The only common sense I'm seeing is that it would be common sense to promptly report your child missing.
But maybe that's just me

Such a law could be responsible for many innocents sent to jail.
Say your child dies of natural causes in their sleep and you discover it the next morning. An unscrupulous DA could charge the parents with failure to report the death with in one hour of the death occurring
And what exactly is the age requirements on said law? If you have a child that is a teen and routinely runs away, this could become onerous.
As was noted criminals are not going to follow the law anyway. We don't need laws that are pointless.
She was found not guilty live with it.
The national wildfire known as "Caylee's Law" has come to Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Legislators in both states are drafting proposed laws - in response to public uproar over the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial - that would oblige parents and guardians to promptly report the death or disappearance of a child.
The overnight push for new laws has some lawmakers and legal experts cautioning against "knee-jerk" legislation.
Michelle Crowder of Oklahoma, inspired by a "Caylee's Law" proposal on Facebook, created a petition for a federal version of such a law on the website Change.org. Crowder wants to make it a felony for parents or caretakers not to report a child's death within one hour or a child's disappearance within 24 hours. The petition had attracted 443,707 supporting votes as of late Thursday afternoon.
By then, versions of "Caylee's Law" were afoot in Congress and seven state capitals, including Trenton and Harrisburg.

Knee jerk reaction or common sense law?

In all honesty we need the law, but not for the failed parent...for idiotic jurors who are confused between doubt and confusion.
At least then someone will still go to jail.
Failing to report the death or disappearance of a child would become a felony under a bill passed by the Assembly today.
The bill (A4297), called “Caylee’s Law,” was inspired by the death of Caylee Anthony, a Florida case that made national headlines. Caylee was missing for 31 days before her grandmother reported it. Her mother, Casey, was found not guilty of her murder.
It passed 69-0 and is scheduled for a Senate vote later today.
