I echo everyone elses sentiments exactly...it's like a nitemare that no one will wake me up from.
Try as I might to just go on and forget this mess there are a few questions that immediately pop into my head and will just not leave.
Apparantly the jury did believe the accidental drowning defense and/or ICA was not responsible in any way for the death of her child Caylee.
Given that,she admitted to being there when Caylee drowned and then George yelled at her and (while were not quite sure what happened after that it was intimated that) then with her knowledge disposed of Caylee's body I've learned a few things about the Law!! Ive learned that....
You CAN'T beat your kids,
you CAN'T just let them run as they please and possibly endanger themselves
you CAN'T let them go hungry,
you CAN'T not provide them shelter,
you CAN'T not give them medical care if needed,
you CAN'T not educate them, etc.
as ALL that is illegal!! And you WILL be prosecuted!!
BUT....this verdict has made it perfectly clear that...
Neglecting your child enough to allow her to come to die under your care,is NOT a crime!!
Hiding your dead child's body is NOT a crime!!
Failing to report your child missing, EVER, is NOT a crime!!
Hindering and refusing to cooperate in finding your missing child is NOT a crime!! (except if you lie to LE)
Disposing of your childs body by putting it in a trash bag and throwing it in a swamp is NOT a crime!! (not even littering? Not even as an accessory?? She SAID she knew Caylee was dead and George was disposing the body right? )
None of those things are illegal,they're not even Child abuse or neglect evidently...
Im sure this information will be extremely interesting to, and will go a long way towards getting future child abusers and psychopathic parents off the hook for killing their children.
Just DO any or ALL the above without fear of guilt!
Simply because, you haven't injured/damaged your child... youve KILLED your Child
UNREAL.....
