Parents ask judge to let Schiavo divorce husband/Jacksonville
The Florida Times Union ^ | 3/1/05 | PAUL PINKHAM

A Jacksonville victim rights group and a state legislator urged Gov. Jeb Bush on Monday to launch a criminal probe into events that put Terri Schiavo in the hospital with severe brain damage 15 years ago.

Justice Coalition founder Ted Hires also asked the state Department of Children & Families to take Schiavo into protective custody and Florida's attorney general to initiate a civil rights investigation into her treatment and efforts by her husband to have the feeding tube that keeps her alive removed. . . .

Her parents said they filed the divorce proceedings because of Michael Schiavo's "total disregard for Terri as his wife." ....

Thank you for your posts that document Terri's abilities and the fact that she is, indeed, responsive.

And for posting Father Frank Pavone's account of his visit with her as a separate thread -- http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1350777/posts

A veil of ignorance and deceit has covered Terri. May it be removed, and I hope how soon.

Jax & Jax media:

All of us at that press conference on 2/28, including all the media there, heard Bob Schindler tell the story (post #31) of his latest visit with a wonderfully responsive Terri. I heard laughs from the crowd as he talked about teasing Terri, and her laughing. He confirmed as an eyewitness what I read on the internet, printed out, and gave out to some in the crowd.

But no one asked for clarification ("But wait, I thought she was not responsive, what do you mean?") or called him a liar. There were appreciative chuckles at his story, so I know people heard it, but it's as if the necessary thoughts never followed: "How wonderful that she can hear him! What a sweet relationship they have! But wait, he's saying she's responsive?"

The story was never ever mentioned in any of the media coverage that night, much less its implications on how we should be treating Terri.

Mary Schindler talked about how Terri's guardian does not allow her out in her wheelchair (its been broken -- for how long?), and that she has not had a swallowing test since 1992.

Is that true? Don't you wonder? So why didn't anyone out of all the media, all the crowd there ask? I should have.

I'd say the media is missing the bigger stories here.

Bump this back into our consciences as we are days away from what a local physician I spoke to bluntly called "murder".
