Casey Anthony has been recently found not guilty of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.
In the aftermath of her being found not guilty, four states are drafting legislation being referred to as "Caylee's Law."
This law would tighten requirements on missing persons reports and serve justice for Caylee.
According to ABC News, there is an online petition for a "Caylee's Law" that went viral on Change.org, which has collected over 300,000 signatures.
The petition calls for a law that would make it a federal offense for a parent or guardian who does not notify police of a missing child within 24 hours. It also calls for felony charges if the death of their child is not reported within an hour of the incident
There is now a Facebook page "Caylee's Law" which has over 30,000 followers and people posting their thoughts and prayers almost every minute.
According to ABC News, "Caylee was missing for a month before grandmother Cindy Anthony reported her disappearance to police. Casey Anthony then claimed that a nanny abducted Caylee. She stuck to that story for three years until her lawyer said at her murder trial that Caylee accidentally drowned in the family pool. She was convicted on four counts of lying to law enforcement officers and is scheduled to be released from jail next week."
