Casey Anthony's 'failure to protect' contributed to Caylee's death, DCF said

After a nearly three-year investigation, DCF officials release comprehensive review of Caylee's death.

DCF officials this morning confirmed that Caylee Marie's death was the result of Casey Anthony's failure to protect her, an agency report released today shows.

"It is the conclusion of the Department of Children and Families that [Casey Anthony] failed to protect her child from harm either through her actions or lack of actions, which tragically resulted in the child's untimely death," the investigation's report states.

The nearly three-year Investigation verified three allegations classified as "maltreatments," including death, failure to protect and threatened harm.

They did not verify asphyxiation and physical injury because the Orange-Osceola Medical Examiner's Office was unable to confirm Caylee's cause of death.

DCF spokeswoman Carrie Hoeppner said the state agency's probe, which ended this week, was not a criminal investigation. The conclusions were submitted to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, but they will not result in any charges against Casey Anthony.

The child-protection agency routinely investigates child deaths. In this case, the agency investigated Caylee's death after it received allegations of "abuse at the hands of [Casey Anthony]," the report shows.

DCF started its second investigation into Casey Anthony on Dec. 29, 2008, after Caylee's remains were found in a swampy area off Suburban Drive, near the home she shared with her mother and grandparents.

Investigators for the state child-protection agency also said that Casey Anthony's actions were "neglectful."

She failed to "report her child missing in a timely manner" and left her in the care of "a baby-sitter for which she was unable to provide accurate information." ................

Wouldn't we all like to know what took DCF so long to come to this conclusion??? It almost makes one think that someone has friends who work for the department!!!
Naturally, I refer to someone as being friends of the defense team...Hopefully this news will circulate the globe and make it even harder for Miss No Name to remain in hiding...If an investigation is done and it is discovered that someone was holding back info/documents it won't be the first time that DCF in Florida has come under scrutiny...It just seems so weird that it would have happened in this case...Just another case of "oops, too late." Shame on them!!!
