Heather's reply:

Heather Willis. D.O.B. 11-15-90

Paragraph said: Heather told Detectives that she is the step granddaughter of Robert, Christina is allegedly the cousin of Robert and Eddie claims to be Christina's uncle.

Heather said: Red is my step grandfather. Eddie is my uncle, and Christina is my cousin.

Paragraph said: Det. Lyons states that this room would be easy for the girls to access and that both girls showed knowledge of what was in the room and what Robert's business entails.

Response: The room is off limits to Christina and I . My grandmother, Pat, and my grandfather, Red, have clearly stated that to us. We have never went into that room, and we don't "want" too. The door has a lock on it, and is always closed, so it would not be easy for either of us to access.

Paragraph said: When Det. Lyons spoke with Heather Willis he asked whether she has been involved in any sexual contact, she stated, "no, I'm a virgin." Det. Lyons said she said this with hesitance, and made no eye contact.

Response: When he asked me if I had anything to do with sexual contact, I said, "No." I DID NOT say, "No, I'm a virgin." I also did not say it with hesitance, but what did he want me to do, stare at him the whole time he kept asking me inappropriate questions?

Paragraph said: Both Minor girls living in the home are aware of the business that Robert operates and the materials that are in the office.

Response: We had knowledge that Robert operated a home business, and we were not permitted to go into his office. Oh, ya , and my grandfather's OFFICE is ALWAYS LOCKED!

Paragraph said: Det. Lyons and Child Protective Service are concerned about the proximity and relative ease of access of the office (containing pornographic material) to the girls bedroom, the fact that Robert shares the girls room, the lack of information concerning the girls parentage and the lack of any identification for either girl.

Response: First of all, we have no ease of accessing my grandfather's office and I have my OWN room, my cousin doesn't share a room with me or live with me! I'm also too young to carry any identification with me. Oh, ya & Robert does "NOT", share a room with me, and he does "NOT EVER" sleep in my room!

Paragraph said: Heather Willis is in immediate risk of serious harm due to emotional abuse and threat of sexual abuse.

Response: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? Oh, ya , emotional abuse from that detective when he kept calling me a liar, harassing me and trying to put words in my mouth, but I don't know what you're talking about when you say, " threat of sexual abuse."!

Paragraph said: Det. Lyons states that he and Det. Desjardin went to Daly residence on 7-8-03 ...

Response: uhh ... I only saw "1" detective there, only "1" detective was there questioning my cousin & I, and only "1" detective left in the white car. So, where do you come off saying that there was "2" of them there, when my cousin and I only saw "1"!

Paragraph said: Det. Lyons states that he was shown to the girl's bedroom. Robert told the detectives that the girl's share a bed and that he sleeps on the couch in the same room. It is unknown at this time where Eddie is sleeping as he states that he is just visiting the family (license states he is from Plant City, FL). Through another door located off the girl's bedroom is a "home office" for Robert's business "Red's Realm of Romantic Restraint." The business consists of selling and swapping adult pornography. One would have to go through the girls' bedroom to enter the room where Robert maintains his business noted above. Det. Lyons states that this room would be easy for the girls to access and that both girls have showed knowledge of what was in the room and what Robert's business entails.

Response: First of all, the room my cousin and I were sleeping in, was NOT our bedroom. We fell asleep late the night before watching a movie with my grandmother. (We fell asleep around 4:30am.) Second of all, Christina and I don't share a bed, and he doesn't sleep in the same room with us! Third of all, Eddie sleeps in the middle room, and I sleep in the far room by the kitchen where I have my own computer etc. But, yes, he is from Plant City, Florida. OK, like I said before, Christina and I DON'T share a room, and my room is on the other side of the house! Forth of all, one would NOT have to go through my room to enter my grandfather's office. Fifth of all, the room would NOT be easy for my cousin and I to access, and we have respect for my grandfather's office, and we have respect for NOT entering it, like my grandparents have asked us NOT to. Also, like I have said before, my grandfather's OFFICE is ALWAYS LOCKED!

Paragraph said: The department believes that in addition to the jeopardy based on sexual exportation, April Sorell and James Willis also placed Heather in jeopardy due to deprivation of necessities/inadequate care and supervision. This is evidenced by Heather residing in the home where she is exposed to Adult Pornography.

Response: WHATEVER!!! You people don't even know what you're talking about! My parents do NO SUCH THING! My parents love me, and I love them! Oh, ya & I'm NOT exposed to ANY Adult Pornography So what are you talking about!? Come on I'm too young to be left alone, I always have supervision! So make up ALL the lies you want you want (just like you've been doing), because you KNOW it isn't true!
