Delay Sought in Schiavo Tube Removal

TAMPA, Fla. - An attorney for the parents of Terri Schiavo say
Florida's social services agency is seeking a 60-day delay in the removal of
the woman's feeding tube while it investigates new allegations of her
abuse and neglect.

Matt Davis, with the law firm representing Bob and Mary Schindler, said
Thursday the 11-page confidential document was shared with attorneys in
the life-or-death legal battle between the Schindlers and their
daughter's husband, Michael Schiavo. A spokesman for the Department of
Children & Families declined to comment.
