ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The mother of a missing Florida girl has
been released from jail on $500,000 bail.

Casey Anthony said nothing as she left the Orange County jail
Thursday. She faces charges of child neglect, making false
statements and obstructing an investigation.

Police say she lied to them and didn't report 3-year-old Caylee
missing for more than a month.

Caylee hasn't been seen since June. Her grandmother reported her
missing in July.

Casey Anthony told investigators she gave her daughter to a baby
sitter but they don't believe her.

Anthony's attorney, Jose Diaz, escorted her out of the jail under a black umbrella. Diaz got into a scuffle with a journalist, pushing him out of the way.
