I am concerned that the message that the Casey Anthony case is sending to some slightly off kilter parents, who would do anything to gain notority, is all you have to do to become famous is murder your child. Casey Anthony has been in the national spotlight for almost two months and on Florida's radar for almost three years. Enough is enough. We as parents can send a message to the media that this is not the type of behavior we want to put a spotlight on. For those of you whose eye's are glued to every second of the trial, take a good hard look at what has you so captivated. It probably wasn't the countless hours of testimony by experts about the hair fibers, death smell and bugs. It may be that watching such a dysfunctional family helps us to feel better about the type of parents that we are. Turning off the T.V. and going to do something fun with your children to celebrate thaat you are not a member of the Anthony family may give you an even better feeling about your parenting. If you feel that you will miss something, no need for worries, you can get caught up during the hourly news updates on every channel.
One thing that has certainly come out into the light of day is the fact that children who grow up in dysfunctional homes often times grow into dysfunctional adults.
