The Florida Department of Children and Families has moved to intervene into the legal battle over the life of Teri Schiavo. Details of the agency involvement in the case were not immediately available.
The DCF involvement came hours after Florida Governor Jeb Bush told reporters that he would seek a means to intervene in this case.
George Felos, who represents Teri's husband Michael, criticized the DCF move, saying it 'reeks of the intervention of politics' in this case and is an affront to the court.
David Gibbs, attorney for Teri's mother and father, countered there were serious allegiations of abuse in the case. The Schlindlers have accused their son-in-law of mistreating his wife, Michael has emphatically denied the accusations.
Speaking at an afternoon news conference in Tallahassee, Gov. Bush said he was exploring options to block the removal of the feeding tube and called his involvement 'a work in progress.'
Bush said he had received tens of thousands of emails and telephone calls from supporters ecouraging him to keep Terri Schiavo alive. The governor said he is working with his legislative staff to see what can be done.
'People with deep faith and big hearts are concerned, as I am about the circusmstances that Ms. Schiavo is in,' the governor continued.
'I want them to know that I will do what I can.'

PING
Be careful what you wish for. These "Keystone Cops" for kids have LOST more foster children than there are boats missing the in Bermuda Triangle.
Pray for her like you never have before.
Michaels attorney thinks it 'reeks of politics'...sounds like something Clinton's attorneys would say!
Oh MY GOD! I truly mean it - my God!
Here we go; down to the wire... work is being done behind the scenes that neither you nor I can imagine. There are so many on this board that are doing as God calls them to do - one step at a time, this battle is being fought by thousands behind the scenes -
And One God who never gives up.
We must fight the two-bit corrupt Judicial Tyrant like Greer, the murderous, greedy Michael Schiavo, and his evil crooked shyster.
This means that the abuse allegiations against Michael are going to get some considerion..and probably foster an indefinite delay
I won't even say what Michael's attorney reeks of:)

Offront to the court????
Spare me!!!!
DCF has an OBLIGATION HERE.
HINO and sicko attorney are an affront to the human race!
Hey, maybe that's the plan. Let these people put Terry in their 'inadvertent' protection program.
Is this the first time DCF has become involved?
Mark Belling (Milwaukee) just brought up a good point. Terri herself was apparantly a devout Catholic. If Church doctrine expressly forbids what's being proposed, then would this not legally be a violation of Terri's first amendment right to freedom of religion?
Prayers for Teri BUMPS!
Prayers that Jeb will be successful!
wow.......what a turn around......just on the last Terri thread someone was calling for a recall of Jeb Bush.....
Sent Jeb a BIG thank you.
I think that what was being argued in the court that Teri's 14th Amendments rights were run right over
How things can change in one afternoon! Tens of thousands of phone calls can do that...
