Caylee Anthony General Discussion Thread #160

Question for those of us with kids:

How closely are you letting your kids follow this?

I am so glad you ask that question....I have seen remarks from some about their kids saying something about Caylee, and I have so wanted to ask why are you letting your kids even know about this. I have 8 grandkids from 8 months to 9 years old...none of them need to remotly be involved in this...imo.

My kids know there is a little girl missing and her mother isn't a nice lady because she isn't helping police find her. They are six. I figure that's enough info.

 

[MitchLite]

I don't mean to sound dense, but with this latest information, what is the vigil for?

Honest? So Cindy can continue to rant and rave about how nobody is doing anything to find her grandchild, and how LE is doing nothing but trying to put her daughter in jail.

Look, this lady LOVES the attention. Shes been going on EXTRA and a CURRENT AFFAIR because the main streem media is done with her game. It's a pattern, keep going and going and using and using, just like her daughter

My daughter heard on the news (I happened to have on Fox News on XM radio one day).. she asked if Caylee was missing, and said that she must be very scared not to have her mommy. (My daughter is 6). I said something like "you're probably right, but she'll be home soon". Unfortunately, just not the way we all hoped.

I personally think they should just pack it up and leave from the Anthony home if G & C start up with the lies at the vigil. If they refute the evidence, put blame on unknown subjects who tote corpses around tow yards, talk about thier impending civil lawsuit against LE for arresting Casey, talk about finding Caylee alive and with Zanny, say that a liar does not make a murderer...etc, etc. etc. The media should REFUSE to record any more of these ridiculous theories!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, Cindy, liars aren't always murderers, but murderers are MOST CERTAINLY ALWAYS LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My oldest, at 5, knows that there is a little girl missing and that the little girls mother probably killed her. (She lays in bed and listens to Nancy Grace when I have it on. She is sneaky like that.)

My two year old knows that there is a little girl named Caylee that disappeared and asks if I am going to find her body
That one is probably my fault...he has heard me explain that I work at making matches between missing people and John/Jane Does. So t o him, if there is a missing person, then I am going to find their body sometime.

Please stay safe that is your priority, your family's safety, if Casey had one ounce of your concern her little girl this would not be taking place. My prayers will be for all of FL to get through these storms safe and for Caylee to be found so justice can prevail.

Thanks so much. I swear I think the only exercise I've had in the past couple of weeks is clicking the mouse to follow this case, and putting up and taking down hurricane shutters.

OT...sort of...I have personal knowledge of this sort of thing. I have a step-daughter, 19, and Husband whose relationship was alot like Casey and Cindy, imo. When we first got together, it was almost unbearable, I almost left. It has taken 4 years, and I'm a counselor, to break through! He would never believe she did anything wrong, unless he saw it with his own eyes, literally! And it was bad, theft of money, items, lying...she, too, I believe is a pathological liar. BUT...he sees it now. He realized that he was doing her no favors, by buying into the bull, it only re-enforced the behavior, that was the angle I pursued. Hey, it was working for her! It isn't now, thank God! Not to say, she doesn't still lie, she does. But it's alot easier for me, when I know he's not being bamboozled, and there are consequences, there is then hope.

so you must see right through this family? I mean, I know they have done everything they could to pull on the heart strings of everyone involved.

Does she get paid for appearances on these shows? Hmmm...just sayin'

my kids are older 13 & 19 but they are aware of this they dont watch the news but they see me on here and will ask questions about it and i tell them what the breaking news is at the time they ask, i dont go out and tell them they have to ask me then i tell.

Not at all. They are busy with their own lives. I think it is very disturbing to a Child to even imagine a Mother could kill their own Child. I know it's true, it happens unfortunately, but that will be there for them to discover in a few years. I counseled a Woman, years ago, whose Mother did try to smother her, as a child. Her pain is still fresh in my mind. If ones own Mother could try to kill them, how can they trust anyone.

I don't think kids need to know this information either. Unfortunately, there are times when kids hear or see things you don't mean for them to.. you can't shut the tv or radio off fast enough, and certain things just catch their attention. As long as you're not dwelling on the subject, or talking about it around them or whatever.. and certainly not letting them put together a vigil for the little girl (like that poor 12 yr old).. then I think they'll be ok.

My son knows - hadda explain the webcam. He's 11. He knows how I get with certain things (like I made the poor kid watch Pres Reagan's funeral for the *whole* week.) He'll watch the news with me.

My 13 year old really has no idea what is going on.......as soon as he wakes up he is outside. At dinner time, no TV and then back outside until it is dark. He is into his own world (would not have it any other way) and is a happy-go-lucky kid....not a care in the world.:blowkiss:

My oldest is 15 and he watched NG with me the first week it was on. After that first week he said to me, "you do know that little girl is dead don't you?" I said yes, but then asked him why and he said "Mothers that LOVE their children do NOT act like that girl" ( I love that he would not say mother). Simple and straight to the point.

After that he has not been here much due to drumline and having a great time with his friends before school starts.

That baby girl has captured my heart and I am happy that she is safe and being surrounded by love. I'm done typing, since I can't stop crying.

ITA. I hadn't intended on even telling them what I have, but they play "Fifty Excuses" each night to get out of bed and even when I pause Greta or NG when I realize they are out of bed, they still had questions about the little girl on the screen. My DD thinks Caylee thinks is so cute. I don't like to lie to them or cover everything up, because that just makes them more curious, so I try to make my explanations as benign and non-traumatic as possible. Those details will come soon enough in their lives whether I want them to or not.

 

[suspicious mind]

I thought they usually had the vigils in the backyard?

 

[Litig8r]

I agree but...SCARY MONSTER!

Whadya mean "scary monster"? Me?!

 

[sleuthmommy]

They are setting up for the vigil now.
