It’s stuff, not a person. How is this different than any estate sale?

This is why I think it's different. Caylee was 2 years old. She had cute toys that taught her numbers, letters, shapes, etc.

These toys were meant to be her comfort, something to hold onto when she got scared or upset, or just wanted a peaceful nap or to help her go to bed.

A blanket, a stuffed Tigger, some small trinket that may not mean much to an adult, but meant a lot to her.

I've been to estate sales of elderly people. They contain the remains of a fully lived life.

I was never "sad" when I went to these sales.

But for the sale of a (likely murdered) child, I simply couldn't buy anything.

It would be terrible.

It's stuff not a person

"Stuff" when it comes attached to its history brings those memories. Would anyone want their child playing with the toys of someone whose life ended so horribly?

If they wanted someone else to enjoy the toys, they should've been donated annonymously, maybe to a group home. Profiting from the loss of a child is wrong.

Yea you are correct. Still some here are correct in that people will put this stuff on ebay just cause of who the child’s mom was. That is where it gets sick.
