There was abuse in my family and while I had the benefit of therapy as a young adult, after leaving the home, I still can't imagine that Casey would have waited until her life was on the line to bring it out, if that happened in her home. I'm not going to say that's impossible, but long ago I came to the conclusion that even if the entire family is that sick, it would not justify Casey contributing to or hiding her daughter's death. I stick by an earlier statement I made that if there was sexual abuse or efforts to molest in that family, it just doesn't justify this anyway. I do lean toward believing that those things didn't happen, but honestly, in very dysfunctional families it is very common although not typically done by the bio-parent. Sibling and extended family more likely. That doesn't mean I think bio-fathers never sexually abuse their kids, but it's just more often someone close, but not the bio-parent. But as I've said before, we have MANY men in prisons who have committed horrible offenses against kids and these men were abused as children. Did that fact get them off? No. So why should this get Casey off even if it's true?
I definitely don't think George found a drowned Caylee and demanded that Casey hide the body or that he did because that could lead to...whatever.....George would have to be completely paranoid to do that and I don't think there's been any sign that he's a real paranoid person.
