Here is a case happening in my neck of the woods.
JACKSONVILLE, FL — 34-year old Scott Thomas married Liza Thomas in 2001.
They bought a home and had a baby boy.
But one September day, paramedics found Scott on his kitchen floor with several hairline fractures down the left side of his head.
Scott spent two months in a coma.
Scott’s mom, Pamela Patton, says Liza had plans to put Scott in Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, so she filed for temporary guardianship in November and won.
For months, Pamela took care of Scott in her home, and worked with him every day.
"He watches you, he listens, he smiles, he cries," said Patton.
Six weeks ago, Scott’s traech was removed. Now he’s in Brooks Rehabilitation.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking.
Patton’s guardianship could end in a few weeks.
Patton fears Liza will remove Scott’s feeding tube.
The Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation has stepped in.
"They don’t wish to poke their noses into somebody else’s business, but they do want to plead to this woman to please think about what she’s doing," said Pamela Hennessy, spokeswoman for the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation.
The Foundation is urging DCF to investigate the circumstances surrounding Scott’s injuries.
According to Patton, Liza says Scott fell in the kitchen, but doctors tell Scott’s mother his injuries are consistent with a head trauma, not a fall. [Source]

eerily familiar
Expect more of this to happen as time goes on. Difficult to unring that bell.
These same charges and suspicions were leveld against Terri’s husband, and if memory serves me correctly an autopsy revealed the charges to be baseless.
Abuse or no, why are we pulling feeding tubes on handicapped people?
Yes, when did food and water become medicine?
Eric,
The autopsy results have not been revealed as of this time.
Has Scott’s wife Liza said she’s going to pull his feeding tube for sure? I’d hate to see everyone pounce on her when she’s still trying to deal with a baby and a husband with medical problems. Did she whack him a good one? Regardless of what the truth is, this case should be monitored, and at no point should this mans life be taken because the little woman says it’s time for him to go. If his mother is willing to care for him, this little gal can devorce him and move on. Trying to “legally” kill him is just so very sick, and beyond sad.( She sound’s like she might be a black widow, maybe?)
unfortunately we see this again, very similar to the Terri Schindler Schiavo case.
The circumstances should have been investigated further when this first happened, especially since doctors tell a different story than that of Scotts wife.
A few questions:
Is Scott’s life heavily insured?
Are the police inquiring into the matter of how he came by several skull fractures?
Does Liza have a cast-iron frying pan in her kitchen by any chance?
