While I certainly agree CA is a manipulator herself and did not raise FCA correctly, FCA is a sociopath and history has shown these evil people don't uniformly come about because of bad parenting. However, had CA and GA done a better job of raising FCA, not enabling her, more discipline, not trying to be Caylee's mom, etc. this tragedy could have been prevented.
To me, once you have isolated who the sociopath is when there is a major felony like this, you've got the cause.
Cindy is a nut but she isn't a sociopath.

I agree Cindy isn't a sociopath. I will disgree because I think the words "nut" and "enabler" are too begnin for Cindy.
There is something fundamentally wrong with a person's reasoning and thinking when they are willing to go to the lengths that CA and GA went to cover for Casey. Normal/Sane people don't behave that way. CA went took enabling to a whole different level. She was the mastermind of creating facade in that family. Casey learned it from her and then took it to the pathological level when she realized there were no consequences to her actions and her mom would actual believe her lies and perpetuate them. George became a gambler and womanizer. Lucky for Lee, at the present time, he appears to have been the least affected by the crazy gene.
