George Anthony joins search for Haleigh

"I want them to take care of themselves," he said. "They need to eat, they need to sleep, they need the community's help."
George said he, his wife Cindy, and son Lee will be there for the Cummings family during these tough times.
"We've become members of a unique club, and the club is there to help," he said.
George said he has told the family of Haleigh to "turn over every stone" in the search. He also has some private words for Haleigh's father and his girlfriend that he did not want to share with the media.
George worked with the Kid Finders network during the search for his granddaughter and has brought that resource to the search for Haleigh.
He said the organization has launched a website dedicated to bringing Haleigh home,
What others are saying
- sick and tiredafter seeing george and nut job cindy's deposition...i can see why casey is a murdering nut job. cindy's eyes about popped out of her head the whole time..she is NUTS>>>..and george is a smug bastard...smurking ..cocky..until that lawyer set him and his lawyer strait...then it was sir this and sir that.... so sick of these nut jobs protecting that whore in jail....
- GeorgeIt think it is very admirable that George is willing to help find Haleigh -I really do.
But he is not emotionally able to give a deposition??????
It looks like to me that it would also be very emotionally draining for him to be helping this poor family look for their missing daughter.
Maybe I'm off base, but I don't think so. - George getting involved....really?I say this man needs to just Be Quiet. I really don't want to hear from him now. I wanted to hear from him when everyone was trying to find his granddaughter and he just protected his wife and daughter.
- No they didn't look for Caylee and IMO the reason they didn't is because they knew she was dead and they didn't want to be the ones to find her.
Maybe this will help him achieve closure, not that I believe there is EVER complete closure. But now that he has walked in their shoes (sorta) he can appreciate all the volunteers that were there for Caylee.
I too believe his heart is in the right place. I hope this helps him in the healing process. - I agree with whoever said George's heart is in the right place but his head is still in a mess. I can see where helping others will help George, but this is apple's and oranges totally. Casey is the ONLY accused murderer of his grandchild........Hayleigh is MISSING at this point. It irked me to read the part where he said something on the order of leaving no stone unturned searching for Hayleigh, when they sure did little to find Caylee or get TRUTH knocked out of Casey!
- Haleigh websiteThe link is supposed to be HelpFindHaleigh.com but it wasn't working when I tried.
- Website?George's organization has launched a website to help bring Haleigh home?
Anyone have a link? URL? Anything? - launched a website?George's organization launched a website? What is it? Where is it?
- Show some sympathy here pleaseCome on guys, George is a victim of Casey's games and lies. He so desperately wanted to believe that he did not raise the monster that his daughter now appears to be. He was holding onto every last strand of hope that little Caylee was alive. He wanted more than anything for his daughter to be telling the trut that Caylee would be found alive and well. Keep in mind that it was George that has cooperated with the FBI and it was George that was willing to take the polygraph until Lee talked him out of it.
The Anthony family has literally lived in the spotlight for almost a year now and its hard to predict how you would act if faced with the same situation.
I think helping other family's is George's way to heal. Now he probably sees that he didn't do everything to help find Caylee but you know what they say about hindsight.
Please keep in mind that the Anthony family (excluding Casey) are victims in all of this too and if any of them need your prayers and support its George. He is nothing but a broken man who realized that the daughter he loves and raised murdered his granddaughter. - George Anthony helping Haleighs FamilyI applaud George!!! For who better knows what Haleigh's Dad is growing through, than George. Both men can find strength and comfort from one another.George deserves praise for reaching out to a family so desperately in need of support and compassion, through this heart wrenching moment in time.
- George Anthony joins search for HaleighThe Anthony's can teach this family how to yell at Reporters, lie, ask for help-then let everyone else search (and not bother to thank them) Blame EVERYONE for this missing child They need to stay out of it-go coddle Casey
- George Anthony helping with the Haleigh searchI think many of you are too harsh. Mr. Anthony has and is enduring a hell that none of us can imagine. I think he is unable to sit at home while this little girl is missing. I can imagine that he wants to be able to help in any way he can. He probably regrets not turning over every stone with his dear granddaughter. Please just have some respect for a man that really is trying to find a reason to move his life in a meaningful direction for his darling Caylee. (please note that I do think casey is guilty of that crime)
- George AnthonyI say "BRAVO GEORGE"! This is a big step in the healing for this man that has been through hell and back. Regardless of any of the negative aspects of his daughters case, he's reaching out to help someone else! BRAVO GEORGE, I pray you help find and bring that little girl home!
- What a wonderful way to heal. Caylee did not died in vain. Her death taught alot to people. Everyone is down on her grandpa. That man really does love Caylee and I believe that I would be there to help with Haleigh's search if I was in George's shoes. Everyone can sit and talk about the negative things of the Anthony's, but come on... they are human and no one knows how they would react to the situation if they were in it. Don't make judgements about things you know nothing about. I pray for George, Cindy, Lee, and yes, Casey. OMG!! What a severe loss... they never gave up hope. And now they are doing exactly what they need to do to heal from their tradgedy. God Bless the Anthonys.
- George AnthonyI will admit that George Anthony is the only member of the Anthony family that I have completely believed and felt sorry for thru this. When people go thru a tragedy like this helping others can help make their loved one's life continue in meaning for them. I am proud of you, Mr. Anthony. God bless Haleigh and may she be found safe. And may God keep Caylee cradled in His loving arms.
- Good for GeorgeThis is a time that a helpless 5 year year old needs the publics help. George publicly mentioned that he was going to devote his time to missing children. Haleigh was reported missing the same day Caylee's memorial took place. I am glad to see Mr. Anthony is standing behind his words, even though they are being tested so soon. This is his way to help heal his broken heart.
- Good LuckI think it's a great thing that George Anthony is helping with trying to find Haleigh. Why would anyone dog someone for trying to help another person. I just don't get some people. Good Luck to all searching for Haleigh.
- George Anthony/Haleigh CummingsIf my child was missing I would not want any of the Anthonys near me. I guess this keeps them in the spotlight a little longer and beats working for a living. IMHO
- georgewell the anthonys love to be in the spotlight....this keeps them there now that poor caylee's memorial over with..
- George Anthony...Maybe Mr. Anthony is hoping that if they take action quickly, that Haleigh will have a different outcome from his poor granddaughter, Caylee. It may give Mr. Anthony some closure to find little Haleigh alive, and he will feel like he helped one little girl since he was completely helpless with his own granddaughter.
- George may not be strong enough to be putting himself through this, but maybe it will help him get his mind off of his own family.
- George Anthony joins search for HaleighI have three thoughts on this:
1--Please get the facts straight-George Anthony is the GRANDFATHER of Caylee, not the father.
2--Why on earth is he telling the family of Haleigh to "turn over every stone", when neither he, Cindy, nor Lee ever turned over the first stone to look for Caylee? All he did was drive around with a sign behind his car and hand out flyers. Never went with any of the search teams.
3--This really disturbs me! KidFinders? Are you serious? Why is he bringing them into this? Fact is-they have never found the first child.
I know George's heart is in the right place, but his head seems to be elsewhere! - George Anthony assisting in search for HaleighI suppose this is a form of therapy for George. I would imagine LE doesn't exactly appreciate his presence, however.
- Helping Find HaleighThis is a very positive thing for George to do. He has been through hell and finding a new purpose will hopefully help George during these trying times
- George Anthonyif little haleigh is deceased it might devastate the anthony family even more.
- George Anthony helping in Haleigh'sOne of the best ways to help heal is through helping others. Godspeed, George.
- Haleigh search/George AnthonyGood for George! I'm glad he's involved himself into something that he will contribute his time and energy to during this hard time for both Haligh's family and Caylee's family hard times...
