It is possible to have a doctor , lawyer, writer, priest and a mass murderer from the same set of parents. It just is. Just my opinion so far.

I tend to agree with you, whartonjelly. From what I have heard and read Cindy and George aren't exactly "functional" people. Apparently, George must have a problem with anger and self control or he wouldn't have pushed his father through a plate glass window a few years back. I agree that Casey was either born with a deficiency in her brain or her parents created this monster by spoiling her and/or abusing her. There are all kinds of abuse that can seriously harm and stunt the normal growth and maturity of a child. If Casey killed her child in the way that the prosecution seems to feel that she did, she is indeed sick. IF she WAS born this way I feel sorry for her. If the environment in the Anthony home was truly horrible she could also have learned to disassociate early on and live in another reality. If she truly suffered as a child in that home I feel sorry for her. What makes me the most sad is that her parents apparently never saw the signs that their daughter was a psycopath. I realize that Casey is probably the one who comitted this horrendous crime, but IF there was abuse, sexual or otherwise, and if in fact they created this monster, the parents bear some of the shame and responsibility for the death of this child. Unless a child is born with a mental defect that could turn him or her into an adult killer the cause can almost always be traced to childhood abuse. I am withholding an opinion as to whether or not George sexually abused Casey. When he was on the stand and asked if he did, he wasn't very convincing in his answer. Most pedophiles lie about the abuse they inflict on a child. It's possible that Casey is also a victim in all of this. It's also possible that we will never know the truth as to HOW this child died or WHY she died. Denial is a powerful coping mechanism that allows people to NOT deal with serious emotional issues. I'm wondering if this whole family has been immersed in deep denial for so long that they didn't even see that "the Emperor was wearing no clothes"?
