Me too. So what can we citizens do? A few things, to start.
1) Sign this petition for Caylee's Law. The site notes: "Caylee's Law, contact your Senator and Representative: there should be a new federal law created called Caylee's Law that will make it a federal offense for a parent or guardian to not notify law enforcement of a child going missing in a timely manner.
Let's keep another case like Caylee Anthony out of the courts."
2) Contact Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch who is trying to get feedback about a lawsuit against Casey Anthony demanding financial compensation for his search efforts back in '08 for the hours wasted on searching for a child she admitted she knew was dead. That time could have been spent searching for real lost kids. Visit the FB petition here.
3) I am declaring that it should be a felony for anyone to make an "accident" appear like a homicide.
4) And this is the most important--it is imperative that we do not contribute to Casey Anthony becoming rich off the death of her daughter. She may very well become so, but it won't be because of me. While I am tired of talentless celebs receiving book deals, to give one to someone many (including me) believe killed her child, is appalling. I don't care that the jury acquitted her. I don't believe she is innocent. Do NOT purchase any book she writes/publishes, and in addition, do NOT buy any books by that publisher OR that LITERARY AGENCY that chooses to profit off her. Dan and I have been rejected 1000s of times by agents, despite our excellent quality and popular website (235 million visitors and counting), but alas, we are not media whores. Any agency/publisher that represents Casey Anthony's book(s) is a disgrace.
And by the way--I may well write a more detailed response to this whole thing, but for the record, I don't pretend to know this family or know this child--it is more of a philosophical despondency I have. I realize that many kids are murdered and none get talked about like this one. I realize that. I expected justice to be served and it was not. I refuse to participate in the profiting off the death of this child and I encourage everyone to do the same.
UPDATE: A new petition here. The description states: "It is morally incorrect that Casey Anthony should profit from the murder of her daughter in any way, shape or form. Therefore, no movies or book deals shall be offered to Casey Anthony that would be of financial profit or gain to her."
