I've followed this case quite closely from day 1 for a very personal reason. My own daughter has been in prison for almost 5 years for child abuse. Her victim was my greatgrandson (her own grandson). She got 20 years (10 in prison and 10 probation).
When pretrial called me to see if I had any input, I told them honestly that I had seen no problem with her EVER around kids, but that I would not support her in court or at any other time. I was more concerned for her innocent VICTIM. I think they were kind of shocked. My hands are shaking writing this, but I've read here forever and thought it'd be ok to share here.
I was not in court I seldom write to my daughter (it's been over a year), I've never sent her a dime and I don't visit or speak to her on the phone. When and if she owns up and apologizes to her daughter and her victim, things can and will change. I feel this is the best way and I do love my daughter. I hope she learns something from this, but as far as I'm concerned, she can stay in jail forever if she doesn't.
Thanks for listening. I'd have a drink, but it's not even noon. LOL
Ya'll are mahvelous !!
Thank you for sharing! This is a great point of view from someone who knows how it feels. Thank you so much.
It is really sad to see that a family would go to such lengths to lie and interfere with the truth coming to light. That their daughter can sit there in court and get mouthed "I Love you" from her parents and not at all feel guilty for anything. I mean no anger or anymousity at all for anything. If I were KC why should I care about the horrible thing I did at the very least the A's have to put two and two together that KC did have Caylee in her possesion and Caylee was alive and then wasn't and that KC lied for a month about Caylee being fine and with a person that didn't exist. AT LEAST be angry at that. Instead we see two parents that refuse to publicly show any anger toward their child just to save face. Behind closed doors it may be different, we don't know. We see a mother (CA) who would rather be seen as a liar herself than as a mother who may have failed at saving her granddaughter from abuse and death. A mother of a murderer. It must be hard but not worth pretending that Caylee is alive, when you know she is gone.
Caylee was so beautiful, sweet and innocent and just to know that one day she was happy and smiling and the next she was in a bag dead so very close to her grandma and grandpa's house while her mommy laughed, danced, had sex, smoked pot, drank, went shopping and was starting a new life with her new man and lied about her being at disney and the beach and being loved just breaks my heart. She SHOULD have been at disney and cocoa beach. SHE SHOULD have been loved more and watched more and after her death her grandparents should have at LEAST confronted their daughter and accused her of lying, stealing, neglect and some kind of involvement in all of this, not proclaim she was mother of the year and is the CEO of their family.
Even at the very least just remain silent. They could have just stayed in their home silent, without adding lies to confuse things, silent without making things up about swat teams just to make them look good.
I can go on and on. sorry MO
And now they want to be in the court room? For what? To sit and listen to others protect Caylee while they sit and whisper I love to KC?
I mean do they really want KC to go free? Then what? She comes home they have chili and Caylee is forgotten? Another grandchild perhaps?
Makes me sick.
