I e-mailed them as soon as I heard they might get involved. I wonder if we aren't taking the wrong approach here though. Has any one considered that this is a "hate crime" against the disabled? If it were covered as such, maybe some of the elderly and disabled would jump in and help us out.

That is why I contacted them. She is disabled. Who is to say that this situation can't happen to the disabled elderly. There needs to be a net for any legal guardian when questions arise. I have to tell you though that, I am having to remind myself who is in charge here. Our faith is really being tested. Terri overcomes one obstacle and another rears it's head. Now the ACLU involved. We need to continue to pray for the endurance to fight for her because I don't know about yall but I'm getting tired.

"Has any one considered that this is a "hate crime" against the disabled? If it were covered as such, maybe some of the elderly and disabled would jump in and help us out." While the idea in the current political climate might have some merit, I think the whole premise of "hate crimes" is flawed at its root and I am concerned that doing anything to futhur it would lend validity to it and I don't think we want to help set that kind of precedent. However, there are organizations for the disabled involved and I do think we should encourage that as much as possible.
