ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)

The mother of a missing Florida girl has been released from jail on $500,000 bail.

Casey Anthony said nothing as she left the Orange County jail Thursday. She faces charges of child neglect, making false statements and obstructing an investigation.

Police say she lied to them and didn't report 3-year-old Caylee missing for more than a month.

Caylee hasn't been seen since June. Her grandmother reported her
missing in July.

Casey Anthony told investigators she gave her daughter to a babysitter but they don't believe her.

Anthony's attorney, Jose Diaz, escorted her out of the jail under a black umbrella. Diaz got into a scuffle with a journalist, pushing him out of the way.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) _ The mother of a 2-year-old missing Orlando
girl could be released from jail as early as Thursday.

A bondsman posted bail Wednesday for Casey Anthony, who has been
jailed on $500,200 bail since mid-July.

Police say Anthony lied to them and didn't report her 3-year-old
daughter, Caylee, was missing for more than a month. She faces
charges of child neglect, making false statements and obstructing
an investigation.

A hearing on those charges is scheduled for this morning.

Anthony told detectives she didn't immediately call authorities
to report her child missing because she was conducting her own
investigation, according to court papers.

I think she murdered her child,why wait a month later and report your child missing plain as simple she is hiding somthing she is guilt,some one that knows their child is missing and they love their child automaticaly calls and reports it she is a lier she has alot to do with lil caylee missing and I think she should seek the death penalty if she has killed this inasant baby the judge and law should see that Casey Anthony is hiding somthing for reporting her child missing 30 days later.

let her be free....for now, she';; still have to go to court to at least face the charges she was jailed for, it might not be much compared to murder charge but i'm pretty sure she'll do some time, i can only hope its hard time.
