What if she were a DAD?

I have spent months following the case of Caylee Anthony who is a three year old girl from Florida that has been missing since June. It is a shame because it now appears that she may have been found deceased. The remains that are believed to be hers were found in an area very close to her grandparents home. It also appears that the person who took her life was her mother, Casey. I am sure that as the case progresses that the women's rights groups will come out in defense of this woman. They will claim stress, chemical imbalance or depression. What would happen if the killer were her father? Could he expect the same attempt at understanding his motivation? I don't think so.

I am not afraid to say that I think she deserves the same treatment as her male counterpart would. I would hope that if it determined that she was the killer that she be given the death penalty. That would not advance father's rights but it might prove that women are receiving equal treatment for the same crimes. That would be a start.

Have a great evening.

Be well!

Women's Rights groups didn't help Terri Schiavo when she was being abused at the hands of a flawed system.

I just wanted to say that it is the "broken system" that is the enemy -- not the females or males of the world. Think of the "power" uniting against the common enemy would bring!
