Dose of Reality Time for Casey Anthony’s Mother
Dear Casey Anthony‘s mother:
All signs point to your daughter, Casey, as the likely murderer of your grandchild, Caylee. If you think the police aren’t looking for Caylee, it’s because they’re pretty sure it wasn’t a rotting pizza in the trunk of that car. Or a dead squirrel. Your daughter took a month to report that her child was missing. And the text messages she sent? Yeah, not so good. She will probably be in jail for life. Please to be dealing appropriately.
Sincerely,
Reality.

Unless you are “goating” someone to get them to tell you something. This is the coldest thing I have ever heard anyone say! and Catagory: Humor? A little girl is probably dead! Wake up! Before you lose your soul, devil! And yes , maybe, little Caley’s Grandmother could have done something, but hindsight’s 20/20, imagine how that woman must feel. Oh, sorry, I forgot, you don’t give a crap.

Dear Laura of Virginia,
Well, first of all…humor is the default category tag for my entries. I didn’t deliberately choose it. I simply forgot to uncheck it. I will change that.
Second, I didn’t say Calee’s Grandmother should have done something. I don’t know what she could have done, frankly.
Third, the word is ‘goading’.
Fourth, for someone who chooses http://www.jesusisourjudge! as a website, your terribly non-Christian response is ironic, at best. Could you not have given me the benefit of the doubt the responded with someone that attempted to guide me toward more sympathy or charity? You call me a devil? Perhaps you cast the first stone unwisely.
Finally, I think that woman must be in complete turmoil – and in complete denial. I wouldn’t flatter yourself to think you have the first clue what I give a crap about so don’t speak for me.

I have a daughter about the same age as sweet Caylee. If my mother ever suspected that I harmed a hair on my daughter’s head, she would have assisted the police at every turn.
I try not to follow the story too closely, because it’s too upsetting to think about it being my own daughter. What bits and pieces I have seen and heard about the story lead me to believe that Mom and Grandma are both deeply troubled.
As sensitive as I am to this topic, I found NOTHING offensive about your post.

Thank you, Krystie Lee – I would genuinely feel badly if I had offended someone and they said so to me in a polite way. I appreciate the support.
And yeah, the whole thing is just heartbreaking.

I lol’d @ Laura’s response.
October 15th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
The whole thing makes me ill, I dont understand how someone could harm their own child. I feel bad if I yell too meanly.
Your post was not offensive. It was honest and to the point.

I have re-read the post several times, and I fail to be offended.
I also have not followed the story closely, but it seems to me that, as Krystie Lee has mentioned, both of these women are quite troubled.
One has to wonder what it will take for the grandmother to face and accept reality. Denial can be easier, but you can only ride that train so far.

RE, I absolutely love, love, love your response to Laura…..you, sir, are one class act….’nuff said!

Chivahn – I have a variety of responses but would have enjoyed seeing yours.
Pinkgerbil – I’m glad you did not find it offensive. And I can not imagine the capability of hurting a child. It’s too much to imagine.
KT – I’m glad you were not offended, either. Yes, it seems like both women may, indeed, be troubled. Instigator told me today that the woman and her daughter lived with the grandmother. I didn’t know that. How did the grandmother not know something was up?
SleeplessInSimi – You’re very kind. Thank you.

Well… there are a lot of nutcases on the Internets you know
At least one of them is going to find your blog and comment.

I haven’t been following the story at all…it hasn’t been in any of the tabloids that we get at work (ah, salon life.) but I’m fairly curmudgeonly and find endless amusement in the stupidity of others XD
October 16th, 2008 at 8:35 am
I know! This is SO disturbing. So very disturbing. Haven’t been following it either but I think it’s pretty obvious just from the few shots I’ve seen of the mother.
If something happened to Benjamin I’d be a manic mess – 100% of the time – morning, noon and night until I found him. Ugh. Sick to my stomach now.

Such a hard situation. As a mother, I can’t believe that anyone could harm their own child. Just unthinkable to me even though I know it happens. I did a bit of interning in the Special Assault unit for the King County Prosecutor’s Office and I saw first hand how cruel people can be.
On the other hand, I have to know that my mom would probably be like Casey Anthony’s mom and proclaim my innocence because she’s my mom – especially to the press – family solidarity and all that.
So incredibly tough with no easy answers.

Sorry… no way. If I did not report my child missing for a month, stole my mother’s car, sent those text messages, went out whoring my way through every bar in the state while my child is supposedly “missing” and then hindered the search every step of the way my mother would take me out behind the barn and kick my ass every which way until I told the truth.
You can love your kids and still know that they’ve done wrong and as their parent you can only help them be honest about it. What was her response? In an interview she started making excuses about how Casey is just enjoying her life, and that she had to give up so much to be a mother we should all be understanding. Understanding about what? She didn’t HAVE to be a mother…she chose to. Then she chose to do a bad job.
The whole thing makes me sick and as a mother of four I have no sorrow for that crazy woman. She has to KNOW in her heart that her daughter killed or as least contributed to the death of her Grandchild and she’s done nothing to help.
okay… I’m done… I need to let it go. I get way to emotional about this one…

Lynchseattle – sometimes the nutcases stick around and teach me how to use a camera.
Chivahn – You must be constantly amused because, man, there’s just no end to the stupidity.
MsSingleMama – Yeah, it’s just so weird that the mom wasn’t losing her damn mind.
Bev – You know what? This is what I love about you. You were able to say what Laura from Virginia wasn’t able to say. You made me see the other side of this simply by telling me how difficult this situation would be for a mom. You rock.
Tiffany – It’s pretty insane, isn’t it? Not reporting it immediately is just such a red flag.
