According to the financial reports that have been posted here previously, with people accusing the A's of keeping 80% of the donations for themselves.
Bless his heart. He was beaming with pride that the boat was named after Caylee. And he was really hopeful that it would help others.
From reading several comments, one might think they bought a bass boat to fish in and just said it was for search and rescue.
They didn't buy the boat. They don't own the boat. It's a bass boat, but it's modified for search and resuce.
The Anthony's did nothing wrong regarding this boat.
Nice to see.
Yes they did by consorting with felons and shady organizations. That boat did nothing to help anyone. It was publicity for the Anthonys and Kidfinders.
Were they aware of the "shady" dealings of those involved with KFN?
Or, were they duped?
3,000 dollars? According to Who? The Anthonys? LOL
Based on the fact that there is a link for the Kindfinders website on their own foundation website I would have to say that they have no problem with the shady dealings of the Milsteads. Now if that link had been removed I would have to say that maybe they were "duped". The Milsteads are not the only shady people that the Anthony's have dealt with and I am not counting their own daughter.
MOO
Were they aware of the "shady" dealings of those involved with KFN?

It was their responsibility to know who they were associating with. Given their seething hatred for Tim Miller, I can only guess that they wanted a group who would toe the Anthony line. Tim Miller had the audacity to search extensively for Caylee, but NOT take orders from the Anthonys. KidFinders did nothing but pad the Anthonys' egos..
BBM. Why would CA purposely lie about the computer searches on the stand if the trial had snapped her out of her denial/anger? And IIRC, Mark Lippman made his "usual" appearance later that evening on many of the HLN shows to state that CA still "insists" that she made those searchs for chloroform.
Or are you speaking of since the trial has ended?
I think the Anthonys know what the public's perception is of their family is, including <mod snip>, and they have a "foundation" and possibly a book deal coming down the pike to "sell". MONEY is their greatest motivator now. Prior to that it was covering <mod snip> murdering behind.
They are pariahs, they know we know it and that is what they are trying to "rectify", so that we, the general public that have great disdain for them, will BUY it.
I wish that they would just go away...give us a chance to forget them and their despicable daughter and how much DISHONOR they have allowed regarding precious Caylee with their actions over the past 3 years. Stop having their attorney show his face everytime that they fart or fly off on a private jet. It just reinforces and reopens old wounds to those of us that find them to be despicable. (And that is the least offensive word that I can use without being put on time out here).
I do respect your personal opinion...you've definitely given the Anthony's the benefit of the doubt. Me....not so much.:snooty:
But wasn't it mentioned on this thread a few posts ago that the Caylee foundation's website has not been updated since 2009?
I don't understand. They are being blamed for having a link to an organization that helped them in 2008/2009 on a website that has not been updated since 2009?
Cindy knows full well that the Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation website is still up for anyone and everyone to see as Cindy is the one that posted the paragraphs on the website. A quick click of the website would show her that the Kidfinders link is still on there and would be easy to remove. I doubt very seriously that Cindy has forgotten all about the Foundation website that she worked on so I do not give her a pass on the website not being updated since 2009. I know that if I did not have previous knowledge of a shady character in my life that I had a link for to promote that person's shady foundation and then I found out about the shady dealings that link would be gone in an instant even if it was a website that I had not updated for a year or more. But that's just me.
MOO
Let's see. If we have a non-profit organization that collects donations for a specific purpose (let's say helping find missing kids) that has not used one cent for that specific purpose (again, helping find missing kids) but has helped the "founders" of that organization to not have to work a regular job in over 2 years would that not be considered a scam?
Kidfinders has not updated their website in quite a while. Are they still operating as they were? If someone clicked on their Donate Now button would they still accept the money from some unsuspecting soul? What exactly have they done to help find missing children? What has the boat been used for? Is the boat really even capable of doing what it is billed to do? I did notice that there are only 4 people listed as having positions on their board. The other positions are waiting to be filled. The Milsteads are of course proudly listed as President and Vice President. Link to the website for those wanting to take a look. http://kidfindersnetwork.org/
Now let's look at the Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation. Again the website has not been updated in a while however if some poor unsuspecting soul clicked on the Donate Now button would they be able to send their money to this foundation? What have they done with the donation money? I know, thanks to the website, that they have given Caylee Bears to a hospital in Ohio. I also know, again thanks to the website, that they have given Caylee Bears to the Trumball County Sheriff's Dept in Ohio. But other than that what have they done? There is no mailing address or email address listed on the website. There is also no listing of the board members on the website. According to the website this foundation was established in October of 2008. Link to the website for those that want to look for themselves. http://www.cayleemarieanthonyfoundation.net/index.html
"We have faced many who want nothing more than to tear our family apart; ..." Uh, yeah ... their own daughter, Casey Anthony, Jose Baez, Cheney Mason and the rest of the defense team!
Donate buttons on both sites work just fine (just tried them both)! The actual foundations, not so much. imo :crazy:
