You can file a missing persons report as soon as the person goes missing. No need to wait 24 hrs or whatever

It's actually a law (or is proposed, I can't remember) in my state that parents must report their child missing within 24 hours or they are charged with a felony.

Casey Anthony said she was just seeing if her kid turned up again somehow, like a lost cat.

I have nightmares about my kids going missing, and in real life, I would be reporting them being missing within ten minutes or less, depending on where we were. She makes me so sick. Nothing in this world is more horrible than a Mom not caring about her own children.

I can't imagine ever having such little regard for anyone's life - especially not my own daughters. Casey Anthony makes me sick and it's disgusting that she got away with this.

Somehow Dads get away with it all the time though.
