Parents of Terri Schindler-Schiavo Told to Pay to See Their Daughter
Clearwater, FL May 7, 2004: In yet another bizarre twist of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo case, the Schindler family was informed that they must now pay a fee for “security” each time that they want to visit their daughter.
On Wednesday, May 5, 2004, Deborah Bushnell of Dunedin, an attorney representing Michael Schiavo, faxed a letter to attorneys representing the parents of Terri Schindler-Schiavo.
In her communication, Ms. Bushnell recommended that Ms. Schiavo's parents could be permitted to visit their disabled daughter if they would agree to hire an off-duty police person to accompany them. This comes after attorney Patricia Anderson, who represents Ms. Schiavo's parents, filed a Writ of Quo Warranto, demanding that Mr. Schiavo demonstrate what authority he has to deny his wife visits from her immediate family. Should the Schindlers fail to pay, they would be denied visitation rights.
Ms. Schiavo currently has an off-duty police person, paid for by Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, assigned to her on a 24 hour a day basis. Additionally, the Schindlers have reported that, during their visits, nursing staff frequently enter their daughter's room.
Ms. Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, have not been permitted to visit her since March 29, 2004 (39 days), when attorney George Felos of Dunedin issued a press release stating that suspicious marks were found on her arm. A toxicology study conducted on Ms. Schiavo concluded that no unauthorized chemicals were found in her system. Ms. Schiavo's parents, along with her siblings, had attempted to visit her the following day at Park Place Assisted Living and were turned away by nursing staff in compliance with "Mr. Schiavo's orders".
Statement of Attorney Patricia Anderson:
By recommending that the financially-strapped Schindlers may only visit Terri if they pay yet another off-duty police person to accompany them, is an effort to inhibit them from freely seeing their own daughter. A couple of years ago, Michael Schiavo contacted Terri's parents and offered to give the balance of Terri's money over to charity. He and his attorneys used this a talking point for the media - claiming that Michael had no financial interest in Terri's death. What they neglected to mention was that that particular offer was predicated upon the Schindler's agreeing to Terri's dehydration and starvation death.
This latest tactic from Ms. Bushnell is really no different. I will not be surprised if Ms. Bushnell uses this as another talking point with the media in an attempt to make her and her client appear less cruel.
No mother should have to pay an admission fee to see her child on Mother's Day. Perhaps Ms. Bushnell has forgotten how most people spend Mother's Day."
Gotten to this state??? Hello, where have you been during all this??? There is some real concern that Michael was the one who caused her "collapse" in the first place. They had been arguing and her friend had told her not to stay at the house that night with Michael. Others have said she was thinking of leaving him. When she "collapsed", he didn't bother trying to revive her nor did he call 911. He waited a period of time and then called her brother so it was a while before everyone got there and he still couldn't be bothered to render even the most simple aid. Her family called 911. Full body scans, which he tried to suppress, shows old trauma and doctors who saw the x-rays commented "wow someone sure worked that woman over".
You also know full well she was not in this state as she was able to eat on her own but it was MS who insisted on a feeding tube. It was MS who denied her the court recommended treatment. It was MS who has denied her visitors. It is MS who has in every sense of the word caused her to be in this state. Quit playing games and deal with the facts.
He knows more than you do about the law, how it is applied and his duties under it? If there are allegations about the judge, I believe he can be challenged in the state court of appeals. Has he?
Yes.
That is a pretty broad interpretation.
Not really.
Perhaps with my responsibilities to insure my car, I also have the right to drive it across my neighbor's lawn? Just assuming, you know.
You can not assume the right to damage the property of another.
From lack of clear proof and not knowing the details of the Florida code and precedent, I have to presume he knows what he's doing.
But the judge differs. You reckon he just loves Michael and hates Terri (or women, as one poster suggested) and is willing to break the law and precedent to effect that?
Terri's parents want nothing more than to take care of their daughter for the rest of her life, asking nothing from anybody, but just the chance to do that, and provide her with a loving environment and all the care and comfort they can give her for as long as she naturally lives.
And I ask again, without compensation at the time they take over and at all times subsequent? They are willing to execute a binding agreement to that effect?
Michael went out and fell in a pile of buffalo Schmutz. He's been Der Schmutz ever since.
You say that Mr. Shiavo's behavior is in front of a grand jury and after all this time they have not indicted? Or that someone is still trying to pursuade a jury to consider the matter.
And you're willing to drop your objections at the final resolution of the matter, even if it goes against you? Or will you simply assume the courts and grand jurys are corrupt because it is obvious to you that Mr. Shiavo is guilty beyond doubt.
Ok, since you have been active on this issue, please post their statement to that effect.
And perhaps Mr. Shiavo really believes Terri would want to die. That you don't believe him from evidence meaningful to you is worth no more than anyone else's opinion about and view of that same evidence.
I've said all I have to say, and several time and in several ways. It remains my opinion.
