How will DCF have standing to ever again remove someone from abusive situation?
amdgmary posted a pic with the quote from Felos that basically DCF has no more authority than a person walking down the street. Can you tell me where to look for that quote Mary? I tried google but couldn't come up with the same wording.
No doubt, they will pick someone next. They better leave the blondes to do the hard thinking!

I wonder about that too. They are supposed to be a protection agency. If someone wanted to commit suicide, now it seems, DCF would be abusive in protecting them from themselves.
If I understand correctly, in Terri's case the DCF has no authority because Terri has a guardian; therefore the DCF has no authority because a judge appointed a guardian over her.
So...if DCF wants to remove a child from an allegedly abusive situation, they can. If you're just a parent, i.e., only God appointed you, then the DCF has the authority to take your child. But if a judge makes you a guardian, the DCF can't touch you.
Have I got that right? If so, parents would do well to arrange, not just living wills, but judge-approved guardianship over their children. Certificates of Guardianship could be issued, and regularly reviewed and renewed for a reasonable fee at the local office... /s
