Thanks for the instructions, here it is.
Hit enter too soon...
Judging by Ashley's reaction, I'd say there is a good possibility it is indeed her Mom.
I had been waiting for a response before posting this, but it may go to support what you've said. Keep in mind I have no way to verify if the person that sent me this is actually Ashley's mother. If it is I think she would have contacted others here and they can hopefully confirm or disprove, but this is a conversation between me and someone claiming to be her mother.
About Ashley King Caspillo
DR73,
I am Ashley's mother. From the time she was a little girl we had constant problems with her. We raised both our girls to be respectful, honest, and kind to everyone. They were also brought up in Church. But whatever we did it was never enough to satisfy her. We were not wealthy, and she was not spoiled. She was given what every child needs. Two loving parents doing the best that we could. I see that she continues to spread her misery. I thought that finally when she went into the Army, she would straighten out. I truly believe that the only one who can straighten her out is God. Maybe if he came and knocked on her door, she would finally wake up.
Ashley has never taken responsibility for anything, or any action she has made in her life. She also steals anything she can.
We are raising her first son, Ethan, who is a complete sweetheart. She has a new baby now, Kylie, who also is a sweetheart. I pray every moment of the day that the Lord protects Kylie. I think the only reason she got pregnant was because she thought that a judge would give Ethan back to her. We have a custody battle going on right now. Our trial is in Feb. 2011. If she doesn't soon get her life straightened out somehow, we may have to take serious actions against her again. I feel that Kylie is not safe with her and all her creatures.
I apologize for chewing your ear off. I wanted to let someone on the boards know that she is a pathological liar and will do ANYTHING, to get what she wants. She does not care who she hurts.
Thanks for listening, and God bless,
Selma King
and my reply...
Re: About Ashley King Caspillo
Selma,
Sorry to hear things have been so rough. The military is good for making people mature, but lousy when folks have a serious problem, be it personality or psychological or whatever. It tends to exacerbate those issues. I am familiar with custody battles as well as challenged children, it's not a set of circumstances for the feint of heart. The only constructive thing I can say is keep the best interests of you grandchildren in mind in everything you do, and don't stop loving your daughter. Whatever her issues may be, she's still yours and does need you. Honestly, situations are best dealt with by professionals who possess the knowledge in how to guide you, though sometimes that's not even enough. Just keep your chin up and do the best you can, no one can expect more than that.
You said you wanted someone on the board to know this, did you want me to post this conversation, or no? She'll likely take a decent bashing if we do.
Thanks and good luck,
Brad
I'm posting this for the info only if it proves to be accurate, I'd like to avoid the bashing part until Selma is confirmed please.
It is a possibility but without an email addy I can not be 100% sure yet.
I agree, and Ashley does not type like that. At all. Why would Ashley say that?

I'm not quite sure what to say here. I strongly suspect this is Ashley's mother based on other posts she's made around the forum.
Even if it's not, the reality is she IS in a custody battle, and the sort of behavior she has been exhibiting all over the internet does NOT cast her, or reptile keepers in a good light.
On the one hand, I don't want this to turn into child custody fodder.
On the other hand, the reality is there are children and animals involved.
I will say this:
Keeping reptiles and parenting should NOT be considered a bad thing.
Many reptile enthusiasts have raised children safely, and responsibly into adulthood while keeping different varieties of snakes, including venomous.
I am a parent who also keeps a large variety of reptiles, and I would hope that alone would not ever be used against me.
There's so much negativity surrounding reptile owners these days, and we aren't all irresponsible animal hoarders like you see on Animal Planet.
There are people I feel that get in over their heads, but if they are of strong enough responsible character, they do what they feel is best to "FIX" the situations they've created, and they learn from their mistakes.
Wow. Ashley, if that is truly your mom that sent that pm, you have my sympathy. WHat an awful thing for a mom to do. :-(

I'll admit, I'm glad she didn't...lolYeah, I don't understand why she didn't contact someone like Courtney who started this thread, or me who made that statement, or Rachel Wojick or Elizabeth Vos, who have made themselves more prevalent in this thread.
Defection? Start us talking about her personal issues, mother, court..etc and forget about her actions as outlined in the thread..possibly drum up general sentiment that is so easily tapped on forums?
Just throwing it out there...![]()
I don't want this to turn into a child custody issue or what not either...
WHY would I ask for an email or IP trace if I did it... Just because this thread is about me has nothing to do with that... If my mother is seriously PMing ppl, I need to know this information... If ppl would rather PM it to me, that is fine... I just need to know what is said and to who.
