I have been lurking for several weeks following this case. Now, with the news today I wanted to write to say "There but the grace of God go I." I also wanted to say thank-you to all of you for caring so much about this little girl. My husband and I adopted our two beautiful granddaughters a few years ago. However we had to wait until the law thought the kids were being abused/negected enough to even get the authorities involved. We were told since we were providing all of the financial/emotional care for the children that the children could not be considered neglected.It really is very hard for grandparents to keep the grandkids without consent. I was even threatened with arrest for kidnapping. Meanwhile my daughter who is bi-polar was abusing meth, which caused her to turn manic, yet she still had an amazing ability to make everyone else think she was great. Eventually DCF took the kids and placed them with us. Five long years and financial ruin later, we have two beautiful children that were saved from the possible ending poor Caylee endured.(we had to hire an attorney to keep the state from letting her get the kids back) Our girls suffered abuse by others entrusted with their care, because of the state failing to act. Through out the 5 years of one courrt date after another I saw the PARENTS having the rights and the children are possessions with no rights.We were a normal family and had another daughter that we had no problems with, but this one had a serious mental health problem for which she refused treatment. Now 8years later my daughter has been clean for 6 years, is under a Dr's care and is also doing well.
This type of situation causes incredible stress in the home. The mother of the child will never give custody up to anyone as long as she can use the child as a money tree. I dropped my daughter off at greyhound with a one way ticket out of state and told her I never wanted to speak to her again, nor would the children until a Dr. confirmed she was clean and in treatment and on meds. I think for poor Caylee it's too late. Mental illness and drug abuse destroys families, we were one of the lucky few that made it out okay. God bless you all for all off your devotion to helping Caylee.

Welcome Grandmaof2. I am new here, but am so thankful I found this site.

This world definitely needs more people like you... God Bless:blowkiss:
 
Man, I am going to have a hard time sleeping tonight, this whole thing makes me so sad.
My beautiful 19 year old was with me this morning before she returned to her job as a lifeguard at Disney. She was telling me with tears in her eyes about the Make-A-Wish kids who are staying at one of the hotels and how she tries to help them enjoy the pools.
I wish parents who wanted children wouldn't have to watch them suffer a painful illness and I wish Casey had one tenth of the empathy my DD has.
 
I am just reading and learning this horrible development for the past hour and I am thinking how wonderful it was that I was oblivious to this awful news for most of the day. Had I known this earlier I would not have been able to enjoy the brownies that my 11 year old son baked...His first time...and they were delicious. He amazes me. That being said...I cannot fathom a mother doing what Casey did. I am absolutely sick in my heart. Please, please, please hug your children a little bit longer tomorrow...cherish your loved ones ...count your blessings...I agree with some of the previous posters that CA is a monster through and through.
Actually, I think it is quite appropriate that you enjoyed brownies with your son. Hugs and love for our families have to be the good that comes from this.
 
The Anthony's and their denial remind me of the Neil Entwistle case. His parents truly believed Rachel committed suicide and killed baby Lillian when all the evidence proved otherwise. Makes you wonder...
 
Pretty amazing. And he's a REAL cowboy. (Of course if LP would just get some rope around Casey, I'd give him cowboy kudos too!)

Oooo....good idea! LOL.

BTW, love your kitty...he's adorable...belly scritches, huh? Mine does that too...flops down in front of me, demanding "magic fingers."

That aint no joke! HoseA HoseA HoseA, I don't know why that cracks me up so bad.:bang:
Oh, I just figured it out. Cindy wasn't going to turn the HOSE on the reporters, she was going to turn HoseA on the reporters... See, I knew she wouldn't be dumb enough to use the threat of water in the middle of a tropical storm.

I second that. I am blessed everyday both sets of my grandparents are alive. My parents divorced when I was very young, and my fathers parents (my gaga and papa) really helped me through it. I love them dearly and they are TRULY a blessing and important part of my life. They taught me many things and really taught me the meaning of family and love. God bless you.

Hello Everyone! I am a newbie. I feel like I already know so many of you from reading all of the posts.
I too have been consumed by this case and just like everyone else I was holding out hope for the safe return of precious little Caylee. This does not look like a happy ending. My heart goes out to George, Cindy, & Lee. I realize that people are suspicious of their behaviour and feel that they may have played a role in this, but I strongly disagree. I think that what we have seen from them is denial and grief. They know what is going on but will cling to any shred of hope their deceitful daughter will throw at them. They are victims of this tragedy too and they will need support to see them thru this. You know that they are closer to the realization and unlike Casey this will devastate them.

I honestly feel that Caylee was probably crying for Cindy when Casey snapped. Remember the flurry of phone calls? Why did no one answer her calls? I believe that it had just hit the fan about the stolen checks from the grandparents. I think that there is a possibility of Caylee crying during this time and with each unanswered call Casey made, the angrier she became. All it would have taken is for little Caylee to continue to cry out for her grandmother to push Casey over the edge at this point. It breaks my heart to think of little Caylee's tear stained face begging to see her grandmother. That would have completely enraged Casey and she lashed out.

This was no accident because you can be sure that if it had been, Casey would have been quick to call 911 for help, thus allowing her to become a victim of a terrible tragedy. It would also take the heat off of her for all of the theft. No, this was no accident, this was a sick twisted, form of revenge to spite the people who truly loved Caylee.

George, Cindy, & Lee, you are all in my prayers. Precious little Caylee, you have touched our hearts, and our lives will never be same.
 
It was so nice to finally post. I just want to say by adopting my granddaughters, my husband and I feel we are the ones that have been blessed. Everyday we thank God for giving us the chance to be their Mommy and Daddy and to keep them safe. There is nothing in this world, money retirement ect. that could possibly warm my heart the way they do. Good-Night all. Maybe tommorrow we will hear it was a drug dealer in the trunk! I will keep hoping and praying until the end against all logic.
 
Wow your on the email list to :Banane37: You may not be able to fill those boots :Banane21:

NOW Casey should drive around with the big rolling billboard and her opening band tagging along behind her.
