Being an agent is one thing, but they believed she was the "director of forensics". That's a stretch for someone so young.
As much as I would love to engage in this grade school game of "you're a this", and "your a that", and "you're turning our society into a sewer" (not sure where that comment came from, but whatever), I will stick to the story at hand. The fact is that this girl did something that is legal. No one here did anything illegal.
As for having our laws reflect our morals, whose morals do you believe should dictate the law. You're no idiot, so you understand that everyone has different beliefs and morals. Some are more common sense than others, nonetheless, everyone is different.
I work in the medical field, and when we have prescriptions that the kids would have to take during school hours, they ALWAYS need a doctors note for the school to administer. Parental consent is not enough, they need a doctors note. A lot of people on here are bringing up situations of taking medication at school. Where this particular situation is different than taking medication, it's all about patient rights.
This is where I tell you that YOU are wrong. "In the eyes of the law" this girl does have the right to make her own decisions, medically speaking. She can go to the doctor and seek treatment without her parents knowing what it is about. Mom signed a consent to consult/treat, that's what happened. She may be a minor, but she has these rights, "particularly when it comes to her health". Dont' like it? Try to change the law. No one here did anything illegal.
Ibuprofen with parent's consent? No, they would need doctor's consent. The child (as long as she is over 13 yrs old) can get doctor permission for ibuprofen from her doctor without her parent's even knowing. The school requires doctor consent for medication administration, not the parent's consent. Like it or not, that's the way it is.
But it is legal. They didn't do anything wrong.
Thank you! Well put. This clinic would have been in so much trouble if they had informed the parents of this without the girl's consent.
Unfortunately for you, the law disagrees. Legally, the mother does not have any rights in this case. Legally, her daughter is allowed to do this, whether mom wants her to or not. No matter whether you are pro-choice, or pro-life, the law is the law. Luckily this girl actually did seek medical attention, and went about this through those channels, rather than others that we hear about who end up hiding the pregnancy all along and throwing the baby out in the trash can or something.
And, I'm sorry but, "you suck"? What are you - 5 years old?
Maybe - just maybe - the article discusses the Bogues because they were scammed by this group! (surprised gasps) It's hard to discuss a group who goes around scamming people if there are no victims making complaints. This story was about what the Washington Resolution Trust did. If you want people to not reply regarding the Bogues specifically (whom you've already written off as deadbeats, without knowing much about them) then maybe - just maybe - your first post should NOT have been focused on them (which it was).
I'm glad to see that you didn't let your childhood altercation color the rest of your life experiences. I hope this girl can do the same. With her mom being so "proud" of her, I have the unfortunate feeling that she will feel she did nothing wrong, and may actually repeat this behavior in some manner. We can all hope that she actually learns from this though.
