Why?
December 12th, 2008
All I can ask myself is why? Why would a mother kill her beautiful little baby girl? How could she dump her body in the woods like a bag of trash?
For any that don’t know, investigators have found the remains of a child about .3 miles away from the Anthony’s residence in Orlando. It has not been confirmed yet, but it is in all likelihood the remains of poor little Caylee Anthony. This would lead one to believe, if you didn’t already, that 22 year old Casey Anthony was involved in the murder and dumping of her own daughter.
I just don’t understand it. Interestingly enough, these kind of stories used to not be that big of a deal to me. They didn’t involve people that were close to me, and while I still empathized with those involved, it did not mean that much. Once Brooke was born and I became so close to her, it has been different. Maybe you have to have a kid to fully appreciate how much you love them. This incredibly sad story has affected me a lot. I am not to proud to admit that I teared up a bit yesterday when it was announced that remains had been found.
The level of depravity it must take to kill a child, much less your own child, is something that is incomprehensible to me. How could a 22 year old woman do such a thing? For that matter how could anyone kill a three year old baby girl?
I am not a stupid person, and I know there is all kinds of evil in the world. That is the only explanation for something like this. Pure wickedness.
At least poor Caylee’s remains can now be laid to rest. She is in heaven being comforted by our Lord. That is the only solace one can have in such a situation.
