Caylee's Law: 700K Sign Petition For New Federal Law: Good Idea Or Bad?
In response to the verdict in the recent Casey Anthony trial, some activists have proposed a new federal law.
It would be called Caylee's Law.
It's a proposed federal bill that would charge parents with a felony if...
- they fail to report a missing child within 24 hours,
- if they fail to report the death of a child within an hour.
What's very surprising is just how quickly the Change.org petition for Caylee's Law has gone viral.
The petition now has more than 700,000 signatures, and is now the most successful campaign in the site Change.org's history.
For reasons of constitutionality and practicality, it seems unlikely that Caylee's Law will ever be realized at the federal level.
According to the Associated Press, at least sixteen state legislatures are now seriously considering some version of the law.
It seems like common sense to require parents to report missing children asap and to report a deceased child quickly.
I'm amazed that these holes in our system existed in the first place - in any state.
