I find it disparaging despite the donation - the dolls cost almost $30.00, and only $3.00 per doll is being donated to a charity? On the other hand, is it in bad taste that a missing little boy is called a "Code Adam" after John Walsh's son? If it brings awareness to the public of what happened, and forces them to consider the harshness of the world, I think it's worth it, even if it is a bit morbid and disparaging. People need to be made aware that just because America is the "land of the free" does not mean that there aren't terrible elements that need to be recognized - too many people have an overly optimistic view of how the country, and the people in it, will treat them.

I don't agree with selling dolls in Caylee's image, but I do believe in putting something in people's homes that will constantly remind them of the tragedy, and what they did to make sure that their own children never undergo such an event. A bracelet, tee shirt, or similar item would be cheaper to produce, and as such the profiteering of such a charitable cause wouldn't be as tempting - a $2.00 wristband with $1.00 of each sold being donated to a charity doesn't look like a sick way of making money of a dead child, it looks like a charitable event. Implementing something like that would be a far better idea than a doll - are parents buying these for their children? Are they saying, "Now sweetie, let mommy and daddy explain the meaning behind that doll..." as they give them to them? Changing the hair color isn't enough to keep it from being morbid - it shouldn't be a child's toy, period.

I tend to find that most of the footage on such events are overly saturating the televisions these days, anyway. It's almost pornographic when no matter what channel you flip to, there's video footage, audio recording, family pictures and weepy interviews with friends and relatives. It's exposing a family's grief to the public for general entertainment value - surely most are empathetic, but you shouldn't deprive a family to make headlines.
