Haleigh Poutre Update

Topics: Euthanasia

Gov. Mitt Romney's investigation:

Haleigh Poutre has been in state custody since she was hospitalized in September, when authorities say she was beaten into a coma by her adoptive mother -- who later died in what authorities said was an apparent murder-suicide with her grandmother -- and stepfather.

About a week after taking custody, the Department of Social Services sought permission to remove her from life support when her doctors said she was in a persistent vegetative state.

This needs to stay in the public eye!
