A moment of Silence for Caylee~

The verdict is in: "NOT GUILTY" for Casey Anthony! When I heard the news I felt completely shocked! I felt angry, disappointed, frustrated and a deep sense of sadness for little Caylee. How can anyone, let alone a mother, destroy the life of a child? I can't even begin to comprehend it!! Of all the people in the world that a child should be able to trust, to feel safe with and to feel loved by...it should be their mother. So many thoughts have been going through my head since the verdict was read. The simple fact that Casey didn't report her 2 year old daughter missing for and entire month is just beyond belief! FOR ME that was the breaking point...GUILTY was written all over her face. Accident or NO accident...at this point it doesn't matter...Casey should take responsibility for her actions. A little girl lost her life at the hand of her mother and her mother should have to pay for it!!! WHY is it that a person can unintentionally hit someone with a car, kill them and have to spend the remainder of their life behind bars...but Casey Anthony can walk free after "intentionally OR unintentionally killing her own flesh and blood? There is something wrong with this picture!!!


AND THEN to add insult to injury, I was mortified when Casey accused her father of molesting her...and thats WHY she covered up the "accident"? Its a terrible thing when someone is molested. Its wrong, its sick and it should be punishable by death (in my book!)....BUT personally I don't believe Casey was molested. I don't believe that her father ever hurt her. I believe that Casey is looking for someone to lay the blame on for her actions. Growing up, my parents taught me that "one" should take responsibility for "ones" actions" regardless of what "one" has done, and that's how I feel. If you do something, you fess up to it (as hard as that my be sometimes) and you pay the consequences...you "pay the piper", so to speak. A person's past may be full of pain, hate, abuse, trial or torment BUT that should never be an excuse for a person's bad behavior....otherwise it would cause a vicious cycle which would never end. We can all find something in our past that we could use as a crutch in our lives...but we DON'T. We stop the cycle...we rise above it and we move forward, as hard as that might be. It appalls me that anyone...ANYONE at all, would give Casey Anthony a second thought, as to her innocence in killing her daughter and then covering it up because she may or may not have been abused. WHY does that matter, as far as HER actions go? It shouldn't, it doesn't...but for some reason in our society, and in some cases, it does!!! When do we say, "TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS"? When do we make people accountable for their own choices? Another's actions shouldn't determine ours!!!

I am outraged by the outcome of this trial, outraged that society excused her behavior with a slap on the hand for lying...yet let her walk away from the more grotesque part of her crime. I am saddened for the life lost of a sweet little two year old girl who never had a chance to live her beautiful life. A little girl that won't get to play hopscotch on the neighborhood sidewalk, who won't get to sell lemonade from her own lemonade stand, who won't get to eat ice cream as she dances in the rain, a little girl who won't grow up to go to her Jr. Prom or experience the joys that come from having her own little family here on this earth. I am saddened by her death and how it came to an end so quickly, but I'm thankful that I know there is a Father in Heaven who loves little Caylee and will hug her and hold her and let her know that she is special. What a blessing it is to know that their is a life after this...that life goes on and that eventually justice will be served and Casey Anthony will get what she deserves. It may not be in this life...but the time will come when she will meet her maker and she will pay for what she's done.

BUT for now...I'm going to take a moment of silence for Caylee.
I didn't know her, but I fell in love with her adorable chubby cheeks,
her dark brown hair and her radiant smile. What a beautiful little girl!
The world will never forget her!

I was also shocked and horrified by the verdict and can't stop thinking about it, especially since Olivia is the same age Caylee was when she died. I can't fathom her mother's ridiculous excuse and her actions don't add up. Sad sad verdict. :(
