Support Network for Anthony family

[anastacia129]

God helps those who help themselves. Its never to late to change.

I am going to use these posts as a examples. I hope you don't mind.
This is constructive criticism or solutions and not done in a bashing way. Neither of these posters support the Anthony's in general but were able to add their 2 cents in a reasonable way.
If you don't support and have a suggestion and can present it without bashing that would be great.

Thanks, JB. Sorry...didn't see this.

I think that most have sympathy and compassion for G&C as greiving grandparents and the thought that they might not ever see their daughter outside of prison walls. But the reality is that we can not see that, all we can see is that this child needs to be found and put to rest. I think that I would have more sympathy for them if they would just do what ever it takes to assist LE whether they believe Caylee is alive or passed. GA has pretty much told LE he think s Caylee is gone, but in the Public states differently which in turn makes ever one loose that sympathy and compassion in MHO!

Clock's Tickin, I was very troubled also by those vigilantes outside the A's home. This is still the U.S.A. and innocent until proven guilty. They had no right to do what they did to the A's. I would have been petrified if that was me inside that house.....and I wouldn't have felt protected by the LEs either.

A few did go too far, but as you say, this is the USA, people have the right to PEACEFUL protest.

I say a prayer for them every night while Im praying for Caylee. Ofcourse I dont agree with thier actions and behaviors but I know its not up to me to judge them. Im appalled at the hate flung at them 24/7, I understand anger or frustration but the hate and cruelty is just unbelievable, they are human beings for Gods sake.

I'm so happy to see this thread. I don't think any of us can really say what we would do. Support a lying, stealing, murdering daughter? Probably not, in my case. But believe, no matter what even though the facts state otherwise, that my granddaughter is still alive? I think I might. Love and grief do strange things to peoples minds. It's very hard to have sympathy for them at times, but I think it's important to remember that they are grieving. Not just for Caylee but for KC, because there's a good chance that she will pay with her life. I pray for Caylee to come home to them, alive or not. And I pray for them to find a way to have some peace. moo

No, I have to disagree, that really was not in any way a peaceful protest. A peaceful protest would have been standing across the street holding signs and keeping their mouths shut. Shouting and screaming is disturbing the peace (and not just the A's peace, but the peace of their neighbors) and throwing rocks and coins at a person's house is vandalism, harrassment and acting in a threatening manner, all of which are criminal actions.

I have yet to understand why LE allowed it to happen and continue unabated, and why two actions on the part of the A's to limit the protesting was denied. That many of the mob had small children witnessing and/or taking part in a situation that was so volatile just left me horrified and disgusted.

Totally O/T, I love your nickname! Boston is my hometown.

I have always had the deepest sympathy for CA and GA, and that continues to this day. I can understand the frustration that people feel, I have felt the same myself, but I don't understand why so many have taken that frustration on a personal level and channeled it into such rage and hatred. Not a word can be said by the A's, not an action can be made, that isn't regarded with suspicion and contempt, and held up to public ridicule. Every aspect of their lives, past or present, has been scrutinized and judged, and far more often than not the judgements are made without any evidence or personal knowledge.

We have all grown to love and adore precious little Caylee, but no one, not any of us, love her more than her grandparents do. That they must bear the unbearable, and then be forced to bear even more with the unfeeling speculations, the unfounded suspicions, and the disdain of an unsympathetic public says something very sad about the society we live in.

My greatest hope is for them to find some peace at the end of this madness. I can't even begin to imagine how it must be to wake up every morning to the pain they feel, the what if's, the guilt for not having an impossible-to-have hindsight which would have prevented the tragedy that has taken Caylee from them, and which many mistakenly feel they should have had. I would hope that for the rest of us we can try hard to keep an open mind and an open heart for everyone who is suffering as a direct result of KC's actions; for Caylee above all, and also for the family that Caylee loved so very much.

I would like to say to George and Cindy that I am so sorry that they have been brought to this sorrowful and dark place. I feel so much compassion for them for the simple fact that their little granddaughter, whom they loved more than life its self probably, is gone and they are left with only an empty and hollow place where SHE used to reside. I am so sympathetic that they have not only lost Caylee, but that in the process, they have also lost Casey. This is an overwhelming and unbearable loss for them and I have said many prayers for their peace and for their comfort. I cannot begin to say that I understand anything about HOW they have handled all of this, but I do have the upmost empathy for them and wish that this event had never come their way and that Caylee was sleeping in her bed right this very moment. I wish them the peace of God, and the comfort from His Spirit. I hope that one day Caylee will be found and laid to rest properly and that they can begin to heal. I also hope that there are close family members and friends who can be there for them over the next couple of years as they face the mountains that are theirs to climb. And I hope that they can get some help from some organization that is TRUE and cares for them and their well being, and not just someone trying to profit from their grief. I hope for them that they can one day smile again, and that the smile will reach the icy chambers inside of their hearts and begin the thaw....

What a lovely post Magic-Cat..

The capacity to look beyond the muddied surfaces into the heart of hearts heavy with pain is truly a special gift. It is one that you most certainly are blessed with indeed. *hugs*

 

[butwhatif?]

Everytime I see George or Cindy on TV now, I just want to reach out and hug them. Even through the anger, I see their pain, like its almost tangible..
I see that they are doing what they need to do to just survive this nightmare.
I keep thinking of George singing 'Lean on me' at the vigil....thinking that they only have each other right now. that they have had to build a mighty strong wall around themselves for self protection.
Its hard enough for anyone dealing with loss to cope without having to defend every single action and have it played out in the media endlessly.

There will come a point when they dont have the strength to hold the other up, and i would want them to know that its ok to just let go, and freefall...there are people who care enough to want to be their safety net, and their soft place to fall.
(((((((hugs))))))) for George and Cindy...i think you have both shown enormous strength and shown what unconditional love is.:blowkiss:

Posted about this exact same thing in another thread a few days ago. My heart has gone out to them with anything from pity to sympathy. How awful it must be for what they are going through. And how awful it must be to hear constantly that their Granddaughter is dead, but yet believe so bad or want to believe so bad that she is alive and well and will be found that way.

Tonight I watched NG and they played that clip of Baby Caylee singing "You Are My Sunshine", then quickly asking her Great GrandPa, "You tired Papa?!". I cried as I hadn't heard the sound to the clip before. Anyway, after it was over, NG made a comment. "Do you blame the A's for believing? For wanting belief that she's alive?" Maybe some should kinda repeat that and go by it?

Bless CA and GA.

Actually, I kind of know where the Anthony's are coming from. My son was missing for 10 years and I never gave up on him, however, I knew he was alive because I tracked him with our stolen credit cards. However, the Mexican Embassy called me one day at work and told me his body washed up on a beach and we flew down to identify and it wasn't him Thank God. To this day it haunts me. This body had been in the water for 3 weeks and I'm telling you...you dont get over that. (Mexico didn't have cold storage) I pray for them because I know how hard it is not knowing.

I have sympathy that they have lost their daughter to prison and a dear little grad daughter, but there is no excuse for their actions and words in the last months.

I think your first sentence IS their excuse for their actions over the last few months. They are lashing out at anyone who says Caylee is dead, I don't know if I woudn't do that myself. They are criticizing LE, while I don't agree with them, it goes along with the fact that they don't believe Caylee is dead AND they believe whatever story Casey has told them. Have you ever tried to change someone's mind about something they believe with all their heart and mind? Some people won't believe it no matter how much proof you have - they just can't wrap their minds around a reality that does not match theirs.

Many posters have talked about the fact that CA, in particular will never believe Caylee is gone and will spend the rest of her life looking for her. 10 years from now she will be staring at every 13 year old brown haired, hazel eyed girl she sees and wonder, are you my granddaughter? How can you not feel sorry for someone who will go through that.

Their pain must be unrelenting and overwhelming, and they have my utmost sypmpathy - 'there but for fortune....go you and I' - quote from an old Joan Baez song.

Macushla,

Excellent post!

I do think of this and wonder how this woman or her H will ever find any peace or sanity in their lives with that being said! It is so utterly tragic and still in a way uncomprehensible to me at the same time. These folks are desperately in need of some help from someone other than KFN!
