Aren’t There Sanctions for Scurrilous Complaints?

In a fascinating Washington Post article, records of allegations of abuse my Michael Schiavo are reported.

In at least one case, the caller found the evidence of Terri Schiavo’s alleged abuse on the Internet. In January 2004, a female caller reported that Terri Schiavo had an infection on her stomach, at the site of her feeding tube, that was not being treated. But, when questioned, she said she had no first-hand knowledge. She “stated that her information on current infections and lack of treatment was from Yahoo chatline,” the report said.

I’m pretty sure if I were to try this on 911, on a slow night I might get a visit from a police officer who would explain the purpose of 911 to me in a not too polite way.

What strikes me as well is that Michael Schiavo has the material for several thousand libel lawsuits if he so wished.
