Caylee's Law is an incredible idea and would give recourse against people who are negligent about reporting children missing. Obviously it would be considered on a case by case basis to avoid abuse or misunderstandings, but if willful negligence could be determined then I think such people should be felons and spend time behind bars. It is certainly an obligation for professionals to report suspected child abuse, why would this be any different? A missing child could automatically be considered potentially abused and not reporting it make one an accessory, imo.
Also, I would like to see something on the books (or at the least public pressure) to combat the kind of "checkbook journalism" that ABC and others engaged in that allowed the defendant and her family to profit off the helpless victim of a violent crime.
I will be writing ABC's parent company, Disney, and asking that they counterbalance the huge fee they paid the murder suspect of a child victim by making an equal donation to an organization like TES that actually searches for missing children instead of seeks to make murder victims appear to be missing in order for personal gain.
But I wish there could be laws, either state or federal, or at least public pressure, to minimize situations like this or others in which persons of interest or suspects (ie: Misty, Ron, KC, etc. which are often family in the early stages) could not use the image or personal effects of the victim to personally profit in any way, shape or form in an active investigation. It creates a huge conflict of interest and could reasonably be considered motive in future cases.
I doubt the media wants to put itself in a position in which it could be considered as the source of an incentive to kill, but if they cannot refrain from the sordid "checkbook journalism", I'd like to see them at least balance the potential damage they cause by donating to worthy victim's rights causes or organizations.
