The skeletal remains of a small child were found Thursday near the home of missing Orlando toddler Caylee Anthony's family.

There was no immediate word on whether the bones, reportedly discovered wrapped in a plastic bag and bound with duct tape, were those of a boy or a girl.

"All we know is that remains of a child have been found," a police spokeswoman told FOXNews.com. Orange County sheriffs and forensics teams went to the scene at the intersection of South Chickasaw Trail and Suburban Drive in Orlando.

I hope the mother suffers for many a long long years... that kid she's so adorable, as a father, these stories make me sick.

I'm glad that they found her, maybe her soul will have peace, and the mother can face the judgment she's due.

Sad, but not unexpected; it makes me wonder how a mother who gave birth could commit such a heinous crime; there are so many loving families in this world who would have loved to adopt this precious innocent little girl.
 
sick, sick, sick....
a few years ago some woman in Phoenix killed her kids and dumped them in the sewer system...
There will be Hell to pay for that kind of woman when she gets into prison.
 
It seems to me like there has to be some sort of logical reason for these kinds of things happening whether it be an extreme form of Muchausen by Proxy Syndrome or some other sort of mental disorder.

Selfish mother, wants to live the good life and get rid of the kid. So instead of giving her up for adoption, and dealing with her family hating on her... she killed the kid and concocted this craptastic story of "missing child".

She's gonna burn.

I don't think it's always that simple. It could very well be in this case, but I think there could be deeper issues at play here just as there are in most of these cases. I think it is important for us as a society to get a firm understanding of these and other mental disorders so that we can possibly take preventative measures before more of these cases pop up. I think it would be better to understand such disorders rather than simply label it as "evil" and move on.

There can be NOTHING logical about attrocities.
 
There are logical explanations for pretty much everything and this is no exception.

We disagree on this; you attempt to see logic in everything, I choose to look at the reality and say that anyone who would butcher a cute young girl and attempt to hide her body is nothing more than a seriously sick mental case who needs to be kept away from society for the rest of their life.

Actually it is for the benefit of understanding such things. I think it's ignorant to just label something as evil and bury it as if to pretend it never existed. Some people have severe psychological disorders that causes them to do absolutely horrid things. I think it's important to try and understand these things so that we can possibly detect them early and prevent them from even happening in the first place. I think that it is kind of the knee-jerk reaction of society to label things as "evil" or whatever because we don't want to understand these things. The sensationalist media certainly doesn't help because to label something as simply "evil" and not offer a possible explanation for it makes it more scary and therefore gets them more ratings.
 
It's logical to assume this "mother" is evil and her actions prove this out.

Actually, no it isn't. That is an extremely oversimplified way of looking at it. To simply call someone evil doesn't explain a single thing because first you would have to have an absolute definition of evil.

Killing your own child... that's a good place to start.

It isn't evil if it is the result of a extreme mental disorder. Then again, as I've discussed in other threads, I don't believe in the concept of absolute or universal evil.

You are a coward then. There IS such thing as evil, it exist, just as good does.

People that refuse to accept the reality of Evil IMHO are afraid of the truth. "There just HAS to be some REASON for this behavior!!"

Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Kim Jong Il, Che...

All of these people were evil, horrible people that kill/killed their own citizens, country men and people for personal gain, indifference, hate, malice and yes... EVIL ends.

Granted this woman could be mentally sick but unless its proved otherwise this bitch is evil and deserves the most horrible and painful punishment legally possible.

I'm a coward because I don't believe in the concept of absolute evil? Give me a break. :roll: Could you be more arrogant?

Ah, so now I don't believe in evil because I'm afraid of the truth. :roll: :lol:

I think that simply labeling something as evil is a cop out because it's oversimplified. There is a reason that these people behave the way that they do and in this particular case I'd say that it is psychological more than anything. People label something as evil because it's easy to do so. It requires very little to no thought.

They were evil according to you and many others, but that still doesn't make them absolutely evil to everyone.

She has to have mental issues. Nobody does something like that for no reason other than to be "evil".

there are no cures for mental disorders, and even the treatments are iffy.
Most mental disorders creep in so slowly that it takes a long time to even recognize them.
Brain chemistry is largely a mystery to science.
This woman has no idea what she had done, yet. With treatment, maybe she will come to a realization someday, and I wouldn't want to be her at that time....

There is no cure, you are absolutely right. However, the more we know about these things the more possible it will be to take preventative measures and have someone put into custody before they commit such a horrid act or else put them into some kind of a program where they can get the proper treatment and medication that could help the situation.

It is very difficult to legally incarcerate, or institutionalize, someone for what they MAY do....any other program would have to be voluntarily submitted to...

Children are more likely to be abused and killed by their own parents than by strangers. Parents kill their children for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's an accident resulting from a parent unable to control their temper. Sometimes it's just plain selfishness, where the parent sees the child as an impediment to their own desires. The Susan Smith case was like that. Smith's boyfriend didn't want her kids, and Smith wanted the boyfriend, so she killed her kids so they wouldn't get in the way.

The woman who drowned her five babies, now there was a picture perfect case of a woman driven totally mad by exhaustion, a cold perfectionist husband, and several full-blown cases of post-partum psychosis for which her husband refused her treatment.

Thing is, people murder other people for hundreds of individual reasons without being mentally ill. They can kill for greed, out of self-interest, because they can't control their anger, or because they just like hurting people weaker than themselves. Now I'm totally non-religious, but people really can be evil to the core. We've seen the result a thousand times, on large and small scales.

I dismiss moral relativism as cowardice of character and weakness of soul.

You refuse to take a stand because someone might think said evil is good... what do YOU believe in?
