Court documents show the mother of a missing Florida toddler wanted to give the girl up for adoption before she was born.

Documents released by prosecutors Monday show Casey Anthony's mother insisted that she keep the child. Three-year-old Caylee has been missing since June.

Police say the 22-year-old Anthony didn't report Caylee missing for more than a month and then lied to them. Caylee's grandmother finally reported the disappearance in July.

Anthony faces charges of child neglect, making false statements and obstructing an investigation. She was released from jail on $500,000 bail last week and returned to her parents' home.

She has told detectives she didn't immediately report Caylee missing because she was conducting her own investigation.

This is horrible. How could anybody treat a child this way. This crazy lady has to know something, seriously, missing that long before she reports it and also saying she was doing her own investigation. She is obviously psychotic and why would a judge grant her bail? Poor child.

I'M BETTING CASEY ANTHONY SOLD HER DAUGHTER....WHAT BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO A FLAT OUT ADOPTION ESPECIALLY TO A DEMENTED PERSON? AND I DON'T RECALL READING ANYTHING ABOUT THE BLOOD FATHER. IS HE ANYWHERE TO BE FOUND? ANY CHANCE KKTV WOULD ADDRESS THIS IN A NEWSCAST?

Not excusing the mother...I mean, incubator, by any means but if HER mother had kept her nose out of it and let the woman put the baby up for adoption like she wanted to this would not have happened. I hope they find the child soon so the woman who gave birth to her will do her "partying" in prison.
