Protest of Anthony home turns violent

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 18 (UPI) -- The grandparents of missing Florida child Caylee Anthony say a group of angry protesters attacked their home in Orlando and assaulted one of them.

Cindy Anthony, Caylee's grandmother, says protesters allegedly began throwing rocks at her house early Thursday morning and then attempted to drag her husband, George, into the street, WKMG-TV, Orlando, reported.

The group of enraged protesters then fled the scene saying "See you tomorrow" to the two, Cindy Anthony said. Police later arrived at the scene, but no arrests have been made.

The Anthony family has been the target of multiple protests since Caylee's mother, Casey, was released from jail this month. Her release marked the third time she has been released from police custody since her 3-year-old daughter's disappearance in June.

One anonymous protester outside the home of the child's grandparents told WKMG-TV there is concern that Casey Anthony had something to do with Caylee's disappearance.

"(We're here) just to protest," the woman said. "It's just to break them down. I think they are just protecting their daughter (Casey) which is the wrong thing to do in this case."
