I KNOW THIS WON'T BE A POPULAR VIEW BUT....
I had issue with that little girl organizing the vigil and being on tv talking about kids only wanting to have fun and not participating. I FOUND IT WRONG, wrong for a 12 year old to put so much pressure on herself or mother allowing her to put so much pressure on herself. Unfortunately the recent developments of the child being hospitalized and being distraught only confirm how wrong it was to allow a 12 year old to get involved with this. We are grown ups and we can't even process what is happening, not a 12 year old. And I have issue with the child being allowed to get so involved with this case and watch the news and the progress of this case.
A child is a child and we should not push them to grow up faster - even if it is about doing good things. Some things are inappropriate for 12 year old kids to be involved BECAUSE THEY ARE EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE TO PROCESS THINGS. And here are the results....the poor girl being in hospital due to the stress of the new revelations.
I am sorry but parents should take a really good hard look on what they are exposing their children. That child should NOT have been allowed to get so emotionally involved in the case from the get go. Who allowed her to watch the news so much in order for the child to want to do something? That child was being over-exposed regarding info on this case and I find that wrong. Ys we live in an awful world and these things happen and we should educate our children about reality and how to protect themselves BUT....that is totally different from allowing them to be exposed in situations that are not age appropriate.
Secondly, it is admirable that the child wanted to do something, but organize a vigil, meet the family of the suspect in this case, talk with them on the phone, and all that? Why did her mother allowed that??????? There were so many other things AGE APPROPRIATE that the child could have done to honor Caylee, support Caylee, etc. etc. Why did the mother allowed that? And what normal adult accepts the emotional support of a 12 year old? That is unethical for the child. Of course the child would be emotionally drained. The responsibility to support emotionally the grandparents, filtering everything with the brain of a 12 year old, no psychologist, no educator would be suprised with the results of this.
