he likes to go through peoples computers. It is easy to remember who first got interviewed there by the county manager and then the BOC chairman. Word has it that a couple of the Rm 124 videos made it to www.submityourflicks.com

#23.2.1.1.1.1.1.1 A'SHIRLEY on 05/21/09 at 11:25 PM

Maybe that is why they had porn on their computers at work?? They were looking him up on the porn flicks?? lol

#26 Pike Resident on 05/21/09 at 09:08 AM

In response to Lamar Towery, in case you haven't noticed the laws have been changed DRAMATICALLY. This woman, if convicted, could serve 25 years to life. Is that not long enough for you? Is that not long enough for her kids to have to be raised by others? Is that not long enough for my tax dollars to have to house and feed her for having sex with a horny 15 year old that probably knew exactly what he was doing? Justice does not fit the crime here. Doesn't sound like she held him down and force him to have sex. I certainly hope the county has more evidence than a video that doesn't show her face!

#26.1 Think about this... on 05/21/09 at 09:53 AM

Ummm dont you people think that they can get her cell phone bill and have any calls, text messages or video messages that have been sent to and from her phone traced to each and every number???? They wont need to see her face because they will have all the proof they need right there. Dang Mindi... girl why did you have to do a 16 year old... couldnt you have found a 18 year old at least that way nobody would be in trouble with the law... just your husband.

#26.2 Lamar Towery on 05/21/09 at 10:11 AM

Surprisingly I do agree with some of what you say. This is not a cut and dry issue. Take for instance: a 16-year old boy dates a 15-year old girl for two years. Let’s say they become sexually active during this time. Now, when the boy turns 18, if the two engage in sexual activity by our laws he is an adult and can be charged with child molestation or statutory rape. I believe this to be wrong in many instances. All of these cases need to be taken case by case. As far as what Mindi faces, I have never spoken my opinion of how much time she should face. I don’t really know if I could “ name her suggested time”. You see I’m not a law maker just a pissed off citizen and parent that so many people make light of this type of situation and turn a blind eye that this happens in our community. I cannot say that I doubt that the male in question was not a “horny” boy. What I am saying is that if this were a 37-year old man that had sex with a “horny” underage girl, there would be a little bit more of a stir about it. As far as evidence, I’m sure someone has thought of tracing the video back to the original source. I would hope so.

As far as my tax dollars: I think they would be better spent on putting her in jail than paying her salary. Now that really does piss me off. And it should make you angry as well since you are a “Pike Resident”…

#26.2.1 Nobody on 06/08/09 at 03:23 PM

Maybe the video was taken with the boys phone. Just maybe his phone is the original source. . . Again, its a video without a face.

#26.3 In the know on 05/21/09 at 10:12 AM

If this was your child you would be talking a different story. Let the punishment fit the crime.

#26.3.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/21/09 at 11:42 AM

Let's get real and talk Facts:
No one blogging here, knows all the facts.Some points stated as facts are erroneous.Some terrible mind boggling facts have not been released. There are three sides to the story. In Mindi's corner, this has been blown way out of proportion and she should be back in the tag office working by now. In the corner of the child's family, she should serve the max of 25 years. In my corner, I do not have enough facts. From the little I have read on this blog, I FEEL VERY STRONGLY BOTH WAYS. I wish I was on this jury because I for one, could truly be fair.

#26.3.2 Pike Resident on 05/22/09 at 01:49 PM

If that were my child, I would have made my child VERY aware of his bad choice to associate himself with an older woman. Then, I would have gone straight to the alleged "molester" and told her to stay away from my kid. If she did not leave my kid alone, then I would have contacted the police. Doesn't seem to be the case here. It could have been handled better.

#26.3.2.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/22/09 at 04:34 PM

What a tangled web they weave, when the cell phone does deceive.

#26.4 Pissed parent in Pike on 05/23/09 at 06:48 PM

That's sad that you do not feel the crime fits the punishment..What do you think would be the proper punishment? Maybe probabtion and a slap on the wrist. Do you think she somehow thought that sex with a minor was legal? Do you think she has earned the right to finish raising her kids? Would you let her babysit or stay at your house? Better yet, would you let your teenage son (if you have one) spend the night at her house with her son? I am sure you know where she lives...so why not go visit her? If you have a teenage son then I can bet money and a boob job she would let you in!

#26.4.1 A'SHIRLEY on 06/09/09 at 07:44 AM

If I knew the person and what she did, I believe I would have stated that to my son well before this even happened. I mean you all say she has done this before. Is it really a shocker to you all??

You all want to bang up on the lady here but what about the minor here?? Yea, he is a minor but in this world today, we have all been taken away the rights to punish our children for their wrong actions. I am sure the minor came onto Mindi as well.

I am not saying what Mindi did was right here. I just want to state that it takes 2 to tango. I am sure she didn't hold a gun to the minors head; therefore, I believe the minor was fully enjoyed the moment. I am also sure the minor did not push her away either.

Not saying that Mandi made good judements here but neither did the minor. I am saying that if she forced the minor "AGAINST" his will then she should serve all the time that is suggested, but to hit her with all this time for a minor that was willing............Come on people...I believe to many people on this blog just has a hatered towards Mindi then anything. Prove to me other wise.....

#30.2 Nene on 05/21/09 at 03:29 PM

Sheila, I agree it has nothing to do with adultery, but my mother would never have allowed us to go to a neighbors house who everyone knew had cheated. When I was young people who did that didn't dare do it out in the open they would be ashamed. But alas shame is a thing of the past and no one even feels it anymore. Society used to take care of these things itself by people not wanting to associate with shameful behavior. Now everything is accepted.

#30.2.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/21/09 at 06:54 PM

I totally agree. When I was young the word was, do not drink alcohol. When I was a teenager, the word was, do not drink and drive. Now the word is, get a sober driver. Which totally implies that drinking alcohol is fine. If Jesus does not hurry back, he will owe Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.

#30.2.2 anonymous on 05/21/09 at 08:06 PM

Check the records. The building inspector was cleared of computer charges. His reputation is tarnished only by you trying to hang out at his place.

#33 austin on 05/21/09 at 08:01 PM

It seems there are many immature people in pike county who wish to blow this whole issue out of proportion in an attempt to make themsevles feel better about their immorality.
Remember back a couple of years...A 37 y/o teacher got pregnant by her 16 y/o student. She went to prison for 2 years. When she got out her and her former student got married. She "molested" her student, got pregnant, and only got 2 years.
So do you really think that Mindi Bishop will recieve 25 years? I dont think so. The court system is sexist. A male child molester will die in prison. A female child molester will spend a couple of years there. That is a fact. Everyone needs to write to congress about this instead of blogging about it.
Let this be a challenge to the people of pike county. Write to Sonny Purdue, write to Saxby Chambliss, write to someone who can do something!

#34 Anonymous on 05/21/09 at 10:17 PM

#36 Does anyone know on 05/22/09 at 09:32 AM

Why is she being charged as a child molester and not as statutory rape? I'm sure the teenager was having a good time.

#36.1 Andrew Odom on 05/22/09 at 11:52 AM

I am speaking completely off the record on this one as I have no more information than has been reported. However, after some research I have found that child sexual abuse (molestation) is a form of child abuse in which a child is abused for the sexual gratification of an adult or older adolescent. In addition to direct sexual contact, child sexual abuse also occurs when an adult indecently exposes their genitalia to a child, asks or pressures a child to engage in sexual activities, displays pornography to a child (perhaps the alleged cell phone video???), or uses a child to produce child pornography.

Any thoughts on this?

#36.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 05/22/09 at 12:14 PM

I am considering filing a lawsuit against Janet Jackson. I saw a flash of her breast during the Super Bowl a few years ago. Then she admitted later that it was all a publicity stunt that she and Timberlake schemed up. Since that time, I cannot watch football. That is grounds for a law suit, right?

This comment section is great. It's nice to be able to post comments about what we've read in the paper and see how other people feel about what's going on in our community. It is so nice to see a poll that doesn't consist all about a Marro and Morton. Thanks PJR for having an open mind in allowing our comments on Ms. Bishop. I think if she is found guilty she should receive maximum punishment. If she's innocent then I would hope she's learned a lesson about having sex with any and everybody and making videos all willy nilly.

#40 Zebulon resident on 05/22/09 at 02:00 PM

yeah i agree. When do you think her trial will be? who out there thinks that she will get the maximum (why) and who out there thinks that she will get the minumim or none (why????

#47 I am Me on 05/23/09 at 11:13 AM

Lets see here, say she had sex with a 15 year old boy. ..You know, they know it all, are already interested in sexual activities, etc., and this girl pictured is obviously pretty hot, even in the mug shot after probably crying and all that. ...But I have to ask the question here, seriously, how was the 15 year old boy really harmed here? Do the "professionals" think he will be scarred for life because a hot MILF got it on with him? I know a lot of young men who would have loved to have been in his place, and me too back then. Guess I don't know all involved with the case, but on face value, I can't really see any serious damage having been done, except to her and her family.

#47.1 Pissed parent in Pike on 05/23/09 at 07:17 PM

To "I AM ME". I can see how you come to that conclusion except for one minor little detail..she broke the law..Do you think that she somehow was under the impression it was perfectly acceptable and LEGAL to sex up a 15 or 16 year old boy? I seriously doubt it. How would you feel if this was your mother? or better yet, your wife? How can you justify her actions? It sounds like you are condoning women to conduct themselves in this predatory manner? As parents we must adopt certain values and lead them by setting a good example...especially in the presence of children. This would not even be an issue if the kid in question was 18. Besides, this kid is too young to realize that in 20 years his classmates will still be talking about this at his high school class reunion. What's worse, is that I am sure he has also come to the realization that this incident has changed the relationship he once had with his own family. I could not imagine living in a neighborhood next to the predator who sexed up my kid..I would not let my son leave the house to walk down the street if that "predator" only received a slap on the hand! Esprcially in these economic times where it would be hard to sell your house and start a life somewhere else!

#47.1.1 I am me on 05/24/09 at 05:27 AM

Ok, so you are proving my point a little more. "She broke the law". Understood. The law was broken. But again, I ask the question, besides her and her family, who was really hurt here? Do you honestly think for one second that the 15 year old kid, who is most likely bragging it up with his friends over this, is really hurt in any way? I understand "she broke the law" and such, but seriously, do you really think someone deserves 25 years of their life gone over this? Heck, 25 mins. in jail is a long time. Again, I don't know all the details, but on face value, this seems more like something that could have been settled between families than with government involvement. If it were someone molesting a child against their will, ok then, prosecute to the max, but this is clearly something totally different, and the potential for her to spend time in prison over this is alarming. The generic statements of "she broke the law" and "cry for the children" and such are pretty lame when you consider what actually happened, and the mindset of both participants at the time it happened. Give it some intelligent thought, without defaulting to "but she broke the law".

#47.1.1.1 Pike Resident on 05/24/09 at 07:10 PM

Amen to "I Am ME". I'm with you 100%. This situation should have been handled between families. And for the record, I am a mother of three. I keep my eyes on my children, I teach them morals at home and at church so that they may be able to make decisions for themselves (and hopefully the right decisions), and I don't shove them off on others to watch, take care of, or take to ball practice, etc. In other words, I take care of my own. . . And in response to someone earlier, I do have a teenage son. I would have torn him up for doing what this kid did! Did you hear that people? I would have torn my kid up over this. That's the problem these days. Kids don't get the discipline they deserve.

Everyone take a second and read this and be VERY CLEAR................. Now...

#54 BRITTANEY WHITE on 05/24/09 at 08:51 PM

Well, let me just get one thing straight with you you unintelligent TRANSPLANT, you WILL NOT bring my family into this. Let's see...to answer your question about what I accomplished in the military, I spent 15 months deployed to Iraq, and I have you know that I was married for well over a year before I got pregnant. And that's probably more than you can say for yourself. And I see that you are still too scared to say who you are. But don't worry, I have the means to find out, and FIND OUT I WILL!!!! As for my tattoos, they're more classy than YOU. And oh, let me just get some lips tattooed on my A** cheek so you'll know just where to kiss it. Who are you to say that I should find a church and find it fast???? You're the reason why most don't go to church.....because you're a HYPOCRITE!!!! And I mean that in every sense of the word. Well well well....the truth comes out. You know nothing about the case because if you did, you would know that he still has ALOT of time left. But I don't know...I would say that you're pretty anxious for him to be out so you can get a hold of him.....GOOD!!!! Maybe he'll molest your children next!!! HAHAHAHA SUCKER!!!! It's funny how you have made my "FOUL MOUTH" the subject of the matter...just goes to show how one-dimensional and narrow minded you are A** CLOWN!!!! Oh, and I thought that you said that you would speak to me no more on this subject because it's about Mindi, not me???? What? Are you going to say that you suffer from amnesia??? But I have come to the conclusion that because you have nothing better to do, you are going to throw yourself all up in everyone else's business....GO KICK ROCKS!!! YA DIGG???

#54.2 Big Willy on 05/24/09 at 09:45 PM

I thought no one would respond to my comment. Let's remember that we live in a small town and when something like this happens people WILL talk. Mindi Bishop attended my church and when I got there this morning I was bombarded with people telling me things and it really makes me wonder,... Is this the way we as Pike Countians want the rest of this area's people to view us? I think not. We as a community should band together when bad things happen in our towns and not turn on our own people. With that being said, I also think that the real victims here are the Bishop kids and Mindi's husband and the family of the 16 year old involved. This boy is not emotionally scarred or harmed in this, he was however, manipulated and his decision making process was taken advantage of, because he doesn't know the sacredness of marriage and he probably had no idea that "all this" was going to happen.

#54.3 Anonymous on 05/24/09 at 10:28 PM

To confirm Sheila's post about homecoming queen for PICOHI in '69,. that is true. I was in 8th grade and I remember it clearly. I still have my Silver colored annual to prove it.

Off the record and this is to The Pollcat Web Moderator, I see you zapped again this morning, see if you can zap this one off of Geiger's: The pollcat is in a low state today, you will see more than 140 hits, and 53 votes, yet only 1 comment. And if you read the previous posts that was left on there Trisha is rambling on about how bad the PJR and Geiger is for allowing such trash and name calling and judgement to go on, yet in her own post Trisha in the last sentence of that same post merely slandered Ms. McClelland. Thanks PJR for not being so quick to zap a post, after all readers is what keeps the PJR in circulation.

#57.1 Zapped on 05/25/09 at 12:02 PM

The Pollcat is going through a slow process of self destruction. Those who hated the Pollcat are sitting back giving each other the high fives. MM said Trisha was a great poster and you have to agree, she knows everything about everything and holds the record of post by a single individual, not counting her posts under other names. In the Moderators eyes she can do no wrong but he is blind.

#57.2 Lamar Towery on 05/25/09 at 08:29 PM

i have to agree with you. i never even heard of the "pollcat" until it was referenced on here. i logged in and it was pretty lame. it does have the potential to be cool. to do that, you have to let the people speak their mind. good,bad, agree or disagree... freedom of speach should always win over censorship... great job Gieger and PJR...

The Pollcat could possibly survive with the direction of the current moderator. If Mr. Geiger will continue to let her post the PJR news releases ie. Crysler Dealer in Melborne Fla. then a interest might just be sparked. I always enjoyed your posts, you were straight forward and to the point.

#61 Regina Polk on 05/29/09 at 11:03 PM

I just wonder how people would feel if this were a young 15 or 16 year old girl. I bet alot of people would take it more seriously. I have a young son and if he were 15 or 16 and I found out that he had this type of relationship with his friends mother I would be ready to scratch her eyes out...no matter whether he thought it was a great idea Mindi is the adult and should have known better. I feel sorry for her children. What kind of bad choices has she made for her on children?

#64 somebody on 06/03/09 at 10:38 AM

I would just like to say that yes Mindi did a stupid and crazy thing and she should have to pay for messing with a teenage little boy,but he should have to serve some kind of time for going with a married woman with children. He knew good and well Mindi was married and probably hung out with her children,so he is also in the wrong as far as I'm concerned.
We need to get over what Mindi has done and let the law handle the rest of what's going to come of this.
I have students at Pike County Schools and I'm not going to say which school, but the staff at these schools need to realize that they are being seen by students when they want to run around on their spouses.
The principals,asst.principals,the bus transportation director,and all the others need to know that I have had students ask me personally what is going on with certain staff members because of what they have seen them doing with each other.
The reason I'm writing this is to say that yes what Mindi did was very wrong and she needs to definitely pay for her actions,but at the same time those in the schools need to be punished for the things they are doing in the system. Thank you, somebody who cares about the students.

#64.1 Watch yourself! on 06/03/09 at 08:06 PM

Oh so everyone that messes with a married person should sure some sort of time?? If that was the case our prisons would be full. It goes on everyday in life weather you want to believe it or not. It goes further than the outside of the Pike County School systems!!

You did not come on here about Mindi. You came on here to bust some ppl out. PPL can be friends with the opposite sex and not be sleeping with them!! If ppl got a life and minded their own darn business this kinda crap would not be going on.

Kids are going to do what they see their parents do....Bull crap!! Not all go that route. To some it changes them to want to be a better person. Take life by the hands and live and learn.....

Honey, I am soooo far from being a hypocrite!! I also happen to be a very good example to others and others think very highly of me. I do have kids as a matter of fact. I have 2 boys. ( stay away Mindi )( beware of their MOTHER)!!

The name I choose is to be used as sarcasm but most of you under privileged prudent PPL don't find humor in anything!! Glad I have an open relationship with my kids. I would rather my kids tell me everything; then to be afraid to talk to me about things. When you learn to have a good relationship with your kids they turn out to be better PPL when I turn them loose in the real world!! At least my kids want get eaten up by all the pruds........ Ever wonder if that is why the kids strayed to begin with?? Parents got a tight leash on him??

#65 pc resident on 06/03/09 at 10:07 PM

Has it occured to anyone that she actually may not have done these things? Perhaps this young boy was so attracted to her and she wouldn't do what he wanted so he lied!!!!

I wish I was as innocent as so many other people in Pike County that judge people guilty without all of the facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what?? We all have a 50/50 chance of being right or wrong. The trail can only go 2 ways. You can also tell which way a trail could possibly go by the things that get out. Plus, the court system will more then likely send her to another surrounding county b/c she would never get a fair trial here. To many ppl know what is going on. They would hang her.

#73.1 Michelle on 08/24/09 at 02:21 PM

BTW: if you call the county clerks office you will find out that the case is still pending. It will go to the Grand Jury for a decision on whether there is enough evidence to proceed to a hearing or if not, it will then be dropped. This jury won't meet until either this October, or at the latest next April.

Also, they did move out of Pike County..her kids started a new school, but from what I gather they don't have any idea about their mother. I can only think that b/c this happened over the summer months they were sheltered from all the talk about it.

#74 mistakes on 08/14/09 at 08:04 PM

I don't see it that way.
She has already paid in spades for her indiscretion.

She and her family will pay the price the rest of their lives.

Thankful i dont live in Pike Co.- wouldn't move there for a billion dollars! You ppl eat each other alive- I know her family and the 16 yr old and i'll say this--Both families are messed up! The adults involved all have tough pasts ( Mindi esp.sad)she's heart ache after heart ache in her life. Not saying the right decisions were made by anyone involved, but till u walk in someones elses shoe's OR know ALL the facts be careful how u judge! I do know for a fact that its not her in the video. Hope all the kids involved can get past the uglyness and learn a valuable lesson from all this- Forgiveness is good too.

#76.1.1 Anon on 01/14/10 at 01:04 PM

Thankful... I agree with you this is a very sad situation... And yes- I moved to Pike and it is unfortunate that everyone is like this. At each other like a pack of wolves. Any situation like this is hard to deal with. There are obviously issues on both ends of this spectrum. Right now is when we should all be coming together, praying that A. She realizes why what she did was wrong and seeks forgiveness B. Her family learns how to cope. No matter how "bad" a person is when its your mother, father, child, sibling, etc. it still hurts. C. The children involved in the "act". I do find it difficult to believe that he was completely innocent. He was curious... while it def. does not justify her actions... I do feel that all people involved should be held accountable. And instead of everyone pointing fingers-we need to stop and think how this could be our family...falling apart at the seams. I can't imagine as a parent how it must feel to know such a thing was done to your child "your baby". therefore, I do not find the parents at fault for being angry. The truth is- they handled it a heck of a lot better than I coud have... But at 15,16,17- these boys are not innocent. Same scenario with teachers and students... while the adults should know better and keep to themselves... the "children" know the difference between right and wrong as well. It's one thing to be approached and taken advantage of. Its a totally different story when you welcome it! I am praying for all families involoved. It truly is so sad! I am thankful that God is a forgiving God! While He will be just and you will be held accountable- any sin can be forgiven.
As for the rest of you...GROW UP!
