Gee, I wonder if Schiavo has "gotten behind" on his child-support payments for this teenager. There's only one source to my knowledge for this supposed third child, a letter written to a Florida paper which didn't publish it. Freepers have been in contact with the writer, but I know next to nothing about that. I don't give it all that much credence. It's the kind of thing that takes on a life of its own. Because one person alleges it, it must be true and therefore becomes grist for the mill.
Until and unless it is verified, like some of the other things alleged in this situation, I tend to dismiss it.
>>There's only one source to my knowledge for this supposed third child...
Supposedly if you go here:
http://pubtitlet.co.pinellas.fl.us/index.html and plunk down $60 with a credit card, you can access child support documentation. I'm not completely sure it'll work, but I do know that the limited free-access records for traffic tickets and such, did come up. (I'm not ready to spend sixty clams to launch my credit info into cyberspace when I haven't the brains to protect it out there.)
I found 3 listings for a Michael Schiavo in the Adult Criminal Lookup, one for a Theresa Marie Schiavo; a car accident case for one Jodi Centonze; various listings for Terri's case, including MS vs. Jeb Bush; 5 traffic offenses for a Michael Schiavo...but the details of these docs are not accessible without registering and paying. They may, or may NOT, be viewable to paying customers.
Any brave souls out there?
