HOLYOKE, Mass. -- Haleigh Poutre's birth mother is expected to file a court motion seeking more of a say in her daughter's medical care.
Allison Avrett plans to appear in Holyoke Juvenile Court on Wednesday.
Haleigh, 12, has been hospitalized since police say her adoptive mother and stepfather severely beat her in September.
About a week after taking custody of the Westfield girl in September, the Department of Social Services sought permission to remove her from life support.

Fema the cat's more work than I bargained for.
I was going to adopt a Karina puppy from a litter, but by the time I was able to get their, they were gone.
Open government laws break down that wall of government secrecy so that everybody knows whats going on says Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
Well, presumably. Thats the intent of open government laws but government has been going to extreme lengths to stymie the public and press from learning information about governmental operations that the public has a right and need to know.

Terri after the attack and before bioethicking.
It makes bioethicking look like a descending Tsunami of enforced euthanasia.This powerful message comes from a neurologist who sees the profession evolving into a death facilitation role.
A sampling....
When I began the practice of neurology, a quarter of a century ago, I often saw children with Downs syndrome. Now, there are none. As the only neurologist who sees children in a 300 mile radius of a very rapidly growing metropolitan area, Ive not seen a single case in 2 years. Genetic testing has ensured that virtually all Downs children are aborted during pregnancy, despite the fact that many children with Downs syndrome have normal intelligence. Pro-life obstetricians have largely disappeared from US medicine. With the exception of the handful of Obstetricians and Gynecologists physicians in the American Association of Pro Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, they are now in other walks of life. They left the practice a long time ago.

Zhao Gongmin, a Chinese Academy of Social Sciences researcher, claims that public opinion strongly supports the practice, with supposed surveys showing as much as 80 percent support. I think it is only a matter of time for euthanasia to become legal, Zhao said, according to a Shanghai Daily report. Therefore, we should allow some experiments on the local level for the purpose of accumulating experience.

Ah, forgot about the Seventh Day Adventist link. I remember MSM scurrying about like the rats they are, branding them with all kinds of vile charges. Also, remember the surviving members, and how they were prevented from speaking out? They were threatened with criminal charges. IIRC, some were jailed.
Nope, no questions. Well maybe one more: why the information coming out about Scientology hasn't triggered public questioning about untimely deaths and suicides? I know the answer. Money.
Okay. Did the Clearwater PD ever bother issuing an apology for mocking Terri? Of course not. They're just as corrupt as their brothers in Pinellas Park. Rice hiring MS was just a case of nepotism. I honestly don't think he had enough experience in nursing to get hired for that particular position. That would go for any applicant, not just him. I wonder how many "accidents" had to be explained away due to negligence?
Right now, I'm paying attention to the CA governor's race. Some dem named Westly has already started with the commercials. Pro choice, pro enviroment(will make sure we can't drill off the coast for oil-nitwit), just the usual hardcore dem we can't seem to get rid of here. Good luck with your state.
Hahaha, yeah look how fast we were able to get John effn' Kerry's military records. Come on, those records will stay buried, unless there is a disgruntled employee willing to leak them to the Smoking Gun.
I've heard of policies where employees will donate their vacation time to a co-worker in need. It's cool, and a completely generous thing to do. I don't know if you could say that MS took his honeymoon on the taxpayer's dime, because someone would have used that particular day themself. He sure did miss a lot of work though. Good thing he has a sympathetic employer./s
Personally, I think Mikey got the heads up that the policies in question were going to be implemented, and so he and Jodi got married before that happened. They all know that they're under the microscope for their parts in Terri's murder. They can't afford to provide any info. Sooner or later, even a Kennedy can be arrested/indicted.
The moonbatologists play by liberal rules -- glitz and intimidation. They are power-trippers. They mouth all the right buzzwords. They identify with the "in" cliques. This is all 100% politically correct, so the moonbats get a pass from the liberal media.
Incidentally, since we are discussing Haleigh's mistreatment at the hands of the DSS, it was a social worker's unproven accusations of child abuse levelled at David Koresh (if I remember rightly) that eventually escalated into the Waco holocaust.
They do the same thing to devout Christian homeschoolers. They don't want their children indoctrinated by the state schools, therefore they are kooks and weirdos. They make the state uncomfortable. Same with folks like the Branch Davidians, but they paid with their lives. Some parents pay by losing their kids.
I've read about some of the tactics that Scientology uses, such as physical intimidation, expensive lawsuits, and extortion. They're more like an organized crime family than a religion. Imo after reading that body count link, someone needs to grow some stones and investigate them. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I sincerely hope that Katie Holmes and her baby come through this experience unscathed.
You are awarded both ears and the tail, the brass ring and three red stars on your report card
I imagine Katie Holmes and her baby are utterly safe from the moonbatologist mafia -- she's too high-profile to mess with. Whether she is sane to live with a ding-dong moonbat is another matter.
Yes, and Katie's daddy is an attorney. I'm sure he's quietly working behind the scenes. Her family must have been horrified at Tom's performance on the Oprah Winfrey show. The man has lost it. How about those 3 weeks when she disappeared? I've been trying to keep up with all the information coming in, but I wonder if they brainwashed her?
I hope they'll be safe. I've read about the weird views of childbirth that those moonbats have, and it kind of concerns me. Sometimes you have to let loose with a screaming warwhoop to finish that "last good push". They would prefer that you achieve this with your mouth shut!?!
I was going to award you twelve EXTRA BONUS chances to win $10 million in the Publishers' Clearing House Sweepstakes, but I figured -- hey, you got enough honors for one evening.
My understanding is that before those three missing weeks, Katie spoke a good deal about being virginal. I guess she "lost it" too.
I hadn't seen any of them. How do we download these things so that they don't "disappear"?
I have no idea. If you figure out a way, save this one too. It supports Carla.
Oh you're right, she did mention virginity. So did Britney Spears. Oy Vey!
There are rumors that Tom Cruise is gay. Maybe Katie is still technically a virgin. Lots of technology out there.
