My niece, Haley, has stopped by today. I always think about Caylee when I am around my niece. They are only 5 months apart in age. My niece had just turned 3-years-old when Caylee went missing.
When Haley was just a little toddler, her parents had an awful time getting her off her binky. One day they decided that they were just going to throw them all away. Well, they missed one and of course little Haley would find the only one left behind. That day that she found it, she decided to go in her older sisters closet, with the binky in her mouth, and fall asleep. Haley was probably "missing" for less than 3 minutes before her parents started searching all over the house for her. They were on the phone with 911 in less than 5 minutes because they thought she may have gotten outside... some how... some way. My bro-in-law was outside searching, my sister continued to search the house while on the phone with 911.
Needless to say, my sister finally had enough wits about her to go into my older nieces room... a room my little niece loved to go into and be with her older sister and that is when my sister found her sound asleep in the closet, binky in mouth.
For those very few minutes... my sister and brother-in-laws world was turned upside down. How anyone could think that George or even Casey herself would not have called 911 "if" Caylee had drowned... I just cannot comprehend it? You call 911! The only time you don't call 911 is if you, yourself are personally responsible for a crime. Period.
Anyways, my niece will turn 7-years-old this year and I just spend an awesome afternoon doing art projects with her. She is just so much fun and it kills me that Caylee never got a chance to reach such a wonderful and fun age?
Just had to share...
