It looks like they found Caylee Anthony

You know, whereas there may be some truth to what you are saying, there really is no reason to resort to language like that!! "The b.. needs the chair, the little wench in prison" "five minutes alone with her without ramnifications...". Come on now!

i see your point innocent until proven guilty but even a bounty hunter admitted himself he is kicking his own butt for bailing her out so he know alot more then he is allowed to tell.

but i just don't like how the story goes. daughter is missing for a month THen you report her missing. things like that make me sick in the first place whether she did something herself or not, that right there doesn't seem right!

JMO and nobody has to like it.

This kind of topic just stirs up a lot of emotion and passion in all of us. A poor defenseless little girl lost her life and perhaps at the hand of her own mother

you are very right catherine and it pinch a nerve with me. i work with lots of children through the special needs scouts. many their special needs were caused by abuse and neglect from their own birth parents! the thought of abuse,neglect, or just general harm with children really gets my anxiety ticking. hence the very emotional,angry post. which sorry to carola if it offended you but sometimes i just cannot control those thoughts and i type how i speak at the moment. and also tend to come from an angry place on the topic. its quite personal.


so whether casey did anything involving her daughter's disappearance, she did very little to protect her daughter and she behaved as if she didn't care!!! that upsets me a great deal and IN MY OPINION makes her guilty of at least child neglect. no we cannot prove she did anything but she doesn't seem to innocent IMO. maybe it will be proven otherwise but somebody knows something and nobody is telling, that makes them just as guilty.

I am just as outraged about that little girl as everyone else. From what I have heard it sure appears like her mother had everything to do with the Caylee's disappearance and apparent death. All I am saying is, that things are not always what they appear to be and there may be more than meets the eye. And that I have become quite leary of the media, just remembering what they reported about the Ramseys and half of it turned out to be not true.

I do think that there is something really fishy with Casey Anthony and her story. I am just not quite ready to jump on the "she is guilty as sin" band waggon yet. The fact that she wouldn't report her daughter missing is mind boggling to me. On the other hand, by all accounts she was a good mother to that little girl up to that point, so something doesn't add up for me.

But don't get me started on that "bounty hunter". He just had to posture himself to booste the ratings of his failing "Bounty Hunter" show on the National Geographic channel. Like everyone else he doesn't know a thing because if he did he would have already sold it to the networks. There is no reason why he couldn't talk!

I can't help it but my heart goes out to her parents. They appear to want to desperately belief that the little girl is still alive and I do think that they are in a state of denial. I don't think that they are "bad" people.

Obviously, the worst part is the senseless death of a precious little girl. Whatever happend this is a tragedy and I do understand that emotions can run high for many of us. I am just always hesitant to judge what happened based on media reports without any "hard" facts.

Hi Carola!

So glad to see you are feeling well and still very much engaging in interesting and thought-provoking discussions. I always appreciate hearing your POV on whatever the topic may be.

I do hear what you're saying and embrace the concept of innocent until proven guilty, BUT the evidence IMO is extremely compelling that Casey did indeed have a hand in it, whether accidental or pre-meditated. My opinion isn't based solely on media reports but also on the hundreds of pages of investigative documents released by the sheriff's office. I don't feel that I am necessarily on a band wagon when I say I believe she is guilty. True, it is up to a court of law; however, the court system doesn't always get things right, either. We've seen many examples of the guilty being set free and innocent folks punished. So sometimes, even those privvy to all the facts (as they are presented) aren't able (or willing) to carry out justice. Just another perspective.

Thanks Cathy!!! That was very nice of you to say.

I may have not conveyed clearly what I meant. I do believe that whatever happened to Caylee her mother had either a hand in it or knows what happened. I would have to be really ignorant if I didn't realize or acknowledge that.

What I am saying is, none of us, the media included, can possibly know what exactly happened and yet there are hundreds and thousands of media reports speculating (like for example Casey Anthony got rid of her daughter because she wanted to party) and people repeating it as the truth. Now, I am not denying that it is a possibility that Casey Anthony killed her daughter because she wanted to party, but it is also possible that she accidentally killed her daughter and concucted a story to cover it up. And even with those hundreds of pages of police reports (that I am sure that neither one of us has truly read page by page but instead relied on the media to tell us what is in there ) we don't know.

I think it does make a difference if it was an accident or if she deliberately killed Caylee. Or if it was someone she knows who did that and she is covering.

And as I said, we don't know yet if it was premeditated murder or an accident. What we know is that a little girl is missing and apparently dead and that her mother's story makes no sense and is in fact quite suspicious. So my issue really is that people are speculating about what has happened and selling it as the truth.

Yelling that the "b---ch needs the chair", etc. without having all the facts is not only premature but is also language that I do have a problem with.

As to Casey Anthony's parents, I am only stating that I think they are in denial and that their reaction of wanting to believe their daughter, either because Casey is their child or because they want to hang on to the hope that Caylee is still alive, is a reaction that I understand, but not necessarily condone.

I remember several years back when everyone crucified the Ramseys for JonBenet's death and years later it turned out that they had nothing to do with it. But when we were reading the paper, watching tv, listening to the DA/police briefings and listening to people on street the Ramseys were as guilty as sin.

carola,

i already stated i apologize and didn't mean to offend and that i do come from an angry place on the topic. i should have thought before i typed anything but do you really have to keep bringing it up in 3 different posts to make me feel bad? i know i could have worded it differently and how many times does it have to be thrown in my face!!! i see your point,don't jump to conclusions, but now your just using me as an example and that kind of stings! whether she did anything at all or if it was an accident or not i really felt she neglected her daughter,thus the angry post.its a touchy issue with me so excuse me for having a strong opinion.

I am not trying to be nitpicky but I quoted you in two posts, Kassia, one directly to you and one explaining my position again to Cathy. And no, I did not do it to make you feel bad and "throwing it in your face" it was in reference to my view. This post wasn't about you personally.

I think we can both agree that she neglected her daughter but I think that there is a huge difference between neglect, an accidental death or pre-meditated murder and I would think that we can agree that the punishment should be different for neglect than for pre-meditated murder.

As I said before, we all get emotional about the senseless (apparent) death of a precious little girl but angry rhetoric and premature judging is a touchy subject for me. So excuse me for also having an opinion about that and voicing it.

Hey Carola,

Believe it or not, I read nearly all of the first 400 pages that were released. No kidding. Time to get a life maybe? *lol* What can I say, I was seriously engrossed by the case.

Still, I hear you. You are right—we don’t know for certain; we are just speculating and entertaining theories as we would with any other major crime case. But that is a good point about the Ramseys. Duly noted! As posted previously, I do agree with you re: the grandparents being in deep denial. The whole thing is just very sad.

Kassia,

Don’t feel bad. I think it’s understandable to react strongly to a case like this and feel some anger directed toward the killer(s).
