My email to Mr. Dykman....
Dear Mr. Dyckman,
I am writing to you because I am completely stunned at your response to Cheryl Ford. She and I do not personally know each other, however many of us have developed bonds during our fight to save Terri's life. She is good person, and a total professional.
Sir, imagine a time where your boys are grown men. Unfortunately one is injured in an accident. No life support, save a feeding tube, is needed. However he has a wife looking at a huge insurance policy, should her husband, your child, dies. You know that your son can be rehabilitated. He won't be the same, but he'll be there, and he knows who you are. All of a sudden, the wife decides that you can't see your son anymore, and tries to remove his feeding tube. Terri Schiavo lasted 6 days of starvation, before Governor Bush intervened and her feeding was resumed. As a parent, could you last through 12 years of this nightmare?
We don't know what really happened to Terri on that
day, Michael Schiavo wants to make sure no one knows. I do know that when you are faced with evil and you turn away, you share some guilt because you didn't do anything. A lot of Germans have that problem about concentration camps such as Auschwitz. We've always castigated civilian Germans for not stepping forward earlier. Is Terri any different from your distant kin? It starts with her, and God knows who it ends up with.
Please sleep on this, and do the right thing.
Sincerely,
TheSpottedOwl
This poor excuse for a "news" paper has been a leading voice in the mad effort to starve and dehydrate an innocent woman to death. From Mary Jo Melone on down, the St. Petersburg Times is an absolute disgrace.
They should change their name to the "Euthanasia Enquirer".
She has been since October 2003 when her feeding tubes were removed. There were a lot of people on the street in front of that Hospice then. No one is around now, so I don't understand why Hospice continues to use its donation funds to pay for this. If you figure only $20 an hour, there's well over 100k they've spent. I don't think their benefactors would be too amused.
This is Terri's 40th day of forced isolation from her parents, siblings,
priest, those who love her and her 1489th day confined to just a single
small room by Hospice of the Florida Suncoast (give or take a few days
of having to be in the hospital from neglect and almost being
dehydrated/starved to death).
Just when you thought the bottom of the barrel was being reached. now there
is a fax from Michael Schiavo's attorney Deborah Bushnell that the
Schindlers could be permitted to visit their daughter if they pay for an off
duty police officer to accompany them (arranged by Deborah Bushnell & Co. of
course):

Re: Schiavo, Theresa - #1834 -Guardianship
Dear Pat:
I received your fax dated May 4, 2004.
We inquired of Hospice as to whether they would allow their
security officers to be in the room during Robert and Mary
Schindlers' visitation. To date, we have not received their
consent to this arrangement, and it does not seem likely that
such an arrangement can be made with them in the near future.
In the interim, the Schindlers may visit Terri in the presence
of a security officer. However, we would have to make private
security options. If your clients are agreeable to paying the
cost of such supervision, please let us know, and we will
follow up to make arrangements for the visitation and let you
know the cost.
Sincerely,

Terri is denied any extensive/comprehensive range of motion therapy or any
kind of therapies that could make her better. Terri is not terminal yet
Michael Schiavo is trying hard to make it so. AHCA's April 1st investigation
didn't see anything wrong with Terri's teeth yet shortly after their
investigation 5 teeth were completely removed from her mouth, with no
restorative work considered. How could the AHCA not have noticed anything
wrong? The surveyors notes of this investigation are a must read. They show
to what lengths Hospice of Florida Suncoast, Michael Schiavo, etc. are going
to deceive investigators to cover up the fraud and criminal neglect they are
committing upon Terri, the people of Florida, United States and the world.
The AHCA appears to be complicit in aiding and abetting these crimes. These
Chapter 119 documents are available upon request.
There is a big question: WHAT ARE YOU AND YOUR FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS DOING ABOUT BRINGING THE PERPETRATORS TO JUSTICE? Contact the
senators for your district and ask them what can be done, there are any
number of actions that can be taken. Be creative, do take action.
