The Keys family, of Burnet, Tex., kneeling, from left, Josie, 14, Gabriel, 10, Chris, the children's father, and Cameron 12, were all taken into custody. Galen Keys, upper left, the children's mother looks on, but was not arrested.The mother insists it was the children's idea: "I am proud of them," said the boys' mother Geilen Keys from Texas, who was not arrested. "They are very mature and they said 'we want to go and offer some water to Terri'."

The family members were attempting to bring Terri Schiavo a cup of water.

The young protester attempted to take a glass of water into the Woodside Hospice for the brain-damaged Terri Schiavo. A federal judge rejected a request from the parents of Schiavo to order her feeding tube reinserted, dealing a blow to attempts by the U.S. Congress and the White House to prolong her life.

No sir not at all. I'd never be that presumptious. Especially when I agree with too many of the people in this thread on other issues.

[Bob J]

Actually, my whole purpose being on this thread is an attempt to be consistent...heheh.

Good Troll hunting freebilly.

[fatima]

Sorry you are so afraid .Cowards always have a plan.

[Humal]

I hope these officers are proud of themselves. As well as the four burly deputies arresting one peaceful protester this afternoon. Their actions reflect on all good law enforcement people.

Sorry you are so afraid .Cowards always have a plan.

I lit a candle for Terry. What have you done?

[fatima]

"Talk of this sort can often be misconstrued as treasonous or seditious so perhaps we should discuss this by Freepmail."I reported myself to the the FBI for wanting to give her water and a kiss on-line.

Thanks for posting the pictures of some of the only people who have guts in this disgusting fiasco.

My 10 year old daughter asked me yesterday if we could go to Terri and give her some water. We couldn't go to the vigil because we live in Colorado, but she has been praying and crying for Terri.

stupid posts go to stupid people I guess

[young_teacher]

What is the current status of Gabriel Keys and the rest of the children?

Where can I find updates concerning them?

[areafiftyone]

They were on Fox and Friends a day or so after they were arrested. I think they had to go to court for their arrest.

You people amaze me. I for one am a LEO and am and do support what they had to do. The kids had a reason to be there and I am all for that. What I am against is the parents using them as a pawn in their attempt to make a statement. The kids were shaking as they were arrested. The parents should have been charged with a crime. In a previous post a "police officer" said that he would have quit or been fired for letting them go. Then he too is a fool. We as police officers have a job to do. Like it or not that is our chosen profession. And like it or not the kids chose to break the law. They were given a chance to leave once they were told they were trespassing and they refused to leave. The officers then had a duty to arrest them. Are you all forgetting that the kids were committing a CRIME? Not to mention that if they were allowed to bring Ms. Schiavo a cup of water what were they going to do with it? She was not going to drink it herself. So they were going to pour it into her mouth. Then we would be charging the kid with murder. You are all on the same bandwagon as the protestors. It was a symbolic gesture, nothing more, nothing less.
