I agree that a memorial at this site is a terrible idea. There are many suggestions upstream that would better honor Caylee.
Caylee was murdered and thrown away in that spot. Why would anyone want to go and take a walk on a brick walkway to where Caylee's mom threw her away like garbage and eventually her bones were discovered?
Right now, everyone's emotions are still on a roller coaster because no guilty verdict was rendered to give justice for Caylee in this case. People are not there to view and remember her death bed. They are gathering there to remember Caylee and to find a logical conclusion where there is none. Healing for all will take time.
This Bring Kids Home organization is preying on the emotions of caring individuals still reeling from the death and injustice of Caylee. It is just a money hungry group trying to grab a buck while they can. Instead, they would be better served by helping to find kids who are truly missing and could still be brought home - as their name implies.
I heard GA say on HLN that it was hard for them to visit the site, but alluded to being there before. I don't recall them being there before to visit and pray over the site unless it was when they were caught tearing down the cross and other items.
I wonder if anyone asked the A's today if they had taken their pool down yet?

A Writing From His Personal Notebook
A teacher was walking around the class to see what the children were drawing.
She stopped where a little girl was drawing, and said "What are you drawing?"
The little girl said "I am drawing a picture of God."
The teacher said, "Nobody knows what God looks like."
The little girl said, "They will in a minute!"
But look what I found in about 60 seconds....

What is the picture you have in your head of God? I am reminded of the story of the little girl in Sunday school who was drawing a picture during craft time. The Sunday School teacher asked the little girl what she was drawing. The little girl replied “I am drawing a picture of God”. The Sunday school teacher said, “but no one knows what God looks like”, to which the little girl replied, “well, they will after they see my picture”.
And of course, this one....
http://www.philadelphiachurch.org/se...202%201-21.pdf
In one if his sermons, Peter Gomes tells the story of a little girl in Sunday School. “She was busily drawing with all her crayons and all her might, when the teacher asked her what she was drawing. ‘I am drawing a picture of God,’ she said. Her teacher replied, ‘But, my dear, nobody knows what God looks like,’ to which the little girl replied, without stopping, ‘They will when I am finished.’”
I'm thinkin' that wasn't a "writing from his personal notebook"..... |
Oh, I am having flashbacks about a group calling themselves The Beacon Project. They were ultimately linked to candy jars with a flyer of Trenton Duckett. When we finally found their website and tracked down the people involved, we found links to some of the usual suspects. That website which collected $$ "for missing children" had only one missing poster for months on end. IIRC, it was later connected to another link selling plastic jars, at bulk rates, to put the "missing' fliers on. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always thought that "The Champ" was Cassius Clay/Mohammed Ali anyway.
That web site is so phony.

Well, according to their webpage-3 contributors have donated a total of $135.00 towards their $25,000.00 goal for the Caylee Marie Memorial. I wonder if they asked for donations today? 
http://bringkidshome.org/index.htm
Interesting video they have on youtube! Isn't Justice for Caylee what Cindy wanted to trademark?

This whole topic sickens me because after years of researching on many cases of missing children I don't know which non-profits can be trusted, anymore. I'll stick with the NCMEC...b/c they seem to really be doing something to find and return the live children and recover the lost little ones.

You would think that an organization that is so closely tied to religious believes would have taken a clue from lightning striking the tallest tree at the remains site the day KC was sentenced as a sign that maybe this is not such a good idea. jmo

Personally, I think it's an overall BAD idea to have a memorial at the site where Caylee Marie was dumped. Anywhere else, and I would almost be in favour -- a park, or a peaceful spot. When I think of the dumpsite, all I can muster up is violence and utter sadness. A garden perhaps in a Children's hospital.
And after seeing G&C there today, the site is really contaminated (IMHO). Didn't Cindy used to drive by and take all the teddies and flowers? Now she's releasing balloons at the site with George? I'm utterly confused.
No -- this is not the spot for a memorial for Caylee Marie Anthony. IMHO it's like putting a memorial path and walkway where Jessica Lunsford was buried alive (Please Lord, I hope someone didn't do that).

Seriously though, I wish somebody would stick the FBI on that Champ Legacy , since they apparently also operate across state boarders.
It must be a fraud. Why lie about your founder?
It would be funny though if they bamboozled the Anthonys out of dough, especially gullible George. 
They also sell 100 bucks T shirts on that site. Like donate 100 bucks and get a complimentary T shirt.

Actually, Lambchop-It looks like the lightening strike is exactly what inspired Eddie Delvalle to make that swamp a memorial!
snip-
Another pastor, Eddie DelValle, told a crowd of about 150 people that he had been moved to do something to honor Caylee Marie after he visited the woods where her body was found and saw that a tree there was struck by lightning the day after Casey Anthony was acquitted of the charge of killing Caylee.
"That was divine intervention, and it inspired me to do something for the little girl. We're not even going to mention C-A-S-E-Y," said DelValle, reflecting a recently sprouted movement to boycott any movies, books or other enterprises that would allow Casey Anthony to profit from her worldwide notoriety.
With an escort of Orange County sheriff's deputies, DelValle's group quietly walked about one-quarter mile from the woods to the home of Cindy and George Anthony, Caylee's grandparents. For a short time they stood in front of the house, which showed no sign of activity inside, just a faded pink flag with the word "Peace" barely visible on it.
"People seem to want some kind of closure," said Yolanda DelValle, as her husband urged people not to think of revenge for Caylee's death.

This family has no love for anyone. I recall all the stuffed animals that were placed on their lawn were put in trash bags almost as soon as they were placed. They opened the envelopes and checked for money. When asked why she threw all the toys in the trash, cindy responded, "They smelled of cigarette smoke".
.....Yeah, that little remark leaves a soft spot in the deepest of cynics, doesn't it?

I would NEVER EVER donate one penny to a project that honors George and Cindy after their support of the felon and lying in court.
For the project organizer to embrace the Anthonys in such a public way, would mean that anyone donating money to his group, would also be embracing the Anthonys and be in support of what the Anthonys are doing.
It literally made me sick to see the photos of Cindy and George turning the memorial today for CAYLEE into an event for Cindy and George to be front and center and to be the focus of today's event. They did NOT support Caylee during the murder trial, when they lied, under oath, to help their felon daughter. Nothing they are doing now is for Caylee.

It doesnt make sense not to buy the land first , get it approved by zoning and neighbours, etc. No, I would not give any money.
And youre right about the A's. They supported that daughter too much. Why GA has not come out and publicly denounced what she accused him of is beyond me. And that big smile on CA's face when prosecution was found wrong/overruled about something did it for me as far as her wanting JUSTICE for Caylee.
Does anyone else remember that smile? And oh not to mention lying about the chloroform search. How you confuse chlorophyll and that is beyond me.

Tying an org. to religious beliefs just reels in more gullible folks with a false sense of security. Jim Bakker and other folks come to mind.

WHERE WAS THE FEBREEZ?? Sorry I couldn't resist.
I think it was a lovely gesture for those people to leave stuffed animals, cards, etc for Caylee. It wouldve made me feel supported but guess they saw it differently

Segura acknowledged that his group has not done much fundraising prior to seeking $200,000 to build the Suburban Drive memorial. He insists the project is legitimate and will get built, as long as Orange County commissioners rezone the land to allow the memorial. If the project does not proceed, donors who purchase bricks will be refunded a portion of their donation, and other donations may not be returned, according to the group's website.
"It is a new organization. I can't answer if the public can trust it," said Eddie DelValle, an Orlando-based volunteer for Bring Kids Home, who is organizing the memorial project. "I'm putting my faith in it."

NJ officials revoked BringKidsHome corporation status Back on April for not filing annual reports.
Bet that had a lot to do with confusion A's to where the org is located.
Btw, ClickOrlando just reported the story live (probably on video on their website) that the org is located in NJ....and reported that NJ address after their interview with Segura regarding the revocation.....so I assume he told the reporter their location as NJ.....guessing tho.

That would be a living legacy and a befitting memorial to Caylee. All the descriptions of this theme park this organization is planning under the guise of a memorial, has everything except the Ferris wheel and Ticket booth, but those are coming I expect. JMO.

Thought the same thing when I read Click Orlando's article ... WTH ??
They want to collect money for bricks now and if the zoning doesn't go through , then the park doesn't go through and, oh by the way ... only a partial refund ??
Nooo, that's not a scam ! $200,000 park ? Seriously ? How about putting in a park bench in, say, Jay Blanchard Park where Caylee loved to go ? It could even have a plaque on it in memory of Caylee ... or a new play gym ...
Why, oh why do people keep turning everything Caylee into an extravaganza ?? It really ticks me off !!
Oh, and way to start "bringing kids home" ... wonder how much this org actually spends to "bring kids home" ....

The planned memorial, if built, would center on a reflecting pond with a glass ring — intended to provide the effect of a floating halo — hanging above it.
Leading to the pond would be a walkway, walled with cubby holes for visitors to leave stuffed animals, flowers and other mementos. Those would be collected, Jefrë said, and given to children's charities.
The memorial also would be lined with hundreds of glass disks, each containing the name of a missing child and a QR code linking visitors to information about the children.
"These discs are illuminated at night as a symbol for when neighborhood porch lights are left on as a beacon for children to come home," Jefrë said. "When a child returns home, their light will turn off."
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...,2265952.story
We're in a residential neighborhood with children on a street leading to an elementary school!! I wouldn't want my child having to pass that every day on their way to school walking or by bus!! Caylee definetely deserves a memorial-but it doesn't have to be where she decomposed!!
|
My hinky meter has been going crazy since I first read about this planned memorial. It's going into overdrive 100x since reading this. What the heck???!!!

Nooo, that's not a scam ! $200,000 park ? Seriously ? How about putting in a park bench in, say, Jay Blanchard Park where Caylee loved to go ? It could even have a plaque on it in memory of Caylee ... or a new play gym ...
Why, oh why do people keep turning everything Caylee into an extravaganza ?? It really ticks me off !!
Oh, and way to start "bringing kids home" ... wonder how much this org actually spends to "bring kids home" .... |
Would it not be funny if the Anthonys already forked over bucks for some bricks too.

And I am going to gander that there isn't a chance in h377 that rezoning will go through...
Not sure if the process is the same in Orange County, but when I had a new building built for one of my businesses, I had to have the area rezoned....
The process involved me paying an application fee and then I was placed on the agenda for a future Planning and Zoning Board Meeting. My request then had to be published in the local legal notices of newspaper for x issues, and all homeowners residing within a certain radius were contacted by mail and notified that they could attend meeting to refute request in public hearing...
Once I got past the stage where Planning and Zoning approved my request at public meeting, it was then on to the next phase....same process, only this time, in front of City Council during a public meeting.....
I guarantee that IF BringHomeKids attempts to have that lot rezoned in a residential area, the already disgusted homeowners are going to PROTEST LOUD AND CLEAR!!!

That would be a living legacy and a befitting memorial to Caylee. All the descriptions of this theme park this organization is planning under the guise of a memorial, has everything except the Ferris wheel and Ticket booth, but those are coming I expect. JMO.

ITA, how about working towards awareness of family oriented abuse or violence or unwanted children ... or working towards changing laws that are supposed to protect the most vulnerable of the population ? You know working towards any number of issues ... but child abduction ? Then I guess their org shouldn't be called "Bring Kids Home" ... I mean if you're going to prevent the abductions in the first place
This org is bogus and hopefully most people will see right through them ... that fact that the Anthonys have more or less endorsed them should say it all ... JMO

it's the unknown, for the reckless
it's the adventure, for the pessimists
it's the unattainable. For the brave
, it is opportunity.
