By now everyone has heard the disturbing verdict of Casey Anthony being found not guilty in Florida. Everyone has been lighting candles, leaving porch lights on etc in honoring Caylee. While that’s fine…excuse me while I do not. It’s not that I don’t care..I do..I mean seriously..my thought is how 12 jurors could find her not guilty on child endangerment for not knowing where her child was for over a month is beyond me..never mind that the prosecution dropped the ball on physical evidence on autopsy as well as connecting Casey to the murdered child. Anyway..I dont plan on ranting on FB(other than this blog), or reposting ad nauseum tributes to the sweet baby who never got the chance to experience life. The reason? Simple really…This case was so blown out of proportion. Casey was given celebrity status much like OJ(who also got off if you remember), and I was a little confused by that. It’s because things like this happen every day to our children, all across the world. Children are kidnapped, murdered and violated by strangers, family members and parents. It happens far too often unfortunately. So why all the big to-do over this case? I didnt get it.She was a person of unreknown, someone who should have never had a child(imho), because she wasnt ready for it…so why? People all over are reacting..even Kim Kardashian, who’s own father was on the famed defense team of OJ that got him off on a double murder…I’ve seen pages on FB offering free gift cards in her honor(facecrooks asks you report that page..its morbid and a scam), people reposting “letter from heaven..Caylee to her mom”…Sorry..but those really disturb me. First of all..Casey is a sociopath, incapable of feeling sorry for anything or anyone but herself. The letter would not move her. Secondly, to insinuate this child would send such a letter is defaming the dead. I have pretty specific ideas as to how they are to be treated, and this is not it. One really wants to honor this child? Give to your local children’s charity in her name, volunteer to read to kids at the local library, do “something” that benefits the children in YOUR area in her honor. That makes more sense to me than what I have been seeing. Oh..and btw..if you are fortunate to have children in your life, hug them and tell them everyday that you love them. they need to know that their world is secure and is filled with people who love them unconditionally.
Peace Out.
