Joseph Defends Crump Family Against Online Allegations
Caretaker for St John’s Rural West, Michael Joseph, has condemned what he described as a smear campaign against the family of the late Chantel Crump.
His comments come in response to a social media post by Jessica Cassandra Roland, who accused Crump’s relatives of being “greedy” and soliciting funds.
Joseph said the allegations were baseless and unfair, particularly towards Marsha and Ernest Crump, Chantel’s grieving parents. “My experience with the family has been the complete opposite,” he said, adding that he has worked closely with them since Chantel was first reported missing.
He stressed that at no point did the family request or hint at financial assistance. “The only request made was for help organising the candlelight vigil, which I sponsored willingly,” he said.
Calling for compassion, Joseph said it was disheartening to see assumptions made about a family still grappling with immense loss. “The public is reminded that what we see isn’t always what it appears to be,” he said.

The language used by Miss Roland leaves me to wonder if her motives were indeed pure.
It is unconscionable to hear of functions being put on in the memory of one’s late departed daughter, departed under such gruesome method, and the parents’ permission was never sought.
To then try to disparage the parents in the way she did is vulgar, rude, distasteful and downright nasty.
To Mr. Crump and family, you are right to seek public apology and removal of the post; or else……
Labour news portal is pushing its candidates.
No publicity especially for budding politicians is bad publicity.
I guess they will soon show us all theor candidates “riding” donkeys.
They may show us Freeland gibing chase to the person who stole the auction money.
They may also show us Michael Joseph chasing his ex with a Manchester.
We shouldn’t be shocked to to Lazimeen raining blows on a woman and Balty pulling a 40ft container to his home from the port.
We may see Max moving his depict cinema and dropping it in the vicinity of old parliament building.
Oh my!!!
Labour really knows how to make mockery of people.

Seems like Jessica is a SCAMMER AND CON ARTIST!!! Preying on the vulnerable and looking attention at other people’s expense! Jessica needs help.
It’s good to see someone standing up for the family during such a tough time.
Online allegations can be so damaging … omg
Joseph is absolutely right to defend the Crump family. No one should be subjected to online hate, especially in such a tragic time.
This is why we need to be careful with what we say online, especially when emotions are high.”
The Crump family has already suffered enough. Stop this nonsense
The internet can be a toxic place. We need more people like Joseph, who stand up for what’s right.
It’s disheartening to see such allegations spread without any proof. The Crumps need healing, not judgment.
I hope this message helps people understand the importance of supporting others, especially during tragic times.
kudos to joseph
The Crump family deserves our respect and understanding.”
The family is already going through so much.
Hopefully, justice will prevail for Chantel Crump, and the family gets the support they need.
I honestly hope that this is not true
Where did jesscia even get her proof to make those accusations?
Joseph’s defense shows the importance of empathy and understanding in such sensitive situations.
This sick me stomach. The little girl’s death after the fact is creating such a monstrous display. Everyone just need to let all them negativity go. Honestly, I was a witness to one of the events n the Parents was all in dem glee collecting funds.
