We have received information tonight from the Schindlers that the Department of Children & Families have decided that there is insufficient evidence of abuse to proceed inthe Terri Schiavo case.
The infromation was passed on to the Gibbs Law Firm and Attorney Felos. We are not sure how they arrived at this decision without an investigation.
The Schindlers are very disappointed at this time and ask everyone to contact Govenor Bush and ask him to please save Terri's life !
It is urgent that you contact Govenor Bush as soon as possible !

What is wrong with our Judicial system? Why did family and Children Services decline to help?
this is very puzzling. i live in massachusetts and if a child or family was in danger they would interven.What is the difference in this case? Terri cannot speak for herself and certainly her husband is not thinking of her best interests
GROUNDS FOR A CIVIL CASE AND INVESTIGATION. ONE FAILED BY THE FLORIDA COURTS.
Why does Michael Schiavo really want to have Terri executed, now?��
I have watched many interviews and some with people that do not know the family and has no connections to them.� They know Terri by working with her at the hospital. Some interviews have been with doctors that have a different opinion than those supporting Michael and the Dr. Kevorkian's of the world.
A� couple nurses are saying that when Terri was first admitted into the hospital and was in rehab, she was actually improving.� Even speaking a few words.� One said that Michael continued to ask when would she die?� Terri's family� has claimed their daughter communicatied with them. Perhaps she stopped communicating with Michael for personal reasons.
A very close friend to Terri, since childhood, claims that Terri was going to leave Michael and file for divorce.� She says, Terri told her that Michael was too controlling and watched her every move.� He wrote down the mileage on the car, and limited her time with friends when in town visiting.�� She also said that Terri and her had been communicating by telephone days before her collapse.�� Both women planned to leave their husbands and move in together sharing expenses. If this is true, one could say that Terri's care for the last 15 years has been care provided by someone that is no more than an ex-spouse. Could you imagine being under the care and instructions of an ex-spouse.�� I wouldn't!�� I know that my best interests would not be at heart. This should have been investigated and if there was proof of abuse or Terri making plans to leave than her care should have been turned over to someone besides Michael.�� Not someone claiming to be a husband and saying he� loves her when the man was moving on with his life.��
The parents have reported there is no evidence that Terri had a heart attack.� There is no evidence that Terri was bulimic like Michael says.� Terri has never had a MRI and no PET SCAN.� Only a CAT scan and that was many years ago.� She has had no physical therapy, speech therapy, or rehab in 13 years. Experts know that helping someone like Terri will take years of hard work, rehabilitation and excercise. Why did this man leave her in a room to depreciate and rot?� Why did he stop treatment? Somoene not so loving in my opinion!
It is reported by many that Michael did portray himself as the loving, kind and supportive husband the first year after Terri collapsed.� He was always there for Terri.� He even� took her to a place in Calif for special treatment but claims he could not afford what was recommended.� There had been a malpractice suit filed on the behalf of Terri.� Michael sued Terri's doctor for not running blood tests on her.� Michael had expressed to the� Judge and his lawyer that Terri being a young woman could live in her condition for 50 years.� He was demanding for enough money to care for her that long.� Money that could go towards her care and the latest testing and rehab.� He never told the Judge he would be following up on wishes to have his wifes feeding tube removed.�� He was awarded $1,000,000, and a lot less than he had planned for.� Terri was to receive $700,000 to assist her in medical expenses and another $300,000 went to Michael.��� When Michael received the settlement� did he take Terri back to CA for that special treatment?
No!
He gets some money, doesn't seek the latest and newest tests or rehab. Instead, for the first time in seven years,� he starts telling people that Terri wouldn't want to live this way. He is now telling the family that Terri had wishes not to be kept alive if on a machine or tube.� Odd that this all came about after he had new interests.� Money, a new live in, and a new life.�� Now he stops the compassionate husband act and he wants Terri dead.�� He goes on to start a new family and even has a couple kids.�� Still clamining to be Terri's husband,� and refusing to turn Terri and her care to her parents.�� He now has a legal wife and a common law wife!� Could this have been more about control, power, and winning than about Terri?
He stopped helping Terri get well.� He spent most of Terri's money on attornies fighting for what he wanted.� He spent some of the money for college on himself to be a nurse. A nurse, as he claimed so that he could take care of Terri himself. Just more lies that sounded good but never pursued. He never tried to� nurse Terri.
Who knows what Terri wanted?� The only people saying she would want to die is Michael, his brother, and his sister in law.� No one else.� People that have known Terri for years, grew up with Terri,� all say Terri loved life.� She didn't believe in giving up on someone ill or the elderly.� Who are you going to believe?�
I DON'T BELIEVE MICHAEL SCHIAVO!� The courts shouldn't either!
That is hearsay!� He says, she says!
That is why this case made it to congress.� Private matter?� Yes, when families agree and the case doesn't have the circumstances surrounding it like this one does.� The parents fought to the top for their daughter.� I praise congress, the Govenor of Florida and our President for doing their legal part.� They did no more and no less of what was expected.� That says a lot about these men and women!� They were there for the interest of one individual.� There to protect� Terri and others that may one day be in her shoes. Why did Michael Schiavo tell people after Terri's collapse that he didn't know what to do and never knew what Terri's wishes would have been?�� WHY DID HE WAIT SEVEN YEARS TO COME FORWARD SAYING THIS IS WHAT SHE WOULD HAVE WANTED?�� REALISTICALLY, BEFORE NOW, HOW MANY 20 PLUS YEAR OLDS SPOKE ABOUT DEATH AND BEING KEPT ALIVE BY MACHINES?��� HOW DO WE KNOW THAT SHE HAD A DIFFERENT OPINION ABOUT THE FEEDING TUBE VERSUS LIFE SUPPORT?
WE DON'T.�
SO WHEN IN DOUBT THERE SHOULD BE FURTHER TESTING ORDERED ALONG WITH REHAB TO SEE WHICH DOCTORS ARE CORRECT.�� THE SUICIDE DOCTORS OR THOSE THAT ARE WILLING TO� RISK THEIR REPUTATIONS BY SAYING, THEY CAN HELP TERRI?�
There are doctors speaking for Terri and believe they can help improve her currant status.� One of these doctors was nominated for a Nobel Prize for his work in this field.�� A speech therapist believes she will be able to help Terri communicate through speech.� Yes, there are many doctors supporting Michael and his attorney.� One of these doctors supporting Michael also believes in letting patients with Alzheimer's die.
Why?� When there have been so many break throughs in this area.
What is Michael afraid of?� Is he afraid of Terri being able to communicate?� What is wrong with allowing these specialist to work with Terri for just six months to see if there is any kind of improvement?� Just six months.
This is what the family is fighting for.� Terri's rights.��� If Terri had really said that she wanted to die if in this situation, than that would be different.� But, we don't know.� Some believe that Michael may have suffocated Terri on the night of her collapse and that is why he stayed so close to her in the beginning.� He stayed close for fear she would start talking.� Some believe it is the signs of a controlling husband continuing his final power play over Terri and her family.
There are many suspicious factors involved.�� One, is the fact that Michael was offered more than a million dollars by a very wealthy individual asking him to turn Terri over to her family so she couldreceive treatment.� Michael turned it down saying this was not about money.� One million dollares is a lot of money for anyone to turn down.� If it is not about money, how about fear that Terri may start communicating again?� Otherwise, why refuse Terri the opportunity for advanced treatment and care? Perhaps it has more to do with power and control, along with winning.�� He will not be proven wrong!��� So he is willing to fight to the end to get what Michael wants and have revenge on the family. If that is true, that shows proof of the kind of man Michael really is. Then again,� is he counting on large amounts of money to come in from book deals and movie rights?
No one knows what really happened the night that Terri collapsed.� No one but Michael.� Some people have asked him to take a polygraph test and he has refused.� Why?� He says he has done nothing wrong and isn't on trial.� True!�� But innocent people shouldn't be afraid to take a test.� A test that isn't 100% conclusive, but pretty close.� Used by the FBI, all police depts, attornies, employers, ect.�
Again I ask, what is Michael hiding?
Michael refused the family of Terri to take pictures or video tape her.� Why?
They had to sneak the 2003 video that we have seen so many times on television. He wouldn't allow the family to be left alone with Terri. He made them remove the family pictures they placed in her room to help Terri feel the love of her family when not there. He limited their visits and time with Terri. He would not allow them to provide any type of rehab or therapy. Again I ask, why?��� He is REFUSING the family the rights to bury Terri.�� He wants her crematied� and buried by his loved ones. I have to ask how many of those Schiavo loved ones have been cremated?�� The parents want to bury their daughter.� What kind of man can be so cold and cruel,� unless he is afraid of something.� A man that has something to hide?�� Destroy evidence by cremating?
There are many people in Terri's situation.� Many more are worse than she is!� They are alive because their families are searching for ways to help them improve.� Who is next?� Our elderly, those with mental illness, the disabled, people paralyzed.� Remember how hard Christopher Reeves fought to live and survive despite all his handicaps?� Unable to move, yet fighting to get better.� If alive, there is no doubt that he would be fighting for Terri today!� Terri's heart beats on its own.� Terri breathes on her own.� She can swallow, but has trouble with food and drink.� She is brain damaged but not brain dead accoring to doctors supporting Terri's right to live.. The only ones that say she is brain dead are those supporting Michael and suicide death for the terminally ill..� Of course, Michael is going to use only those doctors that support his opinion.
What I am trying to say is that without a "living will," no one should be executed, based on hearsay.� Especially, a case like this one with many suspicious circumstances.� The husband says he loves her but doesn't spend money to get her the latest treatment or rehabilitation.� Says he loves her but doesn't go to visit her accept when the media is involved.� Says he loves her but doesn't want her to be removed from her room, not to be taken outside, or home for visits.� When is the last time Terri was taken outside to feel the sunshine on her face?�
In my opinion,� Terri has been fighting to survive.� I think she wants to live.�� I watched another interview with a woman that had been just like Terri.� Doctors told her husband she was a vegetable.� (I have forgotton her name).��� This woman has been on FOX and CNN, saying she felt the pain when the feeding tube was inserted into her stomach without medication.� She also felt the pain of eight days of starvation when the tube was removed.� Pain that wasn't suppose to be felt.� But, her doctors were wrong.�� She said that she was trapped in her own body as a prisoner.� Unable to talk, move, or respond.� But she understood and knew everything being said in the room.�� The difference here is that she had a loving husband that never gave up and used their money to fight for her to have the tube reinserted, and then to continue therapy.� This woman is paralyzed on the left side, but she is able to talk, communicate, and to tell her story.� She says her husband saved her life.� When doctors gave up, he didn't.��� I still wonder if Michael is afraid of something and doesn't want Terri to get better.� This other woman should be one of great hope for anyone with a loved one in this condition. If Michael really cared about Terri, one would expect him to seek the same doctors she had for her care and rehabilitation in hopes Terri could improve.
Doctors do not agree on this case.� When in doubt, why take the chance with ones life?� Give Terri a chance!� That is all her parents are asking for.� Husband is in control and said no to treatment years ago.�� What if Terri's best interest isn't his main priority?� What is wrong with opening concealed medical records and making the police report from the night of her collapse public?�� Show us that he has nothing to hide.�� Severly bulimic patients have teeth that are rotting.� WHat do Terri's dental records show?� Were there marks on her neck the night she collapsed?� The family has stated that it was not until 2002,� they discovered that Terri had previously suffered many broken bones and they had no knowledge until then.�� They have wondered if Terri was an abused woman?
Open the records and reveal the truth.�
GIVE TERRI A CHANCE TO WORK WITH THE DOCTORS THAT SAY THEY CAN HELP HER IMPROVE.� LETS SEE WHAT THESE PROFESSIONALS ARE CAPABLE OF DOING FOR TERRI.
WHAT IS THE RUSH TO KILL HER NOW?� GIVE IT SOME TIME AND THEN COME BACK TOGETHER IN 6-8 MONTHS TO DISCUSS WHAT THE RESULTS ARE.
I CAN UNDERSTAND THE FAMILY PLEADING TO CONGRESS AND THEIR GOVENOR.�� REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE, YOUR POLITICAL PARTY, OR WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT PRESIDENT BUSH,
EVEN A DEATH ROW INMATE PLEADS WITH HIS GOVENOR WHEN PREPARING FOR HIS DEATH ROW MARCH.
WHY WOULD THIS BE ANY DIFFERENT?
PRIVATE ISSUE?
YES, WHEN THE FAMILY IS IN AGREEMENT.
BUT WHEN THERE ARE TOO MANY QUESTIONS AND SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES THAN IT IS TIME FOR OTHERS TO GET INVOLVED.�� ESPECIALLY IF THE FAMILY INSISTS! MANY OF THE POLLS ARE INACURATE SINCE THE PEOPLE BEING POLLED FAIL TO KNOW THE FACTS SURROUNDING THIS CASE AND THAT TERRI'S SO - CALLED "HEARSAY" WISHES CAME SEVEN YEARS AFTER HER COLLAPSE.
POLITICS, RELIGION, OR HEARSAY DEATH WISHES,........... PUT ALL OF THAT ASIDE AND REMEMBER THAT A� LIFE IS AT STAKE HERE.
ONE THAT IS FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE AND NOT GIVING UP EASILY OR WITHOUT A BATTLE!
Many people are asking if the family of Terri has legal grounds for a civil case.
In Civil Court, could Michael Schiavo be forced to open sealed medical records that he has kept from the family?� Judges hate to admit they have been wrong or made a mistake.��� In my opinion it would be worth it for the family of Terri to pursue a civil lawsuit.�� Michael wants to believe this story will die with Terri.�����
I tend to disagree! With so many questions and so much doubt to his story I believe there will be many curious news reporters searching and digging for more of the truth about Terri and Michael Schiavo
