Caylee Anthony case inspires new Illinois law
SPRINGFIELD (AP) — A new Illinois law makes it a felony for parents to stay silent if a child dies or disappears.
The law was inspired by the case of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony in Florida. She was missing for a month before her grandmother contacted police.
Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, was charged with the girl's murder but was acquitted.
