I am not sure if I am a ‘normal’ parent or not but after being a practicing RN for over 20 years, I would say, “No thank you!”
Whether it be through Common Core or medical laws, there are growing concerns that progressives are looking to take parents out of the equation whenever and wherever possible. The plight of the Pelletier family (when their daughter was put into a psych ward for a medical disorder) is one recent warning of what is just around the corner unless we all wake up.
THE GOVERNMENT OWNS YOUR CHILD
This challenge to parental rights is not new.
Christy Duffy was unpleasantly surprised when she took her daughter to the doctor in 2014. When she arrived in the office, a notice on the door terrified and angered her.
Needless to say this mom was not happy with the notice or the nurse’s insistence that there was no way for her to opt out…
I asked if this policy was in effect and if so, how could I opt out. The receptionist told me it’s a new law and there is no opting out. Working to keep my cool, I said, “I’m sure there is.” She said, “No, there isn’t.” At which point I asked if I needed to leave and go to the urgent care center because I was not submitting my daughter to such a conversation.
That did not go over well.
The receptionist closed the window. Almost immediately, the office manager turned the corner and said, “Mrs. Duffy, may I speak with you?” She said there was a new policy that would allow a child to access his/her medical records online and the child would be allowed to block a parent from viewing the website.
The nurse would also inform my children that the doctor’s office is a safe place for them to receive information about STDs, HIV, and birth control. That is what the nurse would be chatting about with my children without any pesky parental oversight. I kindly informed her that no one would be talking with my children privately, and I needed to know how to opt out of this policy before bringing Amy back for her physical next month….
Make sure this is crystal clear: what they want to do is talk to your child about sex and drugs (maybe rock and roll – who knows?) without your input. Is it really such a stretch to imagine that a doctor who does not value abstinence before marriage would encourage your daughters – as young as 12! – to receive birth control? Is it really such a stretch to imagine a nurse telling a young boy – because a 12 year old boy is a BOY – that she will give him condoms so he can be “safe”? Is this what you want told to your children without the ability to filter the info through your world view?
Should a doctor ever ask to speak to a child without a parent present? If he/she suspects abuse, then, of course. But short of evidence of abuse, a doctor should not need to speak to a child alone. I am the Mom. I will pick who can talk to my kids about sex and drugs. And rock-n-roll for that matter.
Read the rest of the blog post here. When these things happen (and they happen all too frequently) I hope harassed and abused parents and kids will raise the alarm for others! We are losing our freedoms and privacy right and left and must stand our ground.
STRIPPING AWAY PARENTAL RIGHTS
The law might sound reasonable to some on the face of it, but with just a little thought one should see potential long-term consequences for you and your child.
By allowing these people ‘private’ time with adolescent children, it strips away the rights of parents.
Why would the government want to do this?
