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.

Leslee Unruh is someone you should know. She has received harassing and threatening calls and e-mails at all times of the day and night. She has had clothes hangers placed in her mailbox with eggs splattered across her home. Her chiropractor husband has found dead animals deposited on his business property.
Joshua Heldreth is also someone you should know. He was arrested for simply bringing a cup of water to a facility he was not permitted to enter. This 10 year old was found guilty in court and ordered to perform 25 hours of community service and write an apology.

Terri after the attack and before bioethicking.
With the credo that an informed person is an empowered person, a grassroots non-profit group of volunteers has organized to create the Partnership for Medical Ethics Reform to preserve life, privacy and access to appropriate health care.
A new website, www.forethics.com debuts this week under the guidance and leadership of a coalition of volunteers from the healthcare profession, disability rights communities, elder-care communities and human rights advocates, dedicated to preserving individuals rights to receive wanted and necessary medical care.

I've been reading a great deal lately about a husband getting his wife terminated, a wife trying to do the same to her husband, and a son who sold off his dad's stuff even before he was done dehydrating.
You didn't hear about those cases? Really? Well let me tell you a little bit about them.
One woman's unofficial "living will"

Crist has not made one statement about the child's beating even though it was Law Enforcement who took this child's life. LE should not be beating any child. Jeb is handling the aftermath of Martin's death for Crist.
Funny how Jeb is stepping over into another department because it's politically expedient for him to cover for Crist's Sheriffs, but Jeb wouldn't step on any toes in Terri's case.
ANYHOO, Michael Baden was up there by the altar with the minister and others for Martin Anderson's tribute. The Church Without Walls donated $15,000 to Martin's mother.
Martin Anderson (RIP) is another individual with a medical condition who was abused until dead by the State of Florida. Michael Baden said at the event something like this: I have never seen anybody in New York State die in custody who has a Sickle Cell trait. He was talking about hundreds of people.
If Jeb wasn't handling this Martin Anderson investigation for Charlie Crist, Crist's chances of being governor would be over. The Man From Glad's underlings killed Martin Anderson. Martin was a black child who joyrided with his grandma's car and paid for it with his life.
Tom Gallagher for Governor should make this a campaign issue and maybe sometime he will.
Somethin's wrong with Florida, y'all. The culture of death has a strong foothold here.

I would not have been the one selling him life insurance, that is for sure.
Sounds like another case of SIDS Sudden Instant Death Syndrome.
"On the rooftops around Woodside Hospice." (Definitely not Ole St. Nick in the new amerika.)
Notice in the news that any time you hear the word "showdown" from the govt-media complex, they started using that term at Terri's Vigil.
The term showdown was used recently by the govt-media complex.
IMO, Fox News is not the network of choice that the administration interviews with, but Fox and the administration have a special relationship re: message distribution for the masses. If anyone is thinking Jeb in '08 - think again. He's embedded with Fox News already. It's wrong.
Hahaha! Nah, they have money to waste. Tom Cruise bought their very own ultrasound machine. I'll give him credit for his plans to donate the machine after they're done with it.
I was going to say that it seems a little obsessive to go out and purchase your own machine, then I remembered who we're dealing with 8^}
Or, if you were Ron Brown, sayonara.
Do people really want Hillary in the white house because then the arkancides will start up again.
I'm against any Clintons or Bushes running for president.
There are more similarities than differences betwixt the 2 clans.
The article points out what we see all the time at protest rallies. Conservatives vs liberals: who is more likely to turn vicious on the opposing side? Conservatives also clean up their trash before they leave.
Roe is a fraud. Jane McCorvey admitted that she lied throughout the proceedings. Right then and there, Roe should have been wiped off the books.
I hope the Unruhs have security cameras set up to catch the people doing it, and if LE won't prosecute them, they can sue for civil damages. As for Joshua, he will harbor negative feelings for cops for many years. Joshua's heart and soul were in the right place, but his parents shouldn't have let him do it.
"Milosevic also was waiting for a court decision on his request to subpoena former US President Bill Clinton as a witness."
"His death comes less than a week after the star witness in his trial, former Croatian Serb leader Milan Babic, was found dead in the same prison."
I wondered about his death.
Oh boy, that's telling them! I have something similar in mind for my living will, and last will and testament. I think I wouldn't be so harsh sounding, but it would have the same intent. Too bad I didn't document all the "loans" I've given. It probably adds up into the thousands, and this is from a person who doesn't have much.
I agree that this is a powerful campaign issue. Jeb obviously caught what his brother has. This issue should not be covered up, and just because Jeb is a lame duck, he still has a job to do. That job is to uphold the law, and protect the citizens he is responsible for. I hope he knows his political career is DOA, like poor Martin. Crist is a political hack without a true calling for justice.
Like I said before, I'm not up on the upcoming elections in Florida, but Gallagher should make this an issue. Plenty of folks have lost family and friends in custody, but never could prove if it was abuse. This young man's beating was taped, and bless the person who risked his/her neck getting it out to the public.
Because the state definitely has a strong affinity for killing people, even if people turn out in droves for Gallagher, he still might not win. Florida also has a reputation for corruption as well.
I remember being in France when a news flash came out, showing the many grieving widows and the rows of graves of the poor Islamists. The camera panned the makeshift cemetary and the graves, all with crosses. Oops.
The next time the clip was shown, that scene was missing.
Jeb is going to be working for Fox news? It's funny because I replied to a post above this one that any chance Jeb had of further political ambitions, was over. Maybe it's wrong, but it's just business as usual. I figured he was going to work for daddy's oil company.
Showdown. Like Waco was a showdown? The whole thing remains disgusting.
"His death comes less than a week after the star witness in his trial, former Croatian Serb leader Milan Babic, was found dead in the same prison."
Oh just damn, more Arkancides???!!!
"found dead in the same prison."
Sounds more like a hospice to me.
