Hands off our children!

*** begin quote ***
The real issue is when can the state can intervene into family issues and how “neglect” is defined?
Does a 13-year-old boy, with parental agreement, have the right to refuse chemotherapy?
If not, why does a 13-year-old girl, without parental consent (or notification), have the right to birth control or an abortion? In reality, her right to abortion is subtle state permission for her to have sex – although sex with a minor is illegal.
Yet the same girl can’t get an aspirin from the school nurse without parental consent.
Perhaps that’s to make the parents feel they have some authority.
*** end quote ***
I’m hard pressed to take the control of children from parents and give it to the gooferment.
