If my 20 yr old son had died in a car wreck,and it turned out he had a child out there somewhere, I would really be devastated if it was kept from me. That is evil, imo.
If he was never told IMO it's a big freaking deal! He was denied his parental rights! That is wrong on so many levels!
Not meant to be snarky but what is the big deal about knowing who is Caylee's father? The dad was never in her life and now the baby is deceased so what difference does it really make?
If he showed up tomorrow what difference would it really matter?
Thanks for all of your posts! Just a few personal thoughts of my own on the birth dad issue:
a) Caylee's father,
if alive, may not even know he ever got Casey pregnant.
Casey (or Casey AND her mom) MAY have not wanted him/his family in Caylee's life and may have withheld that information from him on purpose.
b) Caylee's father,
if alive, may have been directly lied to by Casey (I know that's hard to believe) about who Caylee's father is. It certainly wouldn't surprise me if at the time Casey got pregnant she was also having sex with other men and had moved on to another before the birth father even knew he had impregnated Casey.
Since I have a hard time believing anything the Anthony family says, just because they all say that Caylee's birth father died doesn't make it true. That's what worries me the most. With all the family dynamics I have witnessed thus far (and all the dynamics that have yet to be revealed about that family), it wouldn't surprise me if they all know exactly who the father is and they have their own reasons for not wanting it known.
For me, I don't need to know the "name" of the father, but I would certainly feel a lot better if I knew for sure that "someone" did investigate and find out who the birth father is/was and at least notified him and/or his immediate family (if he is truly deceased).
Since Casey is currently on trial for the tragic death of her daughter, Caylee Marie, (premeditated or accident), it would be likewise tragic if Caylee's birth father was also a victim of Casey's lies/psychopathic/sociopathic/narcissistic behavior.
I just want to make sure that all those victimized by Casey Anthony receive the justice they deserve. Somewhere out there, Caylee's birth father and his extended family have lost a beautiful, sweet, captivating, innocent daughter, granddaughter, and yes, possibly even a sister that they may have never even knew existed.
I can only hope that with the extensive media coverage that someone has already come forward behind the scenes and that they, too, are mourning the loss with all of those who fell in love with Caylee.
