Parents of Terri Schindler-Schiavo Told to Pay to See Their Daughter

Clearwater, FL May 7, 2004: In yet another bizarre twist of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo case, the Schindler family was informed that they must now pay a fee for “security” each time that they want to visit their daughter.

On Wednesday, May 5, 2004, Deborah Bushnell of Dunedin, an attorney representing Michael Schiavo, faxed a letter to attorneys representing the parents of Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

In her communication, Ms. Bushnell recommended that Ms. Schiavo's parents could be permitted to visit their disabled daughter if they would agree to hire an off-duty police person to accompany them. This comes after attorney Patricia Anderson, who represents Ms. Schiavo's parents, filed a Writ of Quo Warranto, demanding that Mr. Schiavo demonstrate what authority he has to deny his wife visits from her immediate family. Should the Schindlers fail to pay, they would be denied visitation rights.

Ms. Schiavo currently has an off-duty police person, paid for by Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, assigned to her on a 24 hour a day basis. Additionally, the Schindlers have reported that, during their visits, nursing staff frequently enter their daughter's room.

Ms. Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, have not been permitted to visit her since March 29, 2004 (39 days), when attorney George Felos of Dunedin issued a press release stating that suspicious marks were found on her arm. A toxicology study conducted on Ms. Schiavo concluded that no unauthorized chemicals were found in her system. Ms. Schiavo's parents, along with her siblings, had attempted to visit her the following day at Park Place Assisted Living and were turned away by nursing staff in compliance with "Mr. Schiavo's orders".

Statement of Attorney Patricia Anderson:

By recommending that the financially-strapped Schindlers may only visit Terri if they pay yet another off-duty police person to accompany them, is an effort to inhibit them from freely seeing their own daughter. A couple of years ago, Michael Schiavo contacted Terri's parents and offered to give the balance of Terri's money over to charity. He and his attorneys used this a talking point for the media - claiming that Michael had no financial interest in Terri's death. What they neglected to mention was that that particular offer was predicated upon the Schindler's agreeing to Terri's dehydration and starvation death.

This latest tactic from Ms. Bushnell is really no different. I will not be surprised if Ms. Bushnell uses this as another talking point with the media in an attempt to make her and her client appear less cruel.

No mother should have to pay an admission fee to see her child on Mother's Day. Perhaps Ms. Bushnell has forgotten how most people spend Mother's Day."

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that freepers contact Virginia Delegate Bob Marshall. Here's a url with some background info on him. He helped Terri in October, 2003. We need to get his attention ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I don't have his phone number on me or email. U.S. Delegate.
I did quite some time back. He stated he no was longer a delegate in FL, and referred me on.

AND, SENATE PRESIDENT BILL FRIST, M.D. cardiac surgeon, U.S. Senate. He's from Tennessee...

The rent-a-cop is to make sure that neither Monsignor who is a senior citizen or any of the Schindlers NOT RESCUE TERRI from impending doom.

Just repeating same for newbies.

THE HOSPICE RENT-A-COPS shuddered at the thought of Terri having holy communion with a wafer to her lips AND PRETTY MUCH TOLD THE MONSIGNOR HE WOULD BE ARRESTED IF HE PUT A COMMUNION WAFER TO HER LIPS or at the thought that FLAVORED LIP GLOSS would be snuck in to Terri's room when she was deprived of food and water.

[floriduh voter]

This is liar's poker.

Terri's birthday is December 3rd or if I'm called foul for that, my 2nd choice would be Dec. 6th but definitely not today.

[EternalVigilance]

To me this is comparable to Saddam forcing family members to pay for the bullets used to kill their loved ones.

It's of the same spirit, at least.

Mary Labyak has other financial interests that are spin offs of Hospice of the Suncoast Pinellas. All you need to do is google under the name of Jonathan Alpert Attorney who has represented former Hospice employees who were terminated because they refused certain job duties or they blew the whistle about the place. You can even google Mary Labyak Jonathan Alpert and Hospice of the Suncoast Pinellas alone and you will see the Directors, the other BUSINESS ENTITIES and Mary L. holds all the keys to the kingdom of doom.

Seniors are living longer and healthier lives. PRO-DEATH ORGS WITH PRETTY SOUNDING NAMES are are COMING FOR THE HANDICAPPED for the bottom line.

This is just so unreal. Flavored lip gloss, communion wafers? I tend to get extremely angry reading these threads.

IF GEORGE FELOS WITH HELP FROM JUDGE GREER DIDN'T ROB TERRI OF OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS OF HER REHAB MONEY, and if HINO would allow Terri to enjoy FRESH AIR which keeps us infection free and sunshine is necessary as well to prevent various infections. TERRI HAS BEEN ISOLATED AND NEGLECTED and she needs to be rescued.

She has a BRAND NEW WHEELCHAIR WHICH WAS DONATED TO TERRI FOR HER BIRTHDAY but Michael will not allow it to be used. Terri doesn't have a chance in hell as long as her JAILER HINO runs the whole show. HE'S A SERIAL KILLER - MOTHER, DAD and as he said on Larry King Live, "he's not going to stop."

Well, neither are over a MILLION SUPPORTERS OF TERRI who RECOGNIZE A SHELL GAME WHEN WE SEE ONE.

Your mission imo here is to PROPAGANDIZE. Nice try. I LOOK FORWARD TO SKIPPER OVER YOUR POSTS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD.

"Since nobody knows what Terri Shiavo wants, there's at a 50/50 chance she wants to die."

How does one logically arrive at 50/50?

[floriduh voter]

What are the other repercussions of Terri's lawsuits and Terri's Law being declared unconstitutional? Since Judge Greer a Republican, who is pals with Sheriff Rice, another Republican are buddies with State Attorney Bernie McCabe who is also a Republican, the Pinellas County GOP is going to be in major meltdown. WE CAN'T STAND THE PINELLAS GOP because THIS HAS GONE ON FOR YEARS and they KEPT SUPPORTING GEORGE GREER'S INCOMPETENCE.

Republicans who would be helping the party in this election year, ARE SPENDING AT LEAST 3 to 5 hours per day campaigning for Terri. It really doesn't matter that Jeb Bush with our House & Senate passed Terri's Law. The feeding tube was restored but the rest of Terri's Law WERE NEVER PUT INTO ACTION to benefit Terri.

JUDGE W. DOUGLAS BAIRD ruled Terri's Law unconstitutional after telegraphing that he felt Terri's Law was unconstitutional before SCHIAVO V. BUSH WAS HEARD.

JUDGE DAVID DEMERS dismissed Guardian Ad Litem Jay Wolfson because Jay Wolfson thought Terri had a "distinct presence." It is as if there is a PACT, OR COVENANT if you will to starve and dehydrate Terri.

JUDGE GEORGE GREER has violated GUARDIANSHIP LAWS TO ACCOMMODATE Michael Schiavo. Why?

SENATE PRESIDENT JIM KING OF JACKSONVILLE is a Hospice Hall of Famer. He wrote the FAULTY EXIT PROTOCOLS to begin with.

On the other hand, bioethicist Wesley Smith refers to EXIT PROTOCOLS as FORCED EXITS which is MURDER.

Maybe on Mother's Day, Mrs. Schindler will see her daughter for the right price.

We pray often that this evil is rooted out. This is not the United States I grew up in. If this is our future, our country's already in big trouble.

Terri's birthday is Dec. 3rd. This past birthday she turned 40 and there was a huge celebration in her honor, although she couldn't attend. Michael made her family take down the birthday cards we all sent hours after they were put up around her room.

[William Terrell]

You're freaking out, my friend.

[William Terrell]

How does one logically arrive at 50/50?

We know zero about what Terri wants. So there has to be an equal chance she wants to live as she wants to die. To load it either way from the center is to assume you know something about what she wants. And nobody does.

[floriduh voter]

This is a part of our everyday lives until Terri's nightmare is over. She doesn't want FORCED EXIT. She needs a jackbooted thug type RESCUE but I doubt she'll get one.

We are angry too but we treat it like a campaign and stay positive. And the demographics are unheard of. I think the web site terrisfight.org has over a MILLION HITS. Incredible.

If folks aren't going to 'freak out' over the attempted murder of the weak and helpless, what in the world are they ever going to respond to?

Everyone needs to 'freak out' as FV has done, then outrages like this wouldn't be happening.

The alternative is the equivilent of marching helplessly and meekly and quietly to the boxcars...or watching as those who can't defend themselves are herded there.

Imagine if the Germans had 'freaked out' in the late thirties and early forties, as they should have.

Nonsequiter.

Suicide is illegal and immoral too, notwithstanding the Left's semi-successful efforts to make such niceties a thing of the past, and acceptable in the minds of otherwise sane people like yourself.

You seem to have fallen for the fallacy that food and hydration are somehow 'heroic measures'.

Try depriving your pets or your livestock of food and hydration.

It'll earn you a nice stay in 'the Graybar Hotel'.
