The Innocent Child
“Caylee Double-bagged, heart shaped sticker over mouth” read the "Nancy Grace" headline January 21, 2009’s late night showing.
Caylee Anthony, a three-year old, innocent child from Orlando, Florida was murdered in the summer of 2008. Her mother, Casey Anthony, is charged with first-degree murder. As evidence is being brought to the media’s attention, Casey Anthony is being drilled with questions constantly, which is then broadcasted throughout the country on many major news channels. As I watch the replays of the tap, I continually wonder what type of person would do this to their daughter? If you stopped loving your child or wanted more freedom as an adult, would someone have to go to this extreme? Murdering your child is certainly not a way to gain freedom in your life, especially if you’re Casey Anthony.
The video tapes that are shown when her parents come to visit her in prison upset many viewers as Casey Anthony tells her parents how “unhappy” she is in prison and how this whole situation “affects her” deeply.
Casey Anthony has been calm during the past few visits with her parents, which were aired on "CNN". As her mother sits across a glass window, holding the black phone tightly to her ear, and crying, Casey Anthony does not seem phased. Casey looks at her parents with a smirk that covers her face. Her eyes are dry as a bone and Casey Anthony looks annoyed that her mother would even be emotionally upset with the situation. What is wrong with this woman people ask? Her daughter’s body was found in a trash bag with Last week when Nancy Grace showed a clip of Anthony’s parents visiting her, Anthony started off the conversation with the absurd question to her father, “why is she crying already?”
Evidence that has been linked to Casey’s arrest for the murder of Caylee include traces of “chloroform in the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car, where they also say they detected odors from a decaying body.” Caylee, the innocent child suffered a brutal death. The most recent information about the duck-tapped sticker that was taped to Caylee’s mouth has been exposed to the media. And to further the pieces of evidence in this case, Nancy Grace reports that the bag that was used to hide Caylee’s body is identical to the bags found in the home of Casey Anthony.
The psychological issue Casey Anthony must contribute to her lack of regret, remorse or sorrow for the murder of her daughter. The lack of emotion Casey exudes when speaking to investigators or her parents make it quite suspicious as more and more evidence is leaked from investigators. The brutality of the murder creates much hatred and disgust from viewers who learn new pieces of evidence every day as the story unfolds.
As more pieces develop in this investigation, I find myself more emotionally involved in this murder. I hope to one day become a second grade teacher because of my love and passion to teach and mold young minds. The joy and gifts children give are endless; thus, I find it so difficult to look at a picture of Caylee Anthony and not hold back tears. And then, to look at clips of Casey Anthony saying she’s “lonely” and it is “hard” to be in prison disgust me. The idea of taking an innocent person’s life makes me question why anyone in society would think this is acceptable. I pray for the family and for Caylee, a child who had her life taken away from her at such a young age.

Well-written post, Editorial Committee.
It is clear that Casey is a monster. I don't think her mother is much more human than she is, however. The monster didn't germinate in a vacuum. My heart goes out to George Anthony. He is not a bad man, just a terribly weak one.
