The buzz of the country this week, and quite possible outside our borders, is the Casey Anthony trial. A range of emotions have come over me about the whole situation. Anger, Sadness, Dispair, Frustration....it goes on.
There are so many questions that will probably never be answered. I know that the jury actually got it right - and I, like many, are not happy about that. The prosecution rushed to get this case tried and did NOT get the evidence needed to confict this "mother".
Let's say, go with me on this, that Caylee did drown in the pool. Why would a parent lie about it and cover it up??? WHY????? I think about my own kids. FIRST thing I would do if I found my child unresponsive is call 911...not think of how to cover it up. Make it look like a murder???? Lie to investigators and say she was taken by a babysitter?? Ridiculous. Lies, Lies, Lies. That angers me beyond belief. I have to believe that one day, she will get her just punishment. She has to live with the knowledge and memories of what REALLY happened. Like I said, we may NEVER know what REALLY happened to that beautiful little girl.
I read an article on the internet about a woman that created a petition proposing legislation "Caylee's Law", that would make it a felony for parents or caregivers to not report the death of a child to authorities -- accidental or otherwise -- within one hour. It also would make it a felony for guardians to not notify law enforcement of the disappearance of a child within 24 hours. Check it out... http://www.change.org/petitions/create-caylees-law
I think it's a start. It doesn't make this little girl come back, but maybe it can give meaning to her life and senseless death.
Hug your kids, parents. They trust you to take care of them. They depend on you for their well being. If you feel you can not handle the rigors and responsibility of being a parent after you've already had them - find someone to take them for you. Walk away.....it's that easy....walk away.
May God bless Caylee. Caylee - watch over all the little ones in need of an angel.
