Then what else can a minor as young as 12 consent to?
Getting treated for STDs in CA legislation. I've also seen a few things - maybe one was in CT? - that would let minors start hormone therapy through the school without parental knowledge/consent.
And if not the minor, then who? Does the state consent on behalf of the minor? Are the shots given by force in the case a minor doesn’t want a shot?
Great questions.
might be trying to use the same rules that let doctors and nurses give 12 year old girls birth control, are there even rules that allow that?
That's a really good question - and I don't know the answer. I DO know that they want to greatly expand medical/psych treatment in schools, so it wouldn't surprise me if birth control services would be included in that.
