ORLANDO, Fla. -- The state attorney's office filed official charges against the mother of a missing Orlando girl Tuesday as a search for her missing daughter continues.
Charges of felony child neglect and making a false report to law enforcement authorities were filed against the Casey Anthony, 22, in connection with the disappearance of her daughter Caylee, 2, Local 6 reported.
The false information concerned the date and location where Casey Anthony alleged that she saw the child, Caylee Anthony.
The charges come after Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, said immunity is a "moot point," in the case, Local 6's Jessica Sanchez said.
Baez said earlier there were informal discussions but nothing was put on paper and no offers were made.
"I was contacted and we spoke about it but there was not formal letter offered or sent," Baez said.
Child's Grandmother Cancels Meeting
Meanwhile, Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, canceled a scheduled meeting Tuesday with her daughter at the Orange County Jail. A reason for the cancellation was not known.
Cindy and husband, George Anthony, met with investigators Monday concerning the search for Caylee.
"It was a meeting at our request just to touch base with them and see where we are all at," Cindy Anthony said.
No information was released about the private meeting but detectives continue to deny the existence of a mysterious baby sitter who Casey Anthony has claimed was last with her daughter.
Also, DNA results concerning a mysterious stain and hair samples from Casey Anthony's car are due any day this week, Local 6 has learned.
Mom May Be Back In Court
Casey Anthony may be back in court in the next 24 hours.
Local 6 has learned that the defense could ask for a hearing where prosecutors would be forced to reveal the evidence they've gathered against Casey Anthony.
A national search for the child continues.

You know what I have noticed, is that no Amber Alert has ever been issued for this child. Makes you wonder what the police know that they aren't telling us
