This seems very strange. Considering the source I am not sure we have all the facts.
I am sceptical of WND myself, but have to wonder, what fact would change the general tenor of this story? That teh written directive (feed me) was a forgery? That everybody in the blood family says "starve her?" That the doctors are hedging, and the lady is really terminal?
Not if Gaddy has gone to a judge who granted her guardianship. It sounds like that happened here.
Well, perhaps ... I lived in B'ham for more than a decade; I think I know Ken Mullinax of this story and if it's him, there is no question in my mind that the family's report on this is accurate. If they want Aunt Mae, the Georgia Dept. of Human Services should be on this like a hen on a Junebug, for gross abuse of the Aunt by the niece. Terri Sciavo was a very visible case but not an exception by any means. Time to crush the euthanasia train and the misuse of Hospice care, IMMEDIATELY!

But, this is happening 15 minutes away from my house. I was torn between doing something you'd have to bail me out for (assuming they'd even set bail LOL!), and mass e-mailing every damned guvmint slug in the state. I was in the process of harvesting addresses when I popped in to post this all over the place. Glad there's been such outrage and positive action by my fellow Freepers down here. Let's keep it going.
Here's a suggestion for Mr. Mullinax: press criminal charges against Beth Gaddy and at the same time sue the crap out of her.
I don't understand why you think there's something missing here. The g/daughter has guardianship now. But it sounds like it was obtained in a sneaky way.
Is there another source for this beyond WND? They're not exactly a trustworthy source. Something is missing from this story. Something big.
But if it is truly as written... the thing that has got to change is the law that makes guardianship so impermeable.
Sounds to me like granddaughter is tired of caring for Granny.
I think you missed this part, or you just didn't want to read it!
Maybe someone should check other details of the g/mas will etc. Maybe g/daughter is named there too.

It was only an excerpt when I posted. It's become a full post since that time. I'm still digesting what is now shown.
The problem is many judges are stupid ~ just go in and lie to one of them on Friday (motions day in many jurisdictions) and they'll give you whatever kind of order you say you need ~ good until Monday morning!
In the meantime you may have a license to kill, loot, maim and mope.
