There's a new twist in the fight to control the fate of a 16-year-old lying in a permanent coma in a Bronx hospital - the girl's father now wants to be named co-guardian.
The parents of the girl, Javona Peters, have disagreed on whether to remove a feeding tube and end what's left of her life.
Janet Joseph, who is in favor of "letting Javona go in peace," previously filed papers seeking sole guardianship of her daughter.
On Friday, Javona's father, Leonard Peters, who has not made a firm decision about taking that final step, filed a cross petition asking that he be appointed co-guardian.
