My heart goes out to this couple. May they get help.
If this can happen in America without national health care imagine what will happen to people when we have national health care!

Theyre not criminals. Theyve broken no laws. But theyre being held against their will by the State of Texas.This is just Terry Schiavo, the sequel. She wasn't a criminal, and had broken no laws, but she was forced into a death more cruel than the worst criminal on death row can be given because she had become inconvenient to her so-called "husband", Michael.
I lived in FloriDUH at the time of Terry and I hate to see it being replayed here in Texas. Perhaps, if we raise enough h$ll with Gov. Goodhair and the Texas Legislature, WE can do what Foridians could not!!!

I live about an hour away. I wish there was something I could do to help. My parents are closer...
I’m sure this story hitting news will bring forward people willing to help, but if not, any ideas?

I feel like I am not in America,Millions of Americans feel the same way. This is no longer the land of the free.
Because of creeping socialism, there will never be peace on earth until man kind has lost everything. After that, every man will sit under and tend his own vine, and no politician will be able to take it from him ever again. Without the politicians, swords will be turned into plow shares, and man will learn to war no more.

So trouble didn't really start until the state refused an accounting?
Follow the money....

What is it with Texas? Are these the same people that grabbed all those kids from the Mormon compound, and kept them even after it was revealed that the original complaint was from a nutcase crank caller? God help this poor couple.

They might have been confused and in ill health when they went into custody, but their minds seem to have cleared up. However, there is now no way out of the “incompetency” rabbit hole until somebody else speaks up for them. Good on the TV station for getting this far. Wonder how many more are in such rabbit holes?

The state tried to get a temporary restraining order to stop FOX 4 from reporting the Kidds story, saying the couple does not have the authority to consent to an interview and that our report will cause them irreparable harm.
'Scuse ME!!???? Since when, in America, home of the First Amendment, do people NOT have the right to consent to an interview???? This is sheer statism!!!
Judge Weldon Copeland ruled against the state.
Thank God, SOMEBODY has a lick od sense in this mess!!
He said he would welcome a neighbor or family member to serve as a guardian but no one has come forward. The state is the last resort.The last sentence is the money-line. The state is ALWAYS the last resort and it sounds like another case of state "social workers" over reacting without knowing any of the facts. They do the same thing with children.

Bureaucracies can never love. They can only control.
Only people can care for people.
This is why historically “health care” was a function of the work of the body of Christ.
If folks want the state to replace God and His church, this horror story is what you’re going to get.
There are millions of lonely Americans right now who are finding out the hard way what the soulless state will do for them, and to them.

Something is definitely not right here. These poor folks are being “jailed” for their own good and get to pay for it as well. Just wonderful. Older folks can look forward to more of this type of behavior under 0bamacare.
