Haleigh Poutre's father is in the running for a recognition of sorts. The article is a collection of stories of "parents" of the year...

Jason Strickland nearly beat his 11-year old stepdaughter, Haleigh Poutre, to death. He and his wife adopted Haleigh when she was five after her mother’s boyfriend was (apparently falsely) accused of molesting the little girl. Massachusetts social workers pressured Allison, Haleigh’s mom, to give her up for adoption, even threatening to take her unborn child from her immediately after birth if she refused. Allison’s sister, Holli Strickland and her husband adopted Haleigh. Six short years later, after DSS workers dismissed a series of complaints about onoging abuse, Haleigh lay in a hospital bed totally dependent on machines in what doctors said was a permanent and irreversible persistent vegetative state, caused by the final beating in a string of ongoing abuse by her adoptive parents...

The Texas Futile Care law is under increased heat thanks to the notoriety of cases made known by efforts like ours.

"Most people don't know this law exists in Texas. It's our dirty little secret," said Lanore Dixon, whose 54-year-old sister, Andrea Clark, died in a Houston hospital this year after her family clashed with hospital officials over whether to keep her alive.

Snip...

Dixon becomes tearful at times talking about her family's battle against the state law. She said she'll work to change it, using the Internet to tell her sister's story and post information about the Legislature.

Such Texas cases attracted heightened attention following the case of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman who died last year after her feeding tube was disconnected.

Critics oppose stop-treatment law

ST PETE TIMES REPORTS TODAY: Judge Crockett Farnell is going to GO AFTER JEB BUSH NOW!

Okay, everyone who didn't believe me when I said that the Judges ran this state owes me an apologee. Now they are going after one of FR's American idols, Jeb Bush.

Crist hasn't picked a DCF successor yet(Farnell targeted her this past week and she resigned). It may be Clay Roberts who spiked the DCF Terri investigation. If appears if ANYONE did anything for Terri, they are getting targeted, even Jebbie! If Clay Roberts becomes DCF chief, that will be his reward for transferring Mitch Turner to Tampa and closing down Terri's DCF investigation.

Okay, so now I need to watch my back again. I'm aware of that.

Okay, so here's part of what's going on with Judge Crockett Farnell. If J. Farnell becomes the bad guy, people will stop calling Judge Greer a murderer.

It's not going to work.

Judge George Greer with the euthanazi's murdered Terri. J. Farnell can take Greer out of the headlines for now, but Greer BELONGS BEHIND BARS.
