Caylee Anthony: Why she won’t be forgotten
posted by halboedeker on August, 9 2012 9:37 AM

Today would have been Caylee Anthony’s 7th birthday.

People often talk about what her story represents, because in death, she became a symbol.

She was just 2 years old, a child who wasn’t reported missing for 31 days and whose body wasn’t found for six months.

Her mother’s attorney later said Caylee was a drowning victim. But no drowning victim should be discarded.

I hear from many readers who want justice for Caylee. As long as she’s not forgotten, that will be a form of justice.

The adults around the child repeatedly failed her, but they later collected large sums of money off her memory. Her mother got $200,000 from ABC News. Her grandparents received $600,000 from the “Dr. Phil” show.

As long as people are outraged about those facts, Caylee won’t be forgotten.

I doubt that we’ll ever know for sure what really happened to Caylee. The story kept changing from those closest to her.

Oh, well, what happened to her should never happen to another child. For that reason, she won’t be forgotten.

A comment follwing Hal's piece:

In her brief lifetime, this angel became the symbol for all unwanted and abused children, who suffer a tragic end at the hands of their mothers. It happens everyday in the world, but because of the access to facts, evidence, and depositions, the access to the trial, to be able to hear with your own ears, and see with your own eyes, how the defense team was allowed to lie, slander and manipulate, all in the name of giving a “fair” trial to a festering psychopath, the public became outraged. Seeing the grandparents, who claimed to have loved this child so much, that the grandfather, suppossedly wanted to kill himself to be with her, cover up for the dirtbag who killed her, simply because “no one beats the Anthonys”. Oh and in the midst of all this, discovered that by continuing the lies, they could generate money for themselves and never have to get “off their lazy asses” and work again. The family are the ONLY people who never searched for Caylee. The family are the only people who lied repeatedly to law enforcement, the family are the only people who bragged about giving the wrong hairbrush to LE, the family are the only ones who thought it would have been funny to give the FBI the dogs toothbrush. The family are the only people who find the humour in any of this. Rest in peace Caylee, you really ARE in a better place. than you were.
