Casey Anthony...Not Guilty of Murder

A murder case is a far cry from building apps for kids...but I couldn't resist writing about the verdict.

As I logged onto Facebook everyone was talking about Casey Anthony...I couldn't recall the name, so I google'd (of course) and there she was...the accused killer of her own two year old daughter, Caylee.

It's a gruesome tale...I can hardly type it...let alone think about it, but it is something that must be addressed. First of all...she was found not guilty...a hard pill for anyone to swallow, including me.

The body of the toddler was found in a wooded area near the Anthony home...six months after she was reportedly missing. Anthony claims her daughter, Caylee, accidentally drowned, she was afraid, so she disposed of her body. The strange thing about it...the girl was found with duct tape over her mouth?

I've read a lot of opinions on whether she is guilty or innocent...but what in the world was this 20-something thinking? Regardless of whether she killed her own daughter is one thing...but the entire story wreaks of something sinister. How was Casey Anthony raised? Did she not have any morals, values or even a conscience? How do we begin to unravel her thought process...whether it be murder, the cover-up or the lack of sincere grief she so evidently does not possess?

Instilling values in our children is of the utmost importance...especially today with such immediate access to anything and everything online. Choose wisely, pay attention to what your children are doing and watching- and give them lots of love...hopefully that will inspire them to live a life worth living and passing down to the next generation.
