I think -- I may be wrong, but I think -- that the DCF can move without Greer's approval. perhaps it's pro forma to give a judge the chance do undo an earlier ruling, but I don't think the government agency can be stymied by that judge's refusal to do so.

I agree with you. If an unjust Judge can stop the DCF, then we are all in trouble.


Sekulow just said the DCF has the authority.

415.101 Adult Protective Services Act; legislative intent.--

(1) Sections 415.101-415.113 may be cited as the "Adult Protective Services Act."

(2) The Legislature recognizes that there are many persons in this state who, because of age or disability, are in need of protective services. Such services should allow such an individual the same rights as other citizens and, at the same time, protect the individual from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. It is the intent of the Legislature to provide for the detection and correction of abuse, neglect, and exploitation through social services and criminal investigations and to establish a program of protective services for all disabled adults or elderly persons in need of them. It is intended that the mandatory reporting of such cases will cause the protective services of the state to be brought to bear in an effort to prevent further abuse, neglect, and exploitation of disabled adults or elderly persons. In taking this action, the Legislature intends to place the fewest possible restrictions on personal liberty and the exercise of constitutional rights, consistent with due process and protection from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Further, the Legislature intends to encourage the constructive involvement of families in the care and protection of disabled adults or elderly persons.

Eventually, when Terri is safe, I'd like to see an auditor pay a visit to Michael, Felos and Greer.

The way I read the law you're correct. They can get her now and should do so immediately IMO.
