Ashley, Right now it has everything to do with those innocent boys. They need lots of love and support from all family members. This will be a difficult time for all family members. Perhaps one of the reasons the mother didn't visit was because she worked about 60-70 hours a week to pay the bills and was tired when she came home. Maybe communication between family members can begin to heal the ill feelings. Lets all pray for that.

just me again reposting wrote:
the daily journal needs to do something about the ridiculous gossiping and spiteful things said on these boards. its not a forum but rather a wall people are hiding behind to say awful things about others in the community that they wouldn't say to their faces. there's a commercial on the radio that goes into this exact subject, but the participants are teenage girls. not grown adults! if you wouldn't say it to someones face don't say it online.
i myself for one would if given the chance to say this to chris fetzer face to face would in a heartbeat. and i will be there on the 20th of june to hope and pray he gets as much as possible!!!

Readers should notice that the story about this crime is "Most Viewed" on the Ukiah Daily Journal website, even though it is the LAST item listed in small type.
The regional Santa Rosa Press Democrat doesn't even HAVE a story -- which keeps the Fetzer name out of the press, except for this story. The only other coverage of Fetzer's child-rape was a PRO-Fetzer piece in the child-molester-friendly Boonville newspaper.
Ben Brown's article doesn't mention child-sex-offender registration for Fetzer (on Megan's List, mentioned in another comment here). Does the plea deal POSSIBLY provide for Fetzer to avoid registration?
The Mendocino County District Attorney's telephone number -- not listed in the telephone directory -- is four six three four two one one (Topix comments doesn't like phone numbers). Mailing address for DA Meredith Lintott is P.O. Box 1000, Ukiah, CA 95482.
i do believe it is when he is out of prison, if he makes it out alive that then is when these pedophiles have to register as sick individuals in the system.

Let's set the record straight here people the charges were dropped because the evidence showed up negative, no drugging happened and no rape and knowing this girl and her mother because they lived with my brother I can honestly say most of the story is made up. This poor girl had lived through a lot before her mother met and had two children with my brother. The name FETZER has nothing to do with it. Chris is an individual who has been living his own life. Already the daughter's story and the mother's has changed as to the nights events. He plea bargained yes, I think he should have put her on the stand. Then all of you "society" could show up and put in your 2 cents instead of using the computer and hiding behind your cowardly names. If you have a statement to say please show your name... The cops new that they didn't have enough evidence when this all happened and Ben Brown this mother didn't "come home" she was already there in bed. If she came home at the time this all happened which was around midnight I would be very concerned about her already negligent ways. Last time Chris went to prison I sent him there for screwing up so I have no reason to protect him, but I know what I know and all parties are guilty here in my book. For lying, for negligence, for irresponsibility and for not doing what was in the best interest of the children and that was Chris and this mother to seperate, but both were to lazy and to stubborn to have to find another place to live. BOTTOM LINE! They haven't even been what we would all consider "together" for about a year now. Let's step it up mendocino county sentencing is June 20 at 1:30 tentatively in courtroom B I'll see you guys there?
your going on and on about things that really don't have anything to do with the facts which is no matter what, bottom line this pedophile is a sick person that needs to go to prison for what he did. were talking about an 11 year old girl verses a suppose to be grown man!! don't forget the victim here.

No one would plead to a felony charge like that(considering what will happen to him in prison)if there wasn't a lot of solid evedence against him. The mother and the daughter are not on trial, MS. Heath, are you trying to add more trauma to their lives. Accusing a 11 year old girl of a crime show makes you look very ignorant. How would you feel if you were that little girl NO ONE ASKS TO BE mistreated or MOLESTED.
hats off to you mom2. heidi fetzer should be extremely ashamed of herself. i would not be able to hold my head up if i were her. not because of what one of her family members did, that is no fault of her own. but of how she's acting now against an innocent 11 year old girl this pedophile took advantage of and destroyed her life.

Ashley, It is not appropriate to bring the victim's mother's name into this, but since you have, at least spell it correctly. Your comments have so much hatred in them. Breathe, relax, meditate. Try to find something positive that you can do in this situation to make others' feel better, not worse. There is a lesson in all of this for all concerned. Learn from it and be a better person.

"No one has been molested is the point I'm trying to make, but you sound to stupid to understand that! Save it.".

Ms. Fetzer, you are the one sounding stupid here. Your opinions here are just that, opinions. Unless you have been in a victims shoes, you really have no authority to make any type of comments. God save you and your children from ever having to endure the tragedy of a molestation. Don't defend what you really don't know. Once you have walked down this road, then, and only then, would your comments be appropriate and appreciated.

Haha Nana.....you are one to talk...Everyone has read what you have been writing about Chris's family....the people you have met for an hour if that. And again....we are not sticking up for Chris we are sticking up for the family. You guys seem to think that his family had control over what he did. Again you are wrong. On the same line of text...hatred...???? Not likely... I do not waste energy on hate. It takes too much out of someone to hate them. I think maybe you should go back to the other forums and read what you wrote about the Fezter/Heath FAMILY and see why people get upset. You talked crap about the family. And by the way for the drinking and driving with the kids in the car...Chris's own mother called your daughter everytime and she came up and got the kids... I know that for a fact....
why don't you and NANA try not to air all your dirty laundry on this site. It's not reality tv. show a little class for your family.

Heidi -- If your brother Chris is so innocent, then why at the first two arraignments (that I was present at) was he crying and apologizing for what he had done? the first arraignment I was the only person in the court room, and he has no reason to put on a show. The second arraignment I was present and so was the victims mother, who not once looked at Chris as he sat in the court room, and as he walked out (crying) in front of us apologized again?
For you to say that this young girl and her family are a bunch of liars is unbelievable.
The charges where not dropped because there was no evidence found, Chris pleaded so that he would only get a max of 8 years ,when we all know he deserves more than that for the crime he committed. The family of the victim was fine with the plea bargain, to save the child from testifying. The charge that Chris is pleading guilty to still makes him a register as a sex offender, that might save more children in the future.
Your time,support and thoughts should be with the children in this case, including your nephews, who for the next several years will not have there father, and hopefully they will have limited visitation with the rest of the family. The way you are treating the family of the victim is outrageous.(If I was in this situation I would have nothing to do with the Fetzer/Heath family). Heidi it's wonderful that you want to support your brother but at the same time you shouldn't hurt the innocent people in this situation ( the victims family).

To all parents, friend and relatives of any child,

Please believe a child when they finally are able to tell you they've been hurt or touched inappropriately by an adult. It is so incredibly damaging to a child that has been sexually violated to not be believed. This could lead to serious behavioral problems, mental & emotional issues, the inability to have meaningful relationships, and substance abuse when they become teens and adults.

If you're told by a child of something inappropriate that happened to them, stay calm, don't cry, keep a low tone, try to stay unemotional, and get as much detail as you can. If you start to freak, they will freak. Reassure them that they did the right thing, love them, then call the police.

I cannot tell you how devastating it is to see a mother not believe her children when they say "grandpa hurt me". That mother has lost the trust of her children. It is so sad. It is so incredibly damaging to the children. It absolutely infuriates me.

It's much harder to face the messy horrible truth than to live in denial and make excuses for the perverts, but it is our moral duty to protect the children of our community, so let's buck up and do it.

I know as a single parent to young children, I am pleased that the child in this case will not have to face this person who hurt her in court. I think that this child and her family need a tremendous amount of support and understanding. For the safety and wellbeing of the community I think that all parents should attend the sentencing in support of the child, and as a community to let predators like this know that we will not allow this to happen in our community without major consequence in our legal system. Maybe our court system will deliver harsher punishment against people who prey on young children. The community should attend any sentencing that has to to with someone who preys on children.
I know I will be taking time from my schedule to attend the sentencing hearing on June 20th.

(This has nothing to do with the "Fetzer" name or reputation)
