That is what burns me, that Casey didn't even want the baby and wanted to give it up, but NOooooo, Cindy made her keep the baby. Caylee could have had a much better life and she would still be alive.
Casey was 19 when she had Caylee...Cindy did not "make" her have the baby...Casey was of age and obviously is quite resourceful when she needs to be!
Casey just needed to blame someone. But then Casey saw Caylee could be just the opportunity she had been looking for. She is a lazy, greedy woman who has a sense of entitlement.
She had Caylee and she would always be her "get out of jail free" card with her parents. With Caylee, she would always have a roof over her head, regardless of her bad behavior, would always have money, would always have an excuse to be a lifelong mooch.
Caylee was nothing more than a photo op and a guarantee that she would always have what she wants without having to work for it. But then Casey found out being a parent is hard and her footloose ways needed to stop...this was not part of her master plan...
