Would You Support Caylee's Law?

Three years and a day after her daughter was killed, Casey Anthony was released from jail Saturday, having been acquitted for the murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Marie Anthony.

Legislators from 30 states have pledged to carry a version of Caylee's Law, which would make it illegal for parents and guardians to fail to report when their child has been killed or gone missing.

On Friday, California Assemblywoman Holly Mitchell introduced Assembly Bill 1432, which would make it a felony for a parent or guardian to fail to report a missing or dead child within 24 hours of the death or disappearance if it occurred under suspicious circumstances.

The national movement to create Caylee’s Law began with an online petition written by an Oklahoma mother of two.

Channeling the national outrage of the throngs who believe Anthony got away with murder, Caylee’s Law is designed to help find missing children sooner or ensure that police have a chance to investigate the death or disappearance of a child while the evidence is still fresh.
