Ten year-old Joshua
Heldreth was arrested on Good Friday in March 2005 for attempting to bring a
drink of water to Terri Schaivo . Terri died of purposeful dehydration a few
days later. Josh's picture adorned the front pages of several newspapers
nationwide, as the picture showed him being handcuffed by the Pinellas Park
Police officers and taken to jail. Joshua was represented in court by
attorneys at the American Family Association. Joshua pleaded out and was
sentenced to 25 hours of community service and commanded to write an apology
for his actions. Here is his apology in full.
Read this little boy's "apology" for trying to bring a
cup of water to a starving Terri Schiavo... God bless him and his family for
instilling the values of what a child can teach us all...
