There is no proof whatsoever Casey is mentally ill. Just because someone acts outside the norm in not proof of mental illness. There is also no proof whatsoever Casey even behaved outside the norm before the age of 18.
Yes, I do wish Cindy, George, and Lee would wake up and face reality. However, since I am not in the position, THANK GOD, where my grandchild is missing and the evidence is pointing that my daughter killed her, I can't say for sure I would act any differently. Period.
Maybe, just maybe, they realize Caylee is gone, and Casey is responsible for it. Maybe, they feel Casey spending the rest of her life in prison, or getting the death penalty is not going to bring this precious baby back, and they can't face, after losing a grandchild they clearly loved, they just can't face losing their daughter, as well. Yes, their behavior has made me roll my eyes, shake my head, and even angered me from time to time, but since I am not in their shoes, THANK GOD, I have no idea what is motivating them to act this way. I don't believe for one minute, however, that they are not suffering dearly for what they have lost, and they will for some time to come.
I have not seen one shred of evidence whatsoever to show they could have had any clue Casey would have done this. It is a long way from ripping off the parents credit cards to murdering a child. I also haven't seen one shred of evidence to support them helping to dispose of the body. What I have seen evidence of is LE picking up on Casey's lies right away, and acting accordingly by arresting her. I have seen evidence of the GP's throwing out some pretty lame statements, and even some outright lies, but I also believe LE is just as aware of all this as I am, and I don't see anything they have done, other than washing the pants, and there is no evidence this was done deliberately to destroy evidence, that has really impeded this investigation at all.
What do you people suggest to be done about all this? You know, frontal lobotomies and electric shock treatment was all the rage not so long ago. Turns out that wasn't such a good idea. Do you really want some govermnent official coming into your homes whenever they feel like it and dictating to you how to raise your children? What if they want you to give them medication you don't feel is safe? That is already going on with Ritulin, and there is still a lot of debate over whether this stuff is even effective. ADHD isn't necessarily a mental defect, it is just a different way of being, but since it doesn't fit into our cookie cutter society at this time, everyone wants to 'treat' it. The brain and how it works is such a massive, complicated process that isn't even close to being understood yet. One size does not fit all.
I'm done.
