What does that mean? Does the state take over guardianship, and they appoint whom they want? Could it be someone from Terri's family, or is it more likely to be a government organization or government person? If its a government person/org, how do we know they won't pull a Greer???
Thanks for ansering my questions. I just got home and am trying to get caught up on the lated.
It was great news to see that the session had been moved up and PASSED!
Truly YHVH has worked through many people and made this possible. May YHVH shine upon and bless all of you that have worked so hard and so persistently.
A guardian ad litem is a person appointed by the state to ensure that a guardian represents the best interests of a ward. Guardians ad litem can sometimes be a pain, because their job is to be incredibly nosy about what's going on, but on the other hand that is their job.
What is supposed to happen in a case like Terri's is that if someone like the parents doesn't think the guardian is acting properly, they should tell the guardian ad litem who in turn has full legal standing to challenge the guardian. Indeed, the guardian ad litem is often the only person with legal standing to file actions against the guardian, so by eliminating Terri's GAL before Felos was able to run roughshot over Terri's interests with nobody being allowed to challenge it.
