[QUOTE="donna723, post: 444266, member: 1883"] I think this is why there are petitions online to establish "Caylee's Law" that would make it a felony to fail to report the disappearance or death of a child within a certain period of time. I think it's really aimed at younger children because I agree, it would be sometimes be very difficult with older children or teenagers. In the Anthony case, those 31 days would have become a felony and she could have been convicted on that if nothing else. When you think about it, I wonder how long Casey would have carried on that charade if there hadn't been worried grandparents around to report her missing. It would be a little more difficult to hide if the child were old enough to be enrolled in school, but with a younger one it probably would be relatively easy if there weren't a lot of close friends and family around to take notice. If a curious neighbor asks where the baby is, a simple "She's staying with grandma for a while" or "She's with her father" might suffice. I've seen stories about this on TV about someone with vague childhood memories of a sibling that suddenly wasn't there anymore. Then as an adult they begin checking it out and it is discovered that the parents did away with the child and it has been hidden for decades! It happens! [/QUOTE]
