Cindy Anthony: Haleigh's Dad Made a Mistake

On the anniversary of Caylee Anthony's disappearance, her grandmother lashes out at the father of missing girl Haleigh Cummings.

It's been a full year since Caylee Anthony disappeared, last seen by her grandparents Cindy and George Anthony. One month later, Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, admitted that the two-year-old had been missing for five long weeks. Ultimately, the 22-year-old mother would be charged with the little girl's murder.

To mark the anniversary of the last day they saw their grandchild, George and Cindy Anthony granted CBS's "Early Show" an exclusive interview -- the majority of which they used to promote their Caylee Anthony Foundation. The foundation, according to its official website, was formed to "prevent child abduction through the creation of awareness of child safety measures and the missing child epidemic." Although the Anthonys' hearts might be in the right place, many are suspicious of the Florida couple's motives in spearheading an organization for missing children when their own daughter is accused of Caylee's murder.

Most outspoken against the Anthonys' newfound calling has been Ronald Cummings, the father of missing Florida girl Haleigh. George Anthony says he initially offered help in the Haleigh Cummings case "to show some support ... moral support." George says he promised to "stand in the background." The mother of Casey Anthony admonishes Cummings for turning down their aid. "To him I say: You made a mistake," she said. "When your child's missing, you can't turn anyone away." Cindy Anthony even dares to give herself credit for netting Cummings national media exposure on the night his daughter disappeared. "We had just got back from [Caylee's] memorial," she says. "We hurried up and made phone calls, desperate phone calls, to people. That was a day I should've just been home worrying about myself."

Do YOU think the Cummings made a mistake in turning down help from the Anthonys?

I am so tired of thier BS!! This will never end. Even after thier precious daughter is found guilty they will say she was wrongfully convicted. They will NEVER admit what happened. Cindy should have let Casey give Caylee up for adoption and she would still be alive. But she was to proud to let her. The foundation is BOGUS!! Thier grandaughter was murdered by thier daughter not kidnapped. Give me a F’in break!! They found a way to make money and they will keep doing it as long as they can. They have no room criticizing Ronald Cummins for not accepting thier help, they would only take help from people who would kiss thier butt and believe every lie they told. They denied help from anyone who knew how to truly help. They make me SICK!! Poor little Caylee, she never had a chance in that family. I say everyone just ignores them, stops putting them on TV and just pretends that they don’t exist. JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE!!!!!!!

Did’nt Cindy turn down help from Equasearch. SO, now why the hell is she all the sudden there for missing children when she sure was not there for her missing grandchild. These people are a real joke. And, they need to clean up there own back yard before trying to clean up others. Also, tv needs to quit interviewing them altogether. Baez thinks that if he pospones thte trial people will be less mad. Oh No Baez, I don’t think people will!!!!!

Cindy is a freatk!! She is the one who refuse equasearch to look for her granddaughter. Now, all the sudden she wants to help other missing kids. She needs to clean up her own back yard before trying to clean up others. Also, Baez is trying to postpone the trial in hopes people will “forget” well, no people will not forget this and will quite frankly be just as upset about this if the trial is in October or 2 years from now.

Who are the Anthonys to critize anyone? Mr. Cummins did what he thought was right for his family at the time. I wouldn’t want the Anthonys helping me do anything - especially the Mrs. If they are really as righteous as they are trying to appear, they wouldn’t have said a word about the Cummins family.

This just makes me sick. This interview was nothing but a bunch of lies as always from the Anthony’s. Georgie porgie is now giving a totally different story of when was the last time he saw Caylee. When he and SINdy gave an interview to Greta Van Sustren early in this saga, George said he was watching a food channel when baby killer Casey came in with Caylee on June 16th to say they were leaving for the day. Now he says in the recent interview it was 7:30 am the last time he saw Caylee. Frankly, I think baby killer Casey stormed out of the house on June 15th after her big blow up with SINdy and the following day Casey killed Caylee to get revenge for the fight she had with SINdy. And I don’t blame Ron one bit for not wanting help from the Anthony family. They are covering up for their murdering daughter, they have a controversial foundation which many believe that SINdy is using the funds to live on and for her spoiled brat, baby killer daughter’s defense. I don’t want my kids anywhere near the Anthony’s. And I wouldn’t want them to help me if God forbid, one of my kids got lost. They should just shut up forever and never show their faces on TV again. It is all about SINdy and George trying to create reasonable doubt to get their baby killer daughter free and then reap the profits from movie and book deals. I don’t trust this family at all.

I think it’s disgusting that George and Cindy went on national TV on the anniversary of Caylee’s murder and only talked about themselves and their foundation. They should have reminisced about Caylee and not talked about their involvement in the search for Hailey Cummings or their foundation at all. That was Caylee’s day and again they made it all about themselves. George and Cindy don’t care about Caylee or any missing children. All they care about is being on TV and getting donations without having to work the rest of their lives. I think the smartest thing Ron Cummings did was tell Cindy and George to stay away. Other missing children organizations have refused the Anthonys’ help also because they are supporting their granddaughter’s murderer and might give the organization a bad name. George and Cindy only pretend to console families of missing children to get on TV so they can get more donations. Who is dumb enough to send Cindy and George money to search for missing children when they never searched for their granddaughter? Not me.

Any parent of a missing child, should never turn to Cindy and George Anthony!Each of them are severely dillusional and deeply warped in their thinking and belief system. Together they are like a modern day “Bonnie and Clyde”.They are Florida law enforcements biggest nightmare historically!Full of lies, alibi’s,fraud, washing evidence,wrong toothbrushes for DNA, etc. With deception being their favorite sport, what on Earth could they possibly do to help families of missing children? They have nothing in common with honest,grieving, law abiding families of missing children! Cindy and George- Stop pretending you 2 are what you aren’t and never will be! You both need to atone a.s.a.p.

Well said, everyone!!! It reassures me that people are NOT going soft for that unspeakable brat,Casey, I know the strategy is to postpone this trial as long as poss. just for that purpose..We the army of strangers, have come to know that little angel Caylee, she belongs to all of us, we are her family..I put her picture out with the rest of family pictures. She never stood a chance with that bunch she was unfortunate to be born into!! I think we can’t call ourselves civilized when we allow so many innocent lives lost w/o swift conviction and punishment!

Pardon me for pointing out the obvious but Caylee was never a missing child because her mother/murderer knew where she was. I resent the time that was spent to look for this already dead child wasn’t spent looking for children who were actually missing.

Ronald Cummings made mistakes but the SMARTEST THING he ever did was to steer clear of Cindy & George Anthony. Cindy & George FAILED TO PROTECT Caylee from a mother they KNEW was incompetent & spinning out of control… and even worse than that, AFTER Caylee was murdered they want to pretend they always believed Casey was some kind of “mother of the year” and the ‘kind of daughter anyone would be proud to have.’ IMO, if Casey murdered Caylee in front of their eyes, they’d still be willing to pretend Casey is an innocent victim.

That’s right Cindy….everyone is wrong except for you and your family. That stance is so old.

I agree with Ronald not having the SCAMthony’s near his case; nothing is the same - no decomposition, no one driving around for days with her body in the trunk, no parents washing evidence and Ronald is not out to make money off his missing child. Add to that the Cindy and George were the sorriest excuse for parents and nothing they do will help Ronald. If I were Ronald I would want ANYONE helping but the Anthony’s. Their daughter murdered their granddaughter and they know it, plain and simple. One day they will face fact and realize Casey is now an adult and must face the consequences of her action on her own as she obviously has chosen to do (Baez isn’t the one not wanting George and Cindy to visit - it’s Casey- George helped put her where she is when he testified to the grand jury - as he should have done). Casey should never be allowed around another decent, honest human being ever- ever.

I Think the Anthony’s should be in jail right along with their daughter. It’s heartbreaking that they did not call 911 IMMEDIATELY upon not seeing that little girl within 24 hours of their last seeing her. They raised an unstable daughter because they themselves are unstable and they should shut the hell up. They are both to blame as much as their murdering daughter is for what happened to little Kaylee and their constant want for media attention is just a way to try to remeem themselves. God knows. God knows. And God will have the last word.

I dont think he made a mistake…the only thing the Anthony’s could offer is a circus…and nobody needs that at a time like this. And I agree with the earlier posters about Cindy’s glass house.

If my kid was missing I would want help from anybody and everybody…but I would not accept help from people like the Anthony’s. I do not know if the father or his girlfriend had anything to do with his daughter missing or not. But all the evidence points toward what the anthony’s daughter did to their grandaughter….and i totally agree with the post made my laurie above…..

Nope. If I were starving and they offered me the last food left on the planet, I would not take it. They really need their head’s examined. Create a foundation for your grandbaby who was not stolen or kidnapped, but murdered by their daughter. Now, that is something to be proud of. Yahoo’s they are. I swear.

Even though little is known about the case of Haleigh and that everyone involved is pointing fingers at each other, Ron has 100% every right to defend the integrity of his search. Especially if the Anthony’s bring nothing but negativity. Everyone despises them and I believe noone truly finds them faultless even if they weren’t the hands that slayed Caylee. If I were Ron, I’d accept all the help in the world, but I would deny the Anthony’s and those that bring bad press. Tying the Anthony’s to the Cummings is a HUGE no-no if Haleigh really was, more or less, innocently abducted. It would just further publicize that the controversial family of Caylee Anthony is now friends with the not-yet controversial family of the Cummings.

OK, Cindy and Georgie, what about when you turned Tim Miller away? You were SO sure that Caylee was alive(? or were you?) that you gave tim “bad press” just because he was looking for the remains of your granddaughter. hmmmmm You two have very short memeories and I for one think you should stay home and chill because you may not have to look for your next deceased family member.
