Fla. Mother Waited 5 Months before Reporting Missing Baby Daughter

A Florida mother called police about her missing 2-year-old daughter five weeks after the baby went missing. The 22-year-old mother was charged with neglect and lying to police.

The woman identified by police personnel as Casey Anthony of Orlando, Florida, is being held without bond in Orange County. Unfortunately, her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony wasn’t found yet. A MySpace page dedicated to the search was created.

The negligent mother entered court for hearing this morning. Judge John Jordan told her that she cared so little about her baby girl that she left her with a person who does not exist at an apartment she cannot identify, the Orlando Sentinel reported quoting the judge. Furthermore, Anthony lied to her parents about her child's whereabouts.

According to local news organizations, Anthony told investigators she left the girl with a babysitter at an Orlando apartment complex in early June. She said she has been searching to that woman ever since, but police investigators found out that the apartment where the babysitter was supposed to reside was vacant for more than four months. Moreover, the woman Anthony said was the babysitter said she doesn’t know the negligent mother, Central Florida News 13 reported.

"It's difficult to sort through what we've been told, given that what we've been given was false," Sheriff's Sgt. John Allen told the Orlando Sentinel.

The baby’s grandmother reported her missing and she said she did it so late because the mother kept telling her that Caylee was okay.
