WICHITA, Kansas--The not guilty verdict for Casey Anthony stunned much of the country. Many who watched the trial closely were almost certain Anthony would be convicted of murder.
Natasha Brown is one of the many who knew the details of the case in and out.
What shocked her as a mother of a 3-year-old was the fact that Anthony’s daughter Caylee was not reported missing for 31 days.
"If my child were to go missing it would be within hours that I would report it so, 31 days is a bit much to not report your child missing,” said Brown.
That evidence is now pushing state legislators to review exiting laws concerning the reporting of a missing child.
Seven states have already begun drafting “Caylees Law” legislation because there are no penalties for failing to notify authorities of the death or disappearance of a child.
House Speaker Mike O'Neal says Kansas will join those states in changing laws.
"When people say, ‘Can what happened in Florida happen in Kansas?’ absolutely,’” O’Neal said.
O’Neal points to the case of Adam Herrman who was reported missing in 2008 by his sister. His adoptive parents said he ran away in 1999, but never reported that.
O’Neal says his disappearance is suspicious and that the parents should've been punished for not reporting it sooner. He's hoping a change in law will hold parents more accountable.
"Kansas law is not silent on this subject,” O’Neal said. “Its’ just in my view that it doesn't go far enough."
The Anthony case is still baffling to Cyndi Reid. Though her kids have always been in her sight, she welcomes a new law.

Caylee's Law" may be coming to KansasBy Dave Roberts
KWCH 12 Eyewitness News
9:44 p.m. CDT, July 8, 2011
(WICHITA, Kan.)—
Millions of people were glued to their television sets watching the Casey Anthony trial. Now lawmakers across the country are considering passing laws making it illegal to wait to notify authorities when a child is missing.
Kansas House Speaker Mike O'Neal wants a law like that, which some are calling "Caylee's Law," after Casey Anthony's daughter, to be passed.
::snipping2::
"A failure to report a disappearance is bad enough," he said. "To me, it's a form of child abuse."
::snipping2::
But Kansas' version won't be written until the next legislative session starts in January. Mike O'Neal says he will work with members of law enforcement to help him draft the law. Then when the next legislative session begins, the law will be formally written and voted on.

‘Caylee’s Law’ sensible
July 15, 2011
The need for a “Caylee’s Law” in Kansas seems suspect at first, just as House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, seems to be seeking headlines in proposing it. Then again, there really ought to be a law against saying nothing when your young child goes missing.
As O’Neal told the Lawrence Journal-World: “Kansas law should ensure that the authorities have the information they need to swiftly and safely recover missing children and include criminal penalties sufficient to address the intentional failure to report a child’s death or disappearance.”
::snipping2::
Under O’Neal’s proposal, failure to notify law enforcement of the death or disappearance of a child would carry criminal penalties. Kansas Social and Rehabilitation Services Secretary Rob Siedlecki supports the idea.
::snipping2::
In general, lawmakers should beware of bills named after victims and inspired by solitary crimes. They tend to be emotionally loaded, hard to debate and harder to vote against.
But whatever O’Neal decides to call it, such commonsense legislation seems worth a look in Kansas.

WICHITA, Kansas -- Kansas is one of multiple states that took action after the Casey Anthony trial to strengthen laws on when missing children should be reported.
A bill is close to becoming law that make it a crime to not report children missing in a timely manner.

The bill passed in the House and Senate with no opposition. Now it will go to a conference committee. Failure to report the disappearance of a child will be a severity level 8, nonperson felony.
