    Default School Inserts Birth Control Implant Without Parental Consent

    This is another insanity story. And how the hell can this be legal? If I found out that my kid came home from high school one day, and I found out they performed some kind of procedure on him and inserted anything.

    Teen Experiences Serious Complications after School Inserts Birth Control Implant Without Parental Consent

    Recently, a mother of a Digital Harbor High School student in Baltimore, Md., was shocked and dismayed to discover that her daughter was suffering complications from an implanted birth control device that she didn't even know was there. Nicole Lambert's then-sixteen-year-old daughter was complaining of arm pain, so her mother took her to the pediatrician, who discovered that an improperly inserted Nexplanon birth control device was the culprit. It was the school nurse who inserted it.

    A mother learned her 16-year-old daughter received a birth control implant at school after the teen started complaining about headaches and a pain in her arm.https://t.co/Qh2K2z4xYA

    — WMAR-2 News (@WMAR2News) October 1, 2019
    PJ Media reached out to the Lambert's attorney, David Ledyard, for comment. "There's no transparency in the training or certification of the school health centers," he said. "Are they looking at the medical history of the students and doing a full workup before implanting these devices? What is the certification process and training of the nurses?"

    Ledyard has been trying to get this information from the school but has been stonewalled for over a month. Lambert has put in a formal request for her daughter's medical file, but the school has yet to turn it over.

    "It's important to [the mother] that this is not about birth control. If her daughter had needed it, she would have consented to get it," said Ledyard. Lambert's main issue is with what the school did — implanting Nexplanon is an invasive procedure that should require oversight by a parent. The mother told ABC, "They call me for Tylenol, but they don't call me about birth control." And in this case, it caused a major problem that required surgical removal.

    This nurse should go to jail. At our school , we don't even allow our nurses to hand out so much as an aspirin if there isn't a signed parental consent form. I mean Jesus Christ.

    I've never gotten this. Schools cannot give out tylenol, aspirin, even with oral parent permission-must be in writing and under what circumstances it should be administered.

    Now, if I had a child that wanted birth control, I'd certainly give them a talk about consequences beyond pregnancy, but would make sure they were covered.

    That is MY CHOICE over my child. No one else, including the government via the schools, should be able to usurp my choices.

    Was this something the schoolgirl asked for?
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    If it’s not known then fair enough.

    What is the age of consent for medical procedures in the US?
    Here a 16 year old can consent to their own treatment.

    Age of consent varies from state to state as I recall.

    This appears to be a list of ages of consent for sex, not medical treatment, or are both considered the same?

    This is complicated, but pretty much mirrors the other link I presented.
    Good luck wading through it.

    Maryland Minor Consent Laws

    Contraception

    A minor (i.e., a person under the age of 18) has the same capacity as an adult to consent to treatment for or advice about contraception other than sterilization [Md. Code Ann., Health-Gen. II § 20-102(c)(1)- (5)]


    The health care provider may, but need not, give a parent, guardian, or custodian of the minor or the spouse of the parent information about treatment needed by the minor or provided to the minor, except information about an abortion [Md. Code Ann., Health-Gen. II § 20-102(f)]
    Seems pretty clear cut.

    Yes, and it’s in Maryland that this event happened.

    Otherwise the child falls under the parents wishes regardless of said child wanting birth control.
