(Newser) – The remains of a young child have been found within a quarter-mile from the Florida home of Casey Anthony, the 22-year-old mom charged with killing her missing daughter. A utility worker made the discovery this morning when he picked up a bag and a duct-taped skull rolled out, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Forensic detectives are examining the remains for, among other details, the child's gender.

"We certainly hope it isn't [related to the Anthony case]. If it is, it is a sad day," an Anthony spokesman said.

I've been following this story from the start and thursday while watching the news, my 3 year old asked me where Caylee was. Casey is a demon. Only a demon could kill a beautiful precious child. And then party away and sleep around without a care in the world. If my daughter went missing and I didn't report it, my parents would close to kill me and rightfully so. I hate that precious Caylee is gone, but then again, no one in that F- éd up family deserves her. This story upsets me so bad, I could kill that demon bitch casey with my bare hands. I told my daughter that Caylee is in heaven and that she is fine now.
