From New Jersey:

Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean, Jr., R-Westfield, introduced legislation to the New Jersey Senate on Wednesday that makes it a crime not to report the death or disappearance of a child.

From Massachusetts:

It started with a click of the mouse. When 22News reported last week on the movement to create Caylee’s Law, an online petition had just over 200,000 signatures. As of Wednesday that number had quadrupled- over a million people pleading with lawmakers to make it a crime not to report a child missing. Now legislators are listening- and responding.

From California:

California legislators are seeking to increase the penalty for parents who fail to report their children missing in the wake of the controversial verdict handed down in the death of a young Florida girl.

It’s happening all over the country. In response to the not guilty verdict, there’s a push to make not reporting a child’s death or disappearance a crime. Good idea? Not needed? Over reaction to a specific, unusual case where the prosecution fell down on presenting enough evidence so the verdict was correct? Still needed despite that? Political grandstanding to mob outcries or a reasonable idea that should have already been law? Sound off.
