DCF: Terri Schiavo Not Abused, Exploited

ABC/AP ^ | 4.16.05

Only 89 complaints? Heck thats not a pattern. Nothing to see. Move on to the next feeding tube!

[chadwimc]

Here come the conspiracy accusations that the whole state of Florida is "in on it"...

[Ken522]

The fix is in ... nothing to see here folks, move along ...

Recall that Greer first rejected attempts by Florida media to review the reports but said at the time that Michael Schiavo could review the reports. Greer, Felos and Schiavo sanitized the reports, why would they indicate anything other than that no abuse occurred?

[oolatec]

She was abused the moment the courts decided to remove her feeding tube. And she will be exploited by the DNC for the 2006/2008 elections. Dean admitted it.

[the invisib1e hand]

well, maybe she wasn't, and all those complaints were just people using DCF as a weapon, as has been known to happen.

On the other hand, if there had be abuse, and DCF did nothing to stop it -- as 89 complaints would indicate -- are they gonna admit it? I doubt it.

[k2blader]

I guess if we were to call Greer-backers Nazi-like, that would also be "abuse."

[Howlin]

And it only took until post 5.

[mware]

If I am not mistaken Greer ordered summaries of the reports to be released not that actual reports.

[the invisib1e hand]

well, if you knew anything about pinellas county, you'd understand that travesties tend to occur at higher frequencies in blatanly corrupt locales.

At the very least, it's an unwitting conspiracy of fools. Might be more than that, too.

[ambrose]

There is sort of circular logic to all of this. Allege abuse. Demand investigation. If investigation reveal abuse, then the charges are proven. If investigation reveals no abuse, then it proves that there is even a wider conspiracy, demanding a further investigation.

[AntiGuv]

What ridiculous nonsense.

[Howlin]

Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that all we were hearing is "Send in DCF?"

Are they out of "favor" now?

As somebody else said to me today, "I'll bet no one has mentioned the fact that it was the Schindlers who did not cooperate with DCF. And remember the "fact" that Michael never allowed DCF access to Terri? That is debunked by the DCF reports as well. "

[calex59]

Why do you bother? It doesn't matter what comes to light, the conspiracy people will turn it around and make it fit their theory or theories. It is a waste of time and effort.

[GVnana]

according to documents released by Florida's Department of Children and Families. The agency investigated 89 complaints dating back to 2001 The agency released the records Friday under court order.

Here we go again. The MSM isn't telling us that is just the same agency playing CYA games.

I'm waiting for the autopsy report.
