Dysfunctional Parenting (or lack thereof): Casey Anthony

by Lara on August 23rd, 2008

What much can be said about Casey Anthony, and the disappearance of little Caylee Anthony?

• The mother, Casey, while in jail seemed more concerned with getting her boyfriend’s phone number than talking to her family about the case or what was going on with anything. See “A big fat waste of time.”
• There’s no trace of this so-called “nanny”.
• Casey barely has shed a tear in court, on the phone, in the media, to detectives…
• and she was purportedly out partying only 2 nights after Caylee’s disappearance was reported by the girl’s grandmother, Casey’s mother, Cindy.
• So far since the investigation started back in July, there are at least 4 or 5 men who have been mentioned in terms of a “relationship” of sorts with Casey Anthony. A couple ex-fiancees, an ex-boyfriend or two, a current boyfriend (who wasn’t the first boyfriend mentioned when she was in jail on the phone)… where’s Caylee’s father? WHO is Caylee’s father? Does anyone know? Does HE know? Could she have handed Caylee off to him? I don’t get this…

I’ll be the first one to sympathize with the parents of a missing child, but damn, she didn’t even report her missing, and the grandmother wound up doing it. I mean, the second I didn’t know where my child was, the split-second I couldn’t talk to her on a moment’s notice had I left her with “someone”, the first thing I’d do is run to the police. But no, not Casey Anthony. Nope. So why?!

It’s also been said that Casey’s relationship with her parents has been quite strained. Supposedly, she went to her parents when she found out she was pregnant with little Caylee, and they took her in, supported her, paid the medical bills, helped raise Caylee… but then all of the sudden, around the same time as Caylee’s disappearance, Casey is accused of racking up her parents’ credit card, moving out to live with an ex-boyfriend and another friend, and stealing gasoline cans from the parents’ garage.

This is more and more looking like a situation where Casey wasn’t ready to “give up her freedom” to a child, and it’s taken her this long to figure out how to handle that situation… and she totally picked the wrong choice.

What do you think?
