URGENT - ACTION NEEDED AT ONCE While many have heard that Terri Schiavo's feeding tube has been re-inserted, her life is in eminent danger. Michael Schiavo is still her legal guardian. The would-be murderer is responsible for guarding his own victim! In addition when Terri was moved from hospice, he immediately blocked visitation rights at the hospital for her parents, siblings and family priest - the only source of Terri's comfort, love and joy. An emergency motion ordered visitation restored for the family but it was not received in the attorney's offices until 5:15PM today. By the time the family was able to get down to the hospital, her husband had removed her from the hospital and taken to an "undisclosed location" - we are told perhaps back to hospice.
In any case, the family has not been informed - they do not know her medical condition or whether the feeding tube has been reinstated or not. An IV was inserted at approximately 9:30 last night. This is a woman starved for 7 days with no food or water yet Michael has the audacity to remove her from the hospital care!
It is an outrage that Michael Schiavo and his attorney feel they can spit in the face of the governor, the Fl House and Senate - and trample Terri's rights with absolutely no regard for her health, happines or wishes.
Complaints have been filed through the Department of Health and Human Services yet nothing is being done to protect Terri from physical harm or to assure her rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Please take a moment and file your complaint with the Office of Civil Rights. Click here for the form: Discrimination Complaint Form or go to: http://hhs.gov/ocr/discrimhowtofile.html You can also file your complaint by email at OCRcomplaint@hhs.gov or call the District Office in Atlanta: Roosevelt Freeman, 404 562-7886. Tell them to immediately act and remove her care/custody from Michael.
In addition, please contact your US Congressman and ask him to investigate why the Department of Justice is not protecting Terri's civil rights as a disabled American and further request that the Department of Health and Human Services Civil Rights Office act at once to protect her.
Go to our website to read the formal letters of complaint filed by Children of God for Life, the family and medical personnel through Delegate Robert Marshall with Attorney General Ashcroft, the House Judiciary Committee and President Bush, asking for immediate federal intervention. You should read the facts to help explain the problem to your Congressmen. www.cogforlife.org/schiavo.htm
We will keep the site updated daily with new developments until Terri is safe and her rights guaranteed by the US Constitution and the State of Florida are upheld! God bless, Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director Children of God for LIfe
theres the truth cuz theres nothing you can do..Its in Gods hands,
do you all really believe that the hubby spent his future on the past for 10 years if he didnt love her??
He wants her dead, even if he has to do it himself. Then he wants the body burned without an autopsy.
If she ever talks, he's toast.
I believe he tried to kill her, and now he's terrified she may some day tell about it.
I really fear for the poor girl. The man is insane !!!!
He has had 10 yrs to do ...without the spot lite...why the hoopla now?
*speechless*
There's probable cause for. from another thread.
" Are you being hyperbolic? None of the video I saw showed that level of motor skill.
No. I an absolutly positive. The comm won't be in writing though, it'll be an audible and it would take someone like that speech therapist from the Chicago area to do it. I'm not sure how well she see's but her awareness of sound and touch is excellent. Apparently she never had a speech therapist. She can only vocalize sounds on an exhale.
The short
In PVS, there is no awareness, so affect(emotion) is inappropriate. Response to stimulation is not repeatable, their is no recognizable pattern to stimulation/response. ect. There's even a doc that did an evaluation, with a balloon. He was caught making a comment on tape "about following it a little bit", but is reported he later denied any response at all in court. The evaluation was bogus. She was trying her hardest(a display of understanding and effort) and he saw that(or didn't give a damn), so instead of keeping up with her, he nonchalantly huried it up. She recognized and reached out for Dad.(audio) She has recall, awareness and a lot of other things. I was expecting something tricky. She has more than most democrats.
As many appropriate med folks as possible should be given this media stuff, and give their opinions whether the woman is in a PVS. Then present the pile, start in small packs to get it going, to the feds and Ashcroft's office. Include the appropriate stuff from the Terrisfight.org for at least:
It's inconcievable that in any gathering of such docs, that such agreement on an erroneous observation could be reached, unless they were directed to come to certain conclutions. Greer commented that it was all high quality. It was rubbish.

It should also be sent to the appropriate states where they are licenced to practice medicine. I'm sure all of them and the feds have fraud satutes.
If that fat a*s r. king could get the benefit of a fed civil rights violation, this poor woman should. They showed him getting... Well have the media show the flicks with appropriate neuologists and speech therapists. Play the audio where she recognizes and calls her Dad.
Are you Terri's "husband?" You sound like you lust after her death. That money sure sounds yummy, doesn't it?
I never saw that! did it really happen? or was it a Dahhhh??
Im really not trying to be mean here, but is this more important than the fight GW is fighting?..last week some folks wanted to brand Jeb over this stuff...like the bushes are responsible for something that happened before they even reported for work
Oh, you must be new to these Terri threads....
A state protection agency for disabled persons on Wednesday was planning to launch an investigation into alleged spousal abuse against Terri Schiavo, the severely brain damaged woman whose feeding tube was reinserted this week after intervention by the Florida Legislature and Gov. Jeb Bush.
ya thats it......or could it be the point about it isnt in our hands?
Because they'd have access to evidence he'd rather they not have--probably for good reason.
Well, the first thing a GAL would be able to do is FIRE FELOS. Wait a minute...
Was Felos paid by Michael before he was paid by Terri? Isn't that in and of itself a major conflict of interest?
