I think we should bombard the police with our concerns. This is insane! Michael sounds like he is in charge of the investigation.

I just called the mayor's office of Clearwater. They gave me the police spokeman. He didn't answer, I left a voice message. I called the police, but was disconnected.
I want to know why the police are letting Michael take control of who visits Terri, instead of the police denying access to Michael and everyone else until this is cleared up. Michael has been accused before of using a hyperdermic needle on Terri by one of the nurses and should be the primary suspect, not the Schindlers. He was even the one who called the police, so obviously he was there to administer something to Terri. It's not the Schindler's who want her dead.

The police spokesman is Wayne Shelor - 727-562-4333
Mayor's office - 727-562-4050

Thank you for your wonderful question Dante3. The best thing we can do, no matter where we are, is to get down on our knees and say to God with all our hearts, "please help Terri, Lord." A simple prayer to Jesus can turn this whole thing around.

[PrepareToLeave]

Thank you, that's the best news I've heard all day. Praise the Lord for moving people to go.

BTW, how are you phenn? Prayers for you too.

I was so sorry to see that . . . what a devastating loss.

Just returned from outofstate--Thanks for the ping. Prayers and emails going out for The Love of {{{Terri}}}!!!

[AnimalLover]

Just checking in to report I have just called:

the Mayor
Wayne Shelor, Police information and---
Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Told them all that the whole country no - the world is
watching this case very carefully and something better
be done to impeach Judge Greer.

Hope it helps. My prayers are with Terri and her family.

[phenn]

You rock!!

[dandelion]

Thank you for the heads-up. Father, we call on You...

HOW can Terri be missing 2 teeth in such a short period of time???

Could be partially from bone demineralization. No mouth care for several years didn't help either

Tuck this away for future reference.
Please contact FL ombudsman. Make a report in "good faith." Make sure you include your name, address, phone number, as that is part of the process. I also contacted the Advocacy Center, JEB, ACLJ, NCEA, and others. Here is the reply I received from the National Center on Elder Abuse in DC.


Thank you for contacting the NCEA. I am sorry to hear about this - these matters need to be investigated by the Long Term Care Ombudsman in the state where the incident occurred. In Florida, that number is 800-962-2873.

In the weeks Terri has been at Park Place she has vomited twice, lost two molars, developed a decubitus ulcer and now, allegedly, was assaulted.

She is not allowed any visitors. Her family has been denied visitation, and so have friends. Her lack of treatment will be further compromised without any family and friends to check on her.

Here is what I sent

To Whom It Concerns,

In the past several days, word has been sent out that Terri Schiavo, currently housed at:
Park Place in Clearwater, Fl.
Assisted Living Facility
2750 Drew St.
727 799 2177
has lost a tooth, has a decubitus ulcer to the buttock, (a bedsore) and has lost a second tooth.

According to Cheryl Ford, RN, Schindler family confidant, the staff refuses to speak to the family. The staff will not answer any questions, in violation of a 1996 court order, regarding the bedsore. If untreated, the sore worsens, affecting the muscle then bone, Terri becomes septic, and dies.

To house this brain injured woman in a health care facility, provide substandard care, and deny her basic rights of protection is abusive as hell. Unresolved litigation and disputes within the family are not the issue. Terri Schiavo is the issue.

Consider this a good faith report. The facility should be investigated along with personnel. To flagrantly violate state laws by not reporting abuse to this gal is not a comforting feeling. Each caregiver who has had contact with Terri needs investigated.

Check what narcotics are being given Terri allegedly in a PVS, and how they deduce she is in pain if she is a PVS. Find out why this gal receives no sensory stimulation. Why she is not allowed outside in a wheelchair with her family. Why her family is not allowed to take photos. Why visitors must be approved by the estranged husband. Why there is an armed officer inside her room. The Schindler's are not able to bond with their daughter in a normal fashion. This is not health care. This is jail.
