Only 89 complaints? Heck thats not a pattern. Nothing to see. Move on to the next feeding tube!
Here come the conspiracy accusations that the whole state of Florida is "in on it"...
The fix is in ... nothing to see here folks, move along ...
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.
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.
Working for the Dean team as usual.
So if they released the complaints, is the record available? It would be nice to see it firsthand and not have to rely on the notoriously slanted media to tell us what it says.
I'd say those last 13 days of her life were abusive. But that's just me--I might be crazy thinking that denial of hydration and nutrition are abusive.
Funny....then why were they ready to take custody of Terri in the end?
How about being sent to a hospice when you are not dying? Then being deprived of therapy or stimulation for 5 years?
F.U.!

What is the meaning of well cared for?
I heard,a few weeks back that Terri's 'loving'husband had refused to tell her parents where she will be buried,even though the courts told him that he had to tell her parents.Todate, I have heard anything more. Does anybody know? Thanks.
...and your point is?!...besides beating on a dead horse!
The bone scan showing the fractures was taken in '91, only about a year after Terri's collapse.
And, boy, no one - certainly not Fla.'s DCF - wants to address that bone scan. Everyone on M.S.'s side just skips around it.
We can be sure the fanatics on these boards will conclude that the state investigators must be in bed with Judge Greer and Terri's husband.
Dear _________:
Thank you for contacting me to express your opposition to the removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube.
As you know, Terri passed away on March 31, 13 days after her feeding tube was disconnected. My thoughts and prayers are with her family as they grieve over her loss.
What made this situation difficult are the many unresolved questions.
For instance, what were Terri's wishes? She never prepared a living will to express definitively what her wishes were. So we are left with conflicting accounts of what course of action she would have wanted.
Some say this should be a family issue. However, we have a family that disagreed on the fate of Terri Schiavo's life. While her husband wanted to remove her feeding tube, her parents were willing to do everything it took medically, emotionally and financially to save the live of their child.
We have some doctors saying that she would not have recovered. Yet we also have other Neurologists saying that with the proper medical care, there is a chance that she could have improved considerably.
Let us be clear. Terri was not on life support, she was not brain-dead, and no heroic measures were needed to keep her alive; she simply had the assistance of a feeding tube for food and water.
Since these crucial questions remain disputed, I believe the responsible course is to err on the side of life.
After state court appeals were exhausted, a congressional effort was made to provide a final opportunity for her parents' concerns to be heard. On March 21, Congress passed a bill that established narrow Federal jurisdiction for this particular case. The law allowed Terri's parents to file a lawsuit in Federal court on behalf of their daughter for a violation of any right under the U.S. Constitution or laws relating to "the withholding of food, fluids or medical treatment necessary to sustain her life."
I voted for this legislation.
One of the primary duties of the Federal government and members of Congress is to uphold and defend the Constitution and the individual rights it sets forth. Congress acted to allow that every possible legal process has been exhausted to ensure that Terri Schiavo's Federal rights have been properly defended. One of those rights is the right to life. The Fourteenth Amendment establishes that "no State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, and property, without due process of law." Every day, in cases where the action of the state will result in the death of an individual, that individual is provided the opportunity to have their case heard in both the state and Federal court systems.[Here he speaks of deathrow inmates' right to Habeas Corpus]
I and many of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle believed Terri Schiavo should have been afforded this same opportunity.
Although Terri's parents were able to appeal to the Federal courts, they were not able to win an injunction to have the feeding tube reinserted. She ultimately starved to death.
I want you to know that I am very concerned about the road we are traveling down when it come to issues of life, and the Schiavo case highlights those concerns. That is why I will continue to work in Congress to ensure that even the most vulnerable in our society are afforded the most basic constitutional protection - the right to life.
Sincerely,
