HOLYOKE, Mass. -- Haleigh Poutre's birth mother is expected to file a court motion seeking more of a say in her daughter's medical care.

Allison Avrett plans to appear in Holyoke Juvenile Court on Wednesday.

Haleigh, 12, has been hospitalized since police say her adoptive mother and stepfather severely beat her in September.

About a week after taking custody of the Westfield girl in September, the Department of Social Services sought permission to remove her from life support.

Thanks, T'wit, a great thread on the many uses of duct tape. I am going out to buy two more rolls today. It just has lots of uses, like Super Glue.

A very advanced discussion on the uses of duct tape! This made me laugh out loud :-) Off subject but too funny not to share.

On the rooftops around Woodside Hospice.

Apparently so : ( I didn't realize that Scientology has such a following overseas. Many of those people were from other countries besides America. Really disturbing stories.

Kind of ironic, isn't it? I can't speak for all LE agencies, but Pinellas Park dropped the ball. The pamphlet is standard issue for all LE, but not all agencies follow the guidelines.

I remember the false charges against the Schindlers. Incredibly hateful. It has been apparent that the Pinellas Park PD works for Greer instead of autonomously for several years. It happens, but it's usually not this blatant. I'm sure no one was censured for those comments at the Rotary luncheon, either.

Many moonbats are found outside of North America. In fact, the moonbat range is worldwide, with occasional sightings on the moon and in outer space. Moonbatologists believe that Ron Hubbard will come back on the Mother Ship and scoop them away to Lalalalaland.

Oral polio vaccine did that to that man? Not to completely get off track, but there has been a lot of talk over the years about certain vaccines. One of my cousins was born "normal", but developed autism at around 2 yrs old, after experiencing a high fever. Let's hope that baby MB can be treated decently. It looks to me that instead of creating cures and treatments for these disorders, the medical profession wants to take the "easy way out".

A while back I mentioned a kindergarten classmate of my oldest daughter's. I thought that perhaps she had been exposed to too much oxygen in an incubator. Her skin looked burned, she had coke bottle glasses, and had to be carried into the building. I mentioned it recently to my aunt in regards to premature infants, and she told me it was more likely that the little girl was the living product of a saline abortion. In her opinion, too much oxygen could possibly damage the eyes, but not that kind of skin damage would result.

Gianna Jessen is one lucky young woman. She apparently is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Great find!

I didn't realize that Scientology has such a following overseas.

"Scientology was officially founded in Germany in 1970, although the first group had already been established in 1968, mainly by publics of Saint Hill. Among them was Munich arts professor Waki Zoellner" (born 1935).

Hmmmm. I wonder if Waki is just utilizing his childhood education.

Sheesh, everytime I see the word moonbat, I think of Shindy Sheehan. I feel badly for the innocents who get caught up in that cult/religion. Just what is the difference between Branch Davidians and Scientologists anyway? Why did the BD's get anihillated, but Scientology flourishes. I think the second is more dangerous than the other could ever hope to be.

Mommy, there's Thetans under my bed!!!!!

I thought L. Ron Hubbard started this cult? They use the same tactics, like suing the pants off anyone who critizes their religion, as their American counterparts do. I did not know that Scientology was started in Germany. Thank you for the link.

>> Just what is the difference between Branch Davidians and Scientologists anyway?

The Davidians are Christians in the Seventh Day Adventist tradition who take their doctrines from the Bible. Scientologists are barking moonbats who take their doctrine from a science fiction book. Any questions?

It was striking at the time of the Waco standoff that the MSM always referred to the Branch Davidians as a "cult." Clearly, in liberal eyes, it is legally and morally permissible to slaughter members in a "cult," including children. That propaganda word "cult" was a death sentence for the Waco group. I think the media had a huge responsibility in drumming up the murderous federal attack on the compound.

Branch Davidians - backgrounding

It was the Clearwater PD who was making fun of Terri at the Rotary Luncheon. It was the Pinellas Park PD who harassed vigilers and tailed vigilers when they left Hospice Woodside. State Troopers even drove by the Vigil but they were just on break but we thought maybe they were coming to save Terri. Fat chance.

And the Pinellas Cty Sheriff's Dept. former Sheriff Everett Rice hired Michael Schiavo -all LE corrupt, all in w/J. Greer.

All in w/Charlie Crist who wants to be the next gov of Fla. Worse than Jeb. Stupid and also Crist in a keynote speech stated that Greer and J. Whittemore were heroes for defending the judiciary by killing Terri. The photos are out there of the West Palm Beach event.

If anyone has shortwave radio, the Schindlers will be on at 6 p.m. on March 24 on "Catholic Answers."

I'm sure that the Schindlers will also be on EWTN cable, and a number of other places around the time of this sad anniversary. They are so brave.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to ck EWTN out. Terri's murder was the first sign imo that this country was on the wrong track. The second sign was the way the hurricanes were mismanaged. Both events involved dehydration, euthanasia and neglect.

I would say that abortion was the first sign. God has been really patient with us.

If you hear about appearances that the Schindlers will make, please let us know.

I get my news re: Terri's family at www.northcountrygazette.org. June Maxam is writing an expose' on Terri.

Due to scheduling conflicts, I haven't attended any functions locally.

And, I have that cat I rescued before hurricane Wilma was supposed to hit here but then didn't. Wilma went to Miami instead. I named him FEMA.
