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
TEXANS, PLEASE CALL TOM DELAY AND TELL HIM THAT THIS ISN'T GOING TO END AND DEMAND A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO INVESTIGATE GEORGE GREER BY THE USDOJ - stat.
If I call Delay, they won't speak to me because I'm a Floridian. 1-800-648-3516 Capital Switchboard. If you have his District Phone number, PLEASE TEXAS, CALL TOM DELAY. WE ARE NOT STOPPING SO THEY MIGHT AS WELL STOP JUDGE GREER WHILE TERRI'S STILL WITH US. Thanks, FV
