Haleigh Poutre update...

SPRINGFIELD - One year after 11-year-old Haleigh Poutre was hospitalized, bruised and unresponsive, her biological mother yesterday filed a $12.5 million lawsuit against the state, saying she was coerced into giving the girl up for adoption and now is deprived of her companionship.

The lawsuit states that Department of Social Services Commissioner Lewis H. Spence and employees violated Allison Avrett's civil rights by coercing her in 1998 to give up Haleigh, then 4, to Avrett's half-sister for adoption.

After Haleigh's hospitalization in 2005, her adoptive mother and stepfather were charged with beating her. Since then, the hospitalized girl's condition has improved, Avrett has said.

Ping to a thread by aculeus and thanks to FairOpinion on an amazing discovery with some "PVS" patients!

We have always been told there is no recovery from persistent vegetative state - doctors can only make a sufferer's last days as painless as possible. But is that really the truth? Across three continents, severely brain-damaged patients are awake and talking after taking ... a sleeping pill. And no one is more baffled than the GP who made the breakthrough. Steve Boggan witnesses these 'strange and wonderful' rebirths

You pegged it months ago, T'wit. Over a year later some details are coming out. From the article linked in #212 above, here's the confirmation:

Avrett lost custody of her daughter after a former boyfriend was accused of abusing her. According to the suit, Avrett left "the person accused of abusing Haleigh" and planned to regain custody. However, she stated that the Department of Social Services threatened to take her unborn child if she did not sign the adoption papers.

So Haleigh's mother was safe enough to leave a newborn in her care/custody, but not safe enough to leave Haleigh with her? If they thought she was such a terrible mother, how could they leave any child with her?

This story has stunk from the beginning, and it just gets more putrid as more details emerge.

>> Haleigh's mother files lawsuit

Oh, my! Way to go, Wendy Murphy!

I wasn't aware that it was Holli's adoptive mother who shot her. Constance Young, 71; we didn't know her name before. There is little doubt now that Young did the shooting (the earlier stories were vaguely worded). She obviously was waiting for Holli, and shot her the day after she got out on bail. What do you want to bet that Young bought that gun when Holli and Jason were under arrest?

A murder that is so public isn't that difficult to figure out. Terri Schiavo was murdered by Crist's judicial heroes. Take note that Americans have a new grassroots effort and are contacting Florida government in Tallahassee including Jeb Bush to demand a Special Prosecutor to investigate the illegal tv commercial produced for Judge Greer and alleged bankrolling of same by the former Sheriff of Pinellas Cty Everett Rice. Remember Sheriff Rice, he's not one of Crist's heroes but he's Greer's partner in crime. WHY DID SHERIFF EVERETT RICE HIRE MICHAEL SCHIAVO right before Terri died? What motivated all these sleazeballs to kill Terri?

The ILLEGAL TV COMMERCIAL CAN BE VIEWED HERE just click on the plastic VCR case:

Even the Fla Elections Commission is part of the Greer TV ad coverup. They were offered the original videotape that shows the commercial aired on 8-14-04 but they turned it down, suppressing evidence. The Fla Elections Commission have lost their credibility now too.

So, it's either Jeb or Charlie's scandal. But, remember that Judge Greer is Charlie Crist's hero for killing Terri Schiavo. Maybe Jeb will clear this up before Crist gets an opportunity to bury the truth with the aid of democratic friends and trial lawyers.

MOST TV COMMERCIALS DO NOT LEAD TO MURDER. Greer's did.
