George Anthony, grandfather of slain 2-year-old Caylee Anthony offered moral support to the father of a missing Satsuma girl by meeting with him on Thursday. "We've become members of a unique club, and the club is there to help," said Anthony. "I want them to take care of themselves. They need to eat, they need to sleep, they need the community's help."
A Florida Amber Alert was issued for 5-year-ol Haleigh Cummings who went missing from her Satsuma home on Monday night.
Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, was at work while his 17-year-old girlfriend Misty Croslin was at home with the girl.
According to Fox News, Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy declined to disclose if Croslin had passed the lie detector test she took. CNN reports Haleigh's father claims both he and Croslin took polygraph tests and both passed.
"I locked doors before I left for work. My child cannot unlock the deadbolt, you have to force the door shut all the way... and she doesn't open the door to strangers," said Cummings.
Cummings returned home from his job as a crane operator at about 3 a.m. He and Croslin called 911 after discovering Haleigh was missing.

Haleigh's mother, Crystal Sheffield believes her daughter was kidnapped. "I just want my baby here. I just want them to bring back my baby," Sheffield said while crying.
Haleigh has blond hair and brown eyes and is 3 feet tall. She was last seen wearing underwear and a pink shirt.
Andrew Sheffield, Haleigh's uncle believes she is alive and said, "It's fishy. Somebody knows something."

The Nation is praying for you !!!
Why did the girlfriend wait to call 911??? That's just absurd!!
Just a hunch...but I think the girlfriend knows more than we think..
This seems a little fishy to me....... I pray that little girl is ok!!!
Go home George, you ain't finished the business there yet. Pull out the truth on the home front before you go elsewhere.
Why would an abductor turn on the kitchen light to bring attention to himself? That does not make any sense. This story does not make any sense.
nanna bee I agree... sure is strange how the names rhyme,around the same area and how he just shows up, I tink maybe they should take a look at some of the people showing up to search.
As for why the girl didn't call 911.. you never know how you will react untill it happens to you.
We will be praying for this family
Lady Justice are you kidding me. Are you saying that GA could have done this. THAT make NO sense....AT ALL
I dont want to judge, but i feel a little bit uneasy about the girlfriend, a few things just dont add up
LadyJustice, you are beyond ridiculous, sure glad your not a detective...what a blatant idiot you are. George Anthony is there to help the family, he knows what they are going thru, and if this helps him heal then he needs to be there. I hope and pray you never go thru something like this, you'll go looking for George Anthony. You are really ignorant.
I think what George Anthony is doing for the family is wonderful, god bless him and his beautiful baby grand daughter. It's time people leave him and his family alone and stop scrutinizing everything this family does. There is one person guilty of this little babies murder and its not the grandparents or the son.As far Haleigh they need to look at the girl who last saw this little girl alive and that's the fathers girlfriend, she just cant seem to get her store straight. IF she was telling the truth to begin the story wouldnt of changed. The truth will eventually come out. LadyJustice, The names Rhyme, are you friggin serious? You are ignorant like OhioLady said, what about little Adji LadyJustice, who took him? George Anthony, oh, cant be, the names dont rhyme. Get a life you DUMB B***H
They keep stating the girl friends age, but how old is the father? It's never been stated and I really want to know! Is he 18?
Got something to say?
