I voted she was deceased before the trip to get a movie. If this photo has been discussed at length please excuse this post. I haven't see the thread if it has.
Where was this picture taken? It's so dark in the room that Caylee is standing in. Is that a trick of lighting from the flash or was she in a completely darkened room?
Let me say that although I have raised seven children and seen temper tantrums in all forms and fashions in every place imaginable. I've never seen one that looked quite like this one.
This doesn't look like "I want my way". This looks like "I'm scared, I don't know what is happening, pick me up and make me feel safe".
This picture came from KC's photobucket and I assume that she is the one that took that picture. Another thing that pops into my mind is KC silently recording her child on video. Never interacting with the child. Would she take pictures the same way? This picture is haunting, not because Caylee is dead but because of the stress on that child's face.
I'll share with you a short story that popped into my mind when I saw this picture. As a child (elementary school age) I had a friend that many siblings in close age range. I would go over to play with her and she was the only girl of about (I think, I can't remember exactly) 5 kids and the oldest. All born about a year apart. Well her oldest brother was the meanest cuss you ever met, he was a big ol' bully but then again he was probably about 10 or 11. He would lead his younger siblings down to the basement by tricking them with somesuch thing, like candy...and then he would haul butt up the stairs cut off the lights and shut the door. Then giggle as they screamed bloody murder. He grew out of the mean stage and became a good guy later on, but my point is...Caylee looks like she's being mistreated in some way in that photo. But that's just my two cents for what's it is worth.
