Pa Caylee's Law in works

Published by Tim McNulty on .

PA could be the next state to weigh a so-called "Caylee's Law" says PoliticsPa:

The verdict that prompted public outrage is now creating a headwind for a law that would prosecute parents who neglect to inform the police of a missing or deceased child with 48 hours.

After the trial, lawmakers were immediately confronted by constituents through emails and letters to push a Pa. version of Caylee’s Law.  Within days of the not guilty verdict for Casey Anthony, PA Sen. Larry Farnese (D-Phila) said he plans to introduce a bill to increase penalties against parents and guardians who neglect to report a missing child.
