I disagree with your disagreement
I hear what you are saying, Lanie, and I respect your thoughts and opintions. My thoughts are that they did not think Caylee was fine. They considered her missing, and a missing two year old can not take care of themselves. They were looking for her. They were looking for her because they did not think she was fine.
I don't know if they were thinking KC had killed Caylee. Maybe. Maybe not. They knew KC was a sociopath. Maybe they didn't have a word for it, but they knew her, and they knew there was something diabolical about her. It's in their actions dealing with her for a long time.
Maybe my statement that nobody cared about Caylee is too extreme, not an accurate assessment. Maybe I was speaking too much from my heart on a bad day (doc dump info).
Perhaps it is more accurate to say that this dysfunctional family cared more about keeping their secrets, their private world, their perceived fairy tale front to the world than about Caylee. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that they cared about Caylee in their own dysfunctional and inadequate way.
Maybe they were incapable of doing any better. They had critical responsibilties to Caylee they didn't meet, and that contributed to Caylee ending up murdered. They still have critical responsibilities to Caylee they are not meeting, and that is contributing to a risk that Caylee will not get the justice she deserves.
I still can't forgive them or give them a pass, Lanie. I can't say that how they are or what they did or didn't do is okay. A defenseless two year old baby is murdered. Until we are all willing to look at why and how, take responsibility, and take action, there will be more and more and more murdered defenseless children. I can't find any other way to curtail it.
