You are sooo right!

But Mikey Schiavo hasn't made much out of this deal anyway, except he exposed his intentions even more. It is ironic, you must be noticing, that this killer gets away with a state sponsored murder and still sees himself as a victim. I do wonder how his family is doing and wifey wondering when or if he pulls the plug on her one day.

Thankfully by great contrast the Schindlers are able to pull together what limited funds they can find to courageously help others facing the same fate their daughter Terri faced. And thankfully their perseverance shows some good result as we fight this pernicious euthanasia effort.

Haleigh Poutre...

............................

During debate last week on legislation pertaining to the abuse and neglect of children, which is intended to strengthen the Commonwealth's oversight of children under the charge of the State, an amendment written by Sen. Scott Brown, R-Wrentham, was passed unanimously. The amendment protects victims from those who have been charged with their abuse or neglect.

Brown filed “Haleigh’s Amendment” in response to the tragedy of the Haleigh Poutre case in Westfield in 2005. Haleigh had been hospitalized as the result of alleged abuse at the hands of her adoptive mother and stepfather who had burned and beaten her into a coma with a baseball bat. While on life support, Haleigh’s stepfather attempted to obtain guardianship of her even though he was suspected of the abuse.

This amendment would prohibit an individual from being appointed a guardian or medical proxy if they have been charged with assault and battery, or neglect of the incapacitated child. In this case, the amendment would have removed any ambiguity as soon as the stepfather was charged.

Currently, the court may appoint a guardian for a person who is unable to make or communicate informed decisions due to physical incapacity or illness.
