Judge releases DCF document in Schiavo case

Clearwater, Florida - A court document filed by the Department of Children and Families cites 30 allegations of abuse or neglect in the Terri Schiavo case and seeks to block her husband from allowing her to die while the claims are investigated.

The petition unsealed yesterday seeks a stay of Circuit Judge George Greer's order allowing her husband to have his wife's feeding tube removed starting March 18th.

Michael Schiavo has been engaged in a bitter legal fight to remove the tube, arguing that his wife did not want to be kept alive artificially.

The social service agency says it received "30 detailed allegations of abuse, neglect or exploitation in a 34 page document received by the DCF hotline" February 18th and February 21.

More at link above.

Here is a link to the DCF petition for intervention:

The complaints look an awful lot like those of Ms. Schiavo's parents and of the religious right.

They're out to get Micheal Schiavo.

3. I've been meaning to contact you about this!

Doesn't anyone have any questions about how/why DCF got involved when it did?

4. "Hot line tips" no doubt organized by some Xian Coalition group

They will have hiim in prison for abuse before all this is done so they can "win".

5. It certainly looks that way.

I can't figure out why more Floridians aren't up in arms at this point!

6. I know a lot of old codgers there

who are mad as hell about all this horseshit over one nearly dead woman when they are suffering service cutbacks and Medicare cuts. They're not the demonstrative type, though.

Yes, people are mad as hell.

I no longer have a whole lot of sympathy for those parents. This thing has taken on a life of its own, and their fame seems to be the main objective now.

7. They've made a mockery of the judicial system in Florida,

have pushed for unconstitutional legislation, and now are injecting government into the whole affair again! There is some kind of new legislation they're pushing...
