Jason Strickland is charged with assault in the 2005 beating of Haleigh Poutre. Prosecutors say Strickland and his late wife, Holli, participated in abuse that culminated in a beating that left the 11-year-old girl with a severe brain injury.
The case has sparked a right-to-die debate in Massachusetts when child welfare officials received court permission to remove her feeding tube. Haleigh, now 14, survived.
As usual, too little too late from yet another state child welfare agency. Now their remedy is to "pull the plug" on an unnecessarily damaged child. When is the state going to get it right?
