Please take notice that on or about February 18,2005 and February 21,2005, DCF received reports of abuse, neglect or exploitation involving allegations related to Theresa marie Schiavo.
Such reports and written attachment thereto raise approximately 30 detailed allegations of abuse, neglect or exploitation in a 34 page document received by the DCF hotline on February 18, 2005 and February 21,2005 and forwarded to DCF Suncoast Region Office, whereupon an investigation has been commenced.
14.a. Termination of the life of Theresa Marie Schiavo would hamper the investigation into abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation allegations, many of which have previously gone on uninvestigated by the governmental agency charged to conduct such investigations, i.e. DCF.
b. Termination of the life of Theresa Marie Schiavo would prevent investigation into her surroundings and circumstances by creating a mootness under the Adult Protection Statute and thus divest DCF of its jurisdiction to detect, correct and protect vulnerable adults from abuse, neglect and/or exploitation.
Failure to file proper guardianship plan or report and the impact upon the health of the ward.
Current confinement issues at the ward’s residence
Failure to educate using certain therapies in violation of guardianship
Denial f access to legal counsel on different occasions is a supervision issue never previously investigated and goes directly to health decisions.
Lack of communications/visitation is a maintenance of mental health and supervision issue.
Denial of legal notice to ward or ward’s own counsel
Experimental procedures performed without proper medical and legal procedures observed.
Lack of manipulation of the ward’s arms causing severe contractures.
Additionally, there are allegations that CCF has investigated that have been closed as unfounded. While DCF stands by its past decisions, it nevertheless reserves its rights to review any updated or relevant information in the full fair and final determination of this matter given the totality of the circumstances.
The courts determination that it has reviewed some or all of these facts does not relieve DCF from discharging its investigative duties.
When and investigatin of abuse, neglect or abandonment is commenced, the victim’s legal counsel is entitled to a copy of the abuse report pursuant to …
Additionally, in the event that adult protective services are necessary, legal counsel must be appointed.
Given the nature of this proceeding, DCF moves this court to appoint legal counsel for Theresa Marie Schiavo in the interest of justice and in fulfillment of statutory references.
