BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) - Lawyers for the biological mother of an 11-year-old girl still struggling for life months after allegedly being severely beaten by her adoptive parents said Wednesday they will ask a court for more input on the girl's medical care.
Attorneys for Haleigh Poutre's birth mother, Allison Avrett, said they plan to file motions in Hampden Juvenile Court to intervene in the case and get access to Haleigh's medical records.
Avrett said state Department of Social Services officials have repeatedly rebuffed her attempts to join them in deciding the girl's care. When Haleigh's condition recently improved, state officials dropped their plans to remove life support and placed her in a rehabilitation hospital.
