Update: No Schavio abuse

Snip: <State investigators in Florida have found no clear evidence that Terri Schiavo was denied rehabilitation, neglected or otherwise abused, according to documents released yesterday by the state's Department of Children and Families.

The agency completed nine reports of abuse accusations made from 2001 to 2004, including neglect of hygiene, denial of dental care, poisoning and physical harm. The accusations, which have been widely reported, focus on Michael Schiavo, the husband of Terri. Ms. Schiavo died on March 30, nearly two weeks after her feeding tube was removed. "The maltreatments of abuse and or neglect have been vigorously investigated and closed with no indicators with the investigation complete," one of the reports concludes. Others come to similar conclusions.

Lawyers for Mr. Schiavo and the Schindlers did not return calls seeking comment. >

1. Thanks

It's great to know that's been cleared up. Though I doubt those in the media beating who were their war drums will apologize or even acknowledge it, ignoring the truth is so much easier.

[FreedomAngel82]

2. Of course not

Why else haven't there been any updates? :eyes:

I'm feeling very welcome. :)

3. Out of 89 complaints against Michael

all were found unfounded. The right wing nutsos owe Terri's choice of
a husband a big apology.

5. They never will

I still wish Mr. Schavio would sue every one of their asses for their slandering remarks. I'm sure he probably wants to just get on with his life though. That's why it's up to us, I think, to spread this around. I did to another board that had a lot of republicans on there to show them their people were big fat liars.

4. "But those were liberal activist investigators!"

I can hear the right wing now...

[FreedomAngel82]

6. Yep

Blame liberals and democrats for everything. :eyes: Go figure!

7. Florida's family services have been 100% under Jeb

He even claimed that department as his department to control and fix. Of course, he's done neither. But he made it a campaign promise. But Bushs' and camppaign promises have nothing to do with each other.

8. Again Judge Greer ordered family services files to be opened

No foundation for 89 charges against Michael. None at all.

9. What they did to Michael Schiavo was criminal...

I remember that they made accusations about her legs being broke. They insinuated that he broke her legs!

Terri's sister, on Larry King Live, said that they had evidence that Michael strangled Terri.

I have such contempt for those "parents." They were like mafia members! Total thugs.

I understand them grieving for their daughter. I understand their pain and also their disagreement with Michael.

What I don't understand is their litany of accusations against Michael that were never true and totally unfounded.

They made this stuff up, to get their way. They lied, repeatedly--not giving a damn about what it was doing to Michael Schiavo--the man their daughter married!

I'm sorry, but these people are such scum!

To try and get your way--by lying, and going on Larry King Live and telling the world that you have evidence that Michael strangled Terri--is just so warped and so evil.

Michael Schiavo handled all of this with such grace and dignity. The Schiavos could learn a thing or two about Christianity and humanity from Michael's example--if they'd quit behaving like rabid wolves for five seconds.

10. This should be the topic of a media blaster.

Those pieces of shit should be FORCED to cover this after making us all endure the weeks of endless inuendo about Michael.

[FreedomAngel82]

11. I agree

And people were sending DEATH THREATS to judges and Mr. Schavio and his family! This was the most disgusting thing. I can't believe how they've swept this under the rug. I wish there was something we could do besides spreading the word.

[Erika]

12. We can pray for peace

Let the right wingers continue their violent vengeance and threats.

[sonicx]

13. Probably a liberal coverup...

We're everywhere. Boo! :crazy:

[Freedom_from_Chains]

14. Of course as we all know this is just a big government coverup

Brought to you by the culture of death. Yep, actually Michael was just kicking the shit out of Terri daily but that was how Judge Greer wanted it.

17. Stick a fork in it!

Well that just sticks a fork in all those wacky accusations against Mr. Shiavo, now doesn't it!

:crazy:

20. Hi Anthropologist!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Did you see where one of the complainers

called to say Terri's stomach was infected where the feeding tube went in and when the investigator asked her if she had seen the infection, she said no, she had heard about it on a Yahoo chat board!!

:rofl: :wtf: :rofl: :wtf: :rofl: :wtf: :rofl: :wtf: :rofl: :wtf: :rofl: :wtf:

[kskiska]

19. Also, it appears that most of the complaints came in

during the publicized controversy over the feeding tube removal. One report even said that a lot of the e-mails used the exact same wording. It's obvious they were sent by Freepers.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Those poor freepers

are too stupid to write their own emails LOL

[FreedomAngel82]

21. AHAHAHHA!

How pathetic! You trust a yahoo message board over real doctors who have worked on the issue? What a joke!
