Clearwater, FL (LifeNews.com) -- For a month and a half, the parents of Terri Schiavo have been prevented from visiting their daughter. They hope to change that by filing an emergency petition with Judge George Greer asking him to restore their visitation rights.
Greer, who previously authorized Terri's estranged husband Michael to remove the feeding tube allowing her to live, has agreed to hear the motion.
The hearing is scheduled for May 26 and Greer has allotted 2 hours to consider the motion filed by attorney Pat Anderson on behalf of Bob and Mary Schindler.
Shortly after receiving the motion, Judge Greer, who presides over the guardianship matter involving Terri, refused to hear it on an expedited basis stating he does not consider this an emergency matter.
Following the suspicious discovery of puncture wounds on Terri's arms on March 29, the Schindlers were turned away from visiting Terri by nursing staff who told them they were acting on Michael's orders.
Last week, Deborah Bushnell, one of Michael's lawyers, faxed a letter to Pat Anderson, an attorney for the Schindlers.
Bushnell said the Schindlers could visit their daughter, but only if they would agree to hire an off-duty police officer to accompany them. Should Terri's parents fail to meet the request, they would continue to be denied visitation rights.
"This family is enduring a nightmare, all because of a staged incident," Anderson said. "Terri's mother cannot even see her own daughter, comfort her, touch her or interact with her."
"It's amazing to me that anyone would think Terri Schiavo deserves this form of punishment," Anderson explained. "For her to be confined and isolated in this fashion is something I find cruel and completely contrary to Florida statutes. Death row inmates get better treatment."
Clearwater, Florida attorney Jan Govan has filed to run against Judge Greer in his bid for re-election.
Govan has an uphill battle. He has yet to begin fundraising while Greer already has over $55,000 on hand, according to the Florida state election web site.

I think that this is the most cruel and unbelievable story that I have ever heard in the USA. It makes me feel like vigilante action is still needed. The courts in Florida have gone "haywire". There is no sense, no justice, just evil riding the circuit.
If she were my daughter (I have only 1 child)there is no judge or other power on earth that could keep me away from her. I would do a Tony Soprano on someone.........
I don't understand why this case keeps coming before the same crooked judge. Why can't the Schindler's lawyers get a change of venue? They will never get justice from this judge who has his mind made up, or is on the take from Schiavo.
Thanks for the ping, Nick!
Pinging my Terri list for an update!
That Greer does not consider this an emergency shows us yet again where his "loyalty" lies. Does not bode well for Terri or her parents, but we can continue to pray!
The way the law works (as I understand it) the case will always go before the same judge, so that another judge doesn't have to spend precious time reading up on all the ins & outs of each case. He just has to keep on top of his own caseload. They think it works better that way, and I suppose it does...IF you're Michael!
You wanna know what Satan looks like? Look at Judge Greer.
Me, too.
George W. Greer was born with the knowledge that 62 years in the future he would dehydrate and starve another human being and prevent her family from visiting her as well. It was in Greer's fate from the start. And he would proclaim that he was merely "following law, precedent, and justice." And the people of FL would say WHAT?????
I hate to say this but there just has to be something wrong with the way the Schindler's lawyers are operating.
Choking now! Where's a pal to do the Heimlich when you need him?
AMEN!
Well, I could save him the 2 hours, since we already know how he will rule. However it is good to know that each and every time he makes a ruling, more word gets out about Terri. What is being done to Terri is in no way less than what was done to Nick Berg. Some day these torturers will pay, and I for one live for that day.
You said that you thought George W. Greer despises the disabled. Isn't George W. Greer himself disabled -- mentally and by eyesight? Apparently, the voters there need to redeem themselves to remove this unfit individual from the bench. Probably only Greer and the other judges know why he is determined to kill this innocent victim.
You wanna know what Satan looks like? Look at Judge Greer.
Do you know anything about the Baptist Church that Greer attends? Is it a "conservative" church? If so, shouldn't he be excommunicated for extreme sin and told to depart from his wickedness?
Lisa, your post is so compelling, that I am going to ping my Terri list. Absolutely great information! Did you find the info I was talking about from the first monster Terri thread? The fact that we found so little to connect them corroborates what the Scientology methodology is. Excellent work!
Pinging my Terri list, plus a few more that might be interested! Please ping your lists to this important information (post #15).
