[Peaches the Wonder Cat]

Do the police have any obligation to keep these people anonymous? This is the second person named so far who it is noted wanted to remain anonymous. Is this a fuck up/leak by the police, or do they just not care about anonymizing the names of these witnesses/children?

Third, the preschool teacher also wanted to remain anonymous. FYI some old social media accounts of Kayla's sister are pretty religious so I assume she's going to the same church and was one of the anonymous sources who either talked to cops directly or talked to the pastor.

I would be upset if my anonymity request was denied at first, but knowing about the kids not being fed and clothed properly, the community will be giving them medals.


I think Melin knows. I wonder how long the casino trip was (or "casino trip" if they went to visit their dealer.)

Officer Sweep was the one who gets told that April is a live-in janny.

Technically it didn't say April!

Kayla's sister Jaymelee wanted to remain anonymous too... interesting. Did she also blow the whistle?

Jesus imagine being a little kid and asking the cops who broke down your door if you can get some clean clothes.

The only reason I could see her getting mentioned would be because she was a possible destination to take the kids while Mr. and Mrs. Balldo get booked, but thats just a guess.

Officer Sweep

This is too much, I've officially stayed up too late when I see an officer named "Sweep"

 

[Burnt Effigy]

Here it is, stitched together. Looks like there's a bit more at the bottom that's not shown, though.

 

[Fapcop]

This the nanny? I refuse to believe that there are many chicks in MN with that name.

 

[WhimsicalTrolli]

No child should ask a cop about clean clothes. Fuck rekieta.

 

[Boingboingboingboi]

What is the bar of evidence for probably cause?

the bar is "the totality of the circumstances" would lead a reasonable person to believe X, according to Illinois vs. Gates (1983). much less than "beyond a reasonable doubt" or "preponderance of evidence."

 

[King George III]

This the nanny?

That's a stripper. I refuse to believe that's a nanny. Please Nick, for the love of corn, take this to trial so your former Stripper-Nanny testifies.

 

[Boingboingboingboi]

No it's different...here's more Screenshots...this appears to be AFTER the arrest report and there was some info that had details about the complaints from other people

most interesting thing i see here is the point about someone believing that the youngest kids are not being homeschooled. not sure who would know that or how (ahem, AARON), but definitely not good legally or morally.

Based on the contents of the Pinterest, almost 100% sure it is.

Mentions of being a nanny, resume information from February when she would have left, mentions of Minneapolis, bible quotes that indicate she was having a rough time + at least one post about “keeping your mouth shut”. I’d be shocked if it isn’t her.

 

[Mr.Bucket]

I love how so many people wanted to stay anonymous but the cops from Podunk PD just fuck it all up.

Also note that the nanny, who quit when the household started turning into a coke-fueled fuck den, had been with them for 4-5 years.

That’s most of the younger kids lives and 1/2-1/3 of the older kids life.

That shit is traumatic in itself. The one rock they could count on during the tumultuous last year suddenly disappeared, and was replaced with a (granted hot) coked up mess who did obviously inappropriate things with dad, while mom was pilled out.

Or the raid itself. Imagine being a little kid, and suddenly strangers start knocking on the door. And there are no adults to open it or tell you it’s alright, because dad went to get more blow and mom and new mom are up in their bedroom that they told you, you can never go up to.

I’m thinking it’s probably a blessing that two of the kids were (not!) homeschooled, because imagine the looks of pity and disgust that the older kids got when they showed up in school in their dirty clothes and yesterdays empty lunchbox.

Mea culpa for the errors, its very late.

Im still curious to know what this mystery powder is. Nik tests are those reagents that police use to field test things and apparently they can test every major drug under the sun including heroin and MDMA.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Heres a chart of what they can detect.
Brown-brown is a nigger tier African concoction, plus it has coke mixed in so it should show up on these tests. Maybe its kratom? Its greenish brown (fig2) From the FDA:

While there are no uses for kratom approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, people report using kratom to manage drug withdrawal symptoms and cravings (especially related to opioid use), pain, fatigue and mental health problems

Most people take it orally and its often used as an opioid replacement. Its not chemically similar to actual opioids so it wouldn't show up on those basic reagent kits. You'd need some chemical analysis device like a Thermos Gemini to figure out what it is. The possession and sale of kratom is only restricted only to those under 18 in MN so its one less thing to worry about for the Rekietas.

The short answer is: no. There may be a longer answer involving unusual circumstances, CIs, federal squirrel shit, etc but generally any request to remain anonymous is just that and someone probably shouldn't expect it to work if a case gets built.

One issue is that stuff can't be held back from the defense in most cases, and much ends up as public record via the courts or potentially state freedom of information requests anyway- except as specifically redacted by statute (typically minors and sometimes sexual assault victims). We've already seen copes that "it's all just third hand gossip from one vindictive person" and shit like that. And if the police don't have actual identities as sources, it might as well be. So if you really want to be anonymous, you can just report without giving your name, but the police are much less able to act on it.

The other issue might be that the department(s) in question might never get any third parties (except maybe the occasional journo) requesting stuff and didn't build much of a system to deal with it- so now maybe the little old lady in records is defaulting to just copying and sending out whatever some random internet shitposter asks for without much review. I hope they are careful when it comes to the cameras, since there are kids involved.

negative on all nik tests (lmao) indeed seems to rule out mdma. let's not forget that the detective was a seasoned drug use identifier and so if it's something that he's never seen before then it has to be pretty fuckin obscure or utterly benign. kratom is not a bad suggestion. know-it-all nick very likely had system for self-medicating that probably involved some non-narcotic substances.

 

[Briarthorn Addict]

I love how so many people wanted to stay anonymous but the cops from Podunk PD just fuck is all up.

To be fair, "an anonymous complainant" gives the entire complaint zero credibility should this ever go to court. Without a person ready to swear by the truthfulness of their report, the information therein may as well have appeared to the detective in a dream, as there is no way to prove the veracity of the claims.

From what I gather, your request to stay anonymous means that law enforcement/prosecution should avoid directly using/relying on your complaint, but rather use it to paint a better picture of the case while investigating, if possible.

If any court proceedings should rely on an anonymous report, the identity of whoever made it needs to be revealed so that the defense can argue about the credibility and accuracy of the statement. Likewise, if it should remain anonymous, the defense can argue that it's a fabrication made by the prosecution to conspire against the defense.

I'm sure there's a bunch if exceptions to this (it wouldn't be law if there weren't), but that's the gist of it as I understand it.

Since the search warrant relies primarily on witness reports, and uses livestreams and social media posts only as corroborating those reports, revealing the identities of all the people involved was necessary to ensure evidence gathered during the search couldn't be thrown out on account of it being a fishing expedition.

In fact, since the people who've reported this initially don't seem to be implicated in the crimes, meaning they wouldn't be affored Fifth Amendment protection, they could be forced to testify in court, too.

From my understanding, Anonymity only goes as far as the complaint. The police will not reveal who gave them a tipoff to anyone involved so if the lead goes nowhere it does not effect them. This ends as soon as the arrest is made as thats when tis time to build a case and, presumably, the anonymous tip off no longer needs to worry about backlash against them since fault was found and the case is going forward. So the tipoff proved to be true.

Or, in short, the anonymity is to protect them until the police are ready to charge.

Doubt it’s Kratom. You only see that shot with junkies who are trying to quit or tie over the withdrawals.

Probably some research benzo/stimulant off the dark web?

Very presumption. I'm betting Nick will be spending a lot of time in the shower once it becomes common knowledge that his sister-in-law is an incel prude as well.

 

[Barbarella]

I think the fact that the kids were hungry and dirty is a testament to how fast this thing went downhill. Kids who grow up most of their lives with abusive and neglectful parents manage to feed themselves, and wash clothes, especially a 16 year old. Unless there was zero food in the house, the teen could have opened spaghettios for the other children. But if you’ve been nanny’d and suddenly have to do this, there’s a learning curve.

My legal question: upthread there was talk of the gun charges and a statute was shown. I didn’t find it again, but it had language that drugs and firearms are illegal with words like brandishing, displaying, threatening…a gun in a safe in a garage doesn’t seem to meet the specific language I was reading. I also thought there was one under the bed, same thing. That paragraph seemed poorly worded to me as it did say possession but went on to state what kind of possession (brandishing). As a layman I may be missing the legal definition of common words. Anybody have more insight?
