Congressman wants money for missing child program/FLACongressman wants money for missing child program
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - U.S. Representative Alan Grayson of Florida wants $500,000 from Congress to establish a missing-child program in Orlando named in memory of Caylee Anthony.
If granted, the funds would go to the Fort Lauderdale-based A Child Is Missing organization, which helps law enforcement across the country search for missing children, elderly or disabled people.
The group uses a telephone system to alert communities when someone is missing. The request requires the money to be spent in the 8th District, which includes Orange and Lake counties.
Caylee was 2 when she went missing in 2008; she was later found dead. Her mother, Casey Anthony, is charged with the girl's murder.
