Haleigh Poutre Almost Victim of Euthanasia, Now Making Good Progress
Life News ^ | September 4, 2006 | Steven Ertelt

Boston, MA (LifeNews.com) -- Haleigh Poutre was the victim of child abuse and was nearly killed via euthanasia when Massachusetts officials gave up on her after she entered a coma. Now Poutre, once termed "brain dead" by doctors, continues to improve and is speaking a few words, her grandmother says.

Sandra Sudyka, the girl's biological grandmother, is no longer allowed to visit her granddaughter and now says she is ready to speak to the media about Poutre's condition.

She told The Republican newspaper that she last saw Poutre on July 18 but indicated she was "doing well."

"She was bright-eyed and smiling. She is always responsive to us," Sudyka explained.

Department of Social Services had asked Sudyka not to talk with reporters about Haleigh, but since they will no longer allow her and Haleigh's biological mother, Allison Avrett, to visit the 12 year-old, she said she's going to talk to the media.

"I decided since they broke the deal, I am going to talk. People should know how well she is doing," Sudyka told the newspaper.

"They don't want people to know how she is doing after they wanted to pull the plug," Sudyka said.

DSS spokeswoman Denise Monteiro declined an interview with The Republican but said that the visiting privileges have been suspended, not terminated.

Haleigh first began speaking in June, her grandmother told the newspaper.

"I was saying to her 'I love you,' and she was trying to say 'love' and it came out as a vibration...'ove,'" Sudyka said.

Sudyka, who is working with an attorney to adopt the girl, said she has said hello, responds to comments and questions, speaks nonverbally and is able to write her name. Haleigh can't walk and is confined to a wheelchair.

Avrett, Poutre's biological mother, lost custody of her daughter after physically abusing her. Poutre was put into a foster home where her adoptive parents also abused her. Her adopted mother committed suicide after abusing Poutre so much she had to be hospitalized.

DSS took Poutre into custody and when she appeared to slip into a coma, the agency asked the state Supreme Court for permission to take her life. That's when Poutre began responding.

Poutre has been receiving physical, speech and occupational therapy since January 26 at Franciscan Hospital for Children in Brighton.

Gov. Mitt Romney appointed a commission to look into how the state failed to properly handle the girl's case.

Their lies will catch up with them someday. Should they need a feeding tube someday and people they wholeheartedly promoted decide to pull it, I wonder how legally dead they'll be feeling? Rod Serling died quite young of cancer. The Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits were fiction but not any more.

Why use gas chambers? Starvation was more cost effective for the nazis. The disabled went first. Hitler's cousin or sister was developmentally disabled. She didn't last very long once the murders started.

Ah, yes, I remember it well. Terri the pirate invaded Tampa in the Gasparilla Parade. For that invasion, she paid w/her life.

For lurkers, media, et al.

Terri Schiavo NEVER HAD HER OWN ATTORNEY. Never, never, never.

a. Michael Schiavo hired death lawyers Felos, Bushnell, ACLU and others. b. Terri's parents the Schindlers hired their attorneys.

TERRI SCHIAVO NEVER EVER HAD AN ATTORNEY. That's as unconstitutional as it gets but she was so violated and lynched as a human being on such a large scale that her lack of representation got lost after all the other violations against her followed. Hundreds of violations. TERRI SCHIAVO WAS LYNCHED BY THE U.S. GOVT.

Mrs. Thatcher has better frontal lobes.

SOMETHING is rotten. No lower-level employee gets to take a tenth as much time off as Michael. The salary probably doesn't mean anything to him anyway. These days MS has money to burn. Murdering Terri was obviously profitable.

Oh, Charlie, this is so sudden. Why didn't you tell me you cared?

It's a new day for Sandra Day (o'connor). I thought she retired to take care of her ailing husband. Naw. That was just the front story.

She's goin' to the chapel where the cross was removed. That's separation of church and church, ya think?

Remember when 14 year old Martin Anderson was murdered at a juvie boot camp? The deputies and the nurse have not been criminally charged with any crime.

Sweet, how the perps got off the hook: Martin's family filed a civil suit and the state of Floriduh is assuming responsibility in the civil suit. That way, the deputies and nurse who committed the felony crime of murder against Martin while in state custody remain free. Martin Anderson remains dead.

That's why we must pray that Michael's heart will change.

Always assuming he hasn't given it to Charlie Crist.

People joke about justice being for sale. Heck, if it were for sale, you could buy some. But no. We have to hope that the gummint will dispense justice and that's a crap shoot. Sometimes the courts reach the right verdict, sometimes not. When they don't, there's nothing anyone can do about it.

>> the state of Floriduh is assuming responsibility in the civil suit.

Civil suit was the only justice for Ronald Goldman (and by extension, Nicole Brown Simpson). OJ was freed by a jury of imbeciles, but in the civil suit, he was found guilty after all and socked with a $33 million judgment.

Let us hasten to have a new day for the rest of the liberal justices. They can all head for the cross-less chapel and cackle to their masters.
