If Massachusetts DSS has a penchant for reducing human longevity, they also have a penchant for treating the charges they scoop up as personal property. We may see how DSS does in this effort by a relative to visit children deeded over to DSS as government property.

The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl who died of a prescription pill overdose is asking to be allowed to see her other two grandchildren.

Valerie Berio of Weymouth said she expects to meet with officials from the Department of Social Services to discuss the possibility of visits with her 6-year-old granddaughter and 11-year-old grandson.

Bobby Schindler is braver than I in boldly stepping into the Cornell-Ithaca New York environment. Doing so, he told the story of what happened to Terri, something recent trolls and run-of-the-mill misinformed seem not to want to understand.

.................................

In 1998, Michael wrote the Schindler family a letter, explaining that he was petitioning the courts to remove his wife’s feeding tube.

Terri’s family opposed removal of the feeding tube. Michael, backed by his brother and sister-in-law, said Terri had made statements before she suffered brain damage that she would not want to live in such a condition.

“Our family was very naïve at what we were up against,” Schindler said. “The attitudes of our country [toward this issue] have been changed because of the influence of the media, judges, doctors and bioethics.”

Schindler said he was frustrated that the media portrayed his sister as bedridden and unable to be moved. In fact, Schindler said, had Terri been alive today, he could have brought her with him; she would have merely needed a wheelchair to be transported. Schindler emphasized that Schiavo was not connected to breathing stabilizers of any sort.

“My sister was not dying. She was physically as healthy as you and me,” Schindler said.
