    In what scenario would a parent going “do not treat my teens STI in defiance of the treatment they are actively seeking” not be abuse and neglect.

          No it’s too keep parental sexual abuse from being reported as much. If Dad and daughter have the same strain of sti that’s a mandatory report, if they need permission they’ll never seek reported help and you can’t draw a line from a to b as easily.

      No, you’re missing the point. Right now, teens can get tested with discretion and without notifying the parents or the tests being added to a medical file. This is so that teens don’t feel too scared of getting in trouble if they get tested, so they don’t and thus increase the risk of an outbreak, a far worse outcome than the fact that Chad and Tina did the hanky panky before marriage. This individual wants parents to be notified if their children are sexually active, bringing us back to square one.

      Some parents might not want the doctor asking questions about where exactly the STD came from, if you know what I mean.
