I have been saying this from day one - that bank account theft was way too old to have been an issue, and what else could get CA that angry but something involving her granddaughter?
And let's remember - Cindy was probably highly curious as to where Caylee had been for the preceding week. A lot of folks think they had a fight on June 9th initially (probably because Cindy had taken off the week of her birthday, was expecting to spend time "bonding" with KC and Caylee and essentially ending up being ditched and forced to babysit most of the time). I think KC stormed out then and was spending the nights either at RM's (which he has verified for a night or two on June 10th) or other friends (perhaps AT or others). Not exactly an environment for a toddler.
A highly verbal toddler can be pumped for information using yes-no questions as well. Language skills for hearing generally precede those for speaking and Caylee probably understood far more complex sentences than she could even verbalize. I can certainly see CA asking all kinds of questions about where they were sleeping and what the arrangements were and what sorts of things Caylee might have seen people doing when she was away from home. Especially since KC had taken Caylee away from her home for the first time ever it sounds like. That probably worried CA no end, particularly since she may have been seeing the psychologist around then and was starting to think KC should be kicked out and she might need to take Caylee herself. Because she was worried about not only the legal costs but the costs of daycare I think - that whole situation would have been highly charged and full of emotion for her on that level, I'd bet.
KC was in no big hurry to come home that day either, finally pulling in around after 8:30 or so. If CA confronted her about things Caylee admitted to during her trip to Mt. Dora, that might have also infuriated KC, regardless of whether a fight ensued We have always speculated about the use of duct tape and the possibility of the meaning of a heart sticker. What better way than to show Caylee she is never going to talk again - stamped with the symbol KC gave all Caylee's photos - an icon perhaps to show ownership - Caylee belongs to KC and not CA and therefore KC is the one who decides her fate and whether she talks, not CA.
I'm sure it's been said a thousand times, but,
I think Cindy had told KC her plans to seek guardianship of Caylee, for many reasons.
i'm sure she knew that Caylee was going to grown up parties, and Cindy had seen some pics.
I don't doubt that Cindy and George love/d Caylee.
Even if the rest of the minds were messed up.
I think stealing from her grandma meant Cindy couldn't ignore it anymore, and she told KC her plans.
And the real fight was always about KC being first.
The video of KC and Caylee playing on the floor, all they see is Caylee.
KC could have been bleeding to death and they wouldn't have noticed.
All they saw was Caylee.
Pretty normal for the youngest person in the room who doesn't steal from you or your mom, and call you all kinds of horrible names to be the one who is looked on with love and adoration.
It was coming to a head, and then it did.
KC wasn't going to let her mom kick her to the curb in the motherhood role.
"If I can't have her, you sure can't." Thus the fight over burial/creamtion.
We all saw how KC hated that Cindy got the final say in the end.
she hates her parents, imo, even now.
She wanted to hurt them, so she killed Caylee. Spiteful, you bet.
She could have adopted her out though and accomplished the same thing.
