Florida seems to be just a little double-minded....

I am not casting aspersions on this couple, as I know that there are conditions that cause some to binge eat constantly if they can find a way to do so, and I know that there are families that for medical reasons have locks on cupboards and refrigerators, etc. Having cared for some developmentally disabled children, I have also seen these beds described which are NOT being used to abuse the children, young adults, etc, but to protect them. That said... it is also possible that there is a case.

My point is NOT this case, but the CHARGES......
Adoptive parents accused of starving 17-year-old son
AKRON, Ohio - (KRT) -
A former Akron couple who moved to Jacksonville, Fla., in October were in Duval County Jail on Wednesday - accused of starving their adoptive 17-year-old son and locking him in a cage-like crib.
Brenda and Wilson Sullivan were arrested Tuesday on felony child neglect charges that carry a maximum of 15 years in jail.


Very strange that this is a felony, but what Michael Schiavo is intending to do to his wife is 'merciful' and court-ordered. Hasn't he also in many ways 'locked her in a cage' by not allowing her out of her room, into the bright Florida sunshine for years?

Double-minded Florida... which way do you want it? Starving is merciful? Or starving is a felony?
