George Anthony Wants to End Life

This is absolutely the most heart-breaking news (more here) that I have seen this morning. George Anthony reportedly left, and checked into a motel. At some point, he missed a family meeting with their attorney, and sent his family a message that he wanted to end his life. The Orange County police tracked him down via his cell phone pings, and he is currently in the hospital for observation. He says he doesn’t want to live anymore.

Read moreI can only imagine the hell that Cindy and George are going through. The pain is beyond what any of us could ever comprehend. Few of us seem to put ourselves in their shoes to truly try to understand. They have not only one tragedy of inconceivable proportions, but two to deal with. And if they are to accept the realities of what happened, they have to accept that this nightmare came from their own flesh and blood. What does that do to a person’s sense of self-worth? I can only imagine it would bring you to where George found himself. How else could one feel?

I know many people will say that the Anthonys should have reacted differently while they still could. These are people who don’t understand our legal system, and what it is like to know or live with a psychopath. I personally don’t believe psychopaths are created. I believe they are born, and one day, we will understand the defects of the brain that cause these dangerous people to act in the ways that they do. But right now, we are in the dark ages of brain science.

If you’ve never experienced a psychopath, and been forced to deal with their manipulation, control and lies, it’s a world you couldn’t possibly understand. People without a conscience are people with incredible power and influence because they have no boundaries. They will push others to the limits of sanity because it doesn’t cause them any heartbreak to do so. Psychopaths are the ultimate manipulators. They can control the best of us, if we get too close.

My heart goes out to George and Cindy Anthony in these most difficult of times. I do not judge them for their behavior in any form. I feel great pain when I think of the situation they are in and I wish them the strength and courage to move forward, and ultimately peace in knowing the did the best they could with what they knew at the time.

Fox also reported this:

A former boyfriend, Ricardo Morales, told investigators she had made jokes about giving Caylee baby medicine to put her to sleep, according to MyFOXOrlando.com. But he also said she seemed to have a normal relationship with her daughter.

So next time you hear something as sick as this, what are you going to do?

You can call the police, but if Casey says it is a joke, and the police believe her because she looks harmless, and she doesn’t have any type of record, and the police believe she is not a threat to her daughter, what else can you do? Seriously, what options do you have to stop something so horrific as what happened to Caylee?

I believe I can pick out a psychopath more than the average person, but until you or I can prove they have an intent to harm another person, there is absolutely nothing you or I, or anyone else can do to stop such a tragedy from occurring. It’s the price we pay for our ultimate freedoms as a society.
