Interesting angle. I'm sure at that age most children don't really understand what's going on, but allegations that your dad is trying to kill his wife probably don't earn you too much street cred at the school playground.

Not having known Terri - and still having their biological mother (as opposed to divorce/stepmom scenario) - probably removes a lot of the personal aspect for the children. BUt they'll always be known as the kids Michael Schiavo had while his wife was veggie - and that could have some traumatic implications in the future. I just hope Schiavo is being honest with a) his children, and b) the rest of the world.
