    And verily I sayeth unto thee, that when you receive chlamydia upon the left cheek, turn the right cheeketh unto thee wherefore to receive the blessed yeast unto thine other cheek. And so the Lord spoketh unto thine lips, and she received the blessed herpes, and this, as it was written, was pleasing unto Him.

    Oh this is a great way to get out of control std outbreaks to go along with making measles great again.

      Even if the STI spread through consensual sex down a chain of people close enough in age that it’s not abusive, and even if the parents would have gotten the kid treated, the fact that they’d beat the kid for having had sex means the kid will never tell, not get treated, and further spread the STI.

  • This is the purpose of patient-doctor privilege, since it is beneficial to the community that people come to be treated (say for STIs even if they were transmitted during unlawful action, say, sex with underaged persons) It’s the doc’s job to treat patients regardless of parental consent.

    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, 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.

        Yup. I remember my professor saying that if a 12 year-old comes positive for giardiasis, it’s from sexual assault.

          giardiasis, is a parasitic infection from contaminated food or water? do you mean gonnorhea, i did look it up just in case, and its usually oral-anal route, or MSM(men sex with men)(i assume the penetrator gets the parasite from the recievers poop particles. seems quite difficult to get it for the Victim.

          there was a SVU episode where they had a little girl that was infected with gonnorhea, she was under 12 yo.

      That’s the problem with these people. They’re always worried about other people’s shit. Just completely incapable of minding their own business.

        I used to always ask of an old conservative friend,“How do you deal with your side’s hypocrisy. Talking as much about personal freedom as taking away personal freedom.” Now, this was decades ago, when you could still have rational discussions with the wrong side. I mean, compared to today’s wacko world. Usually, their answer would fall back eventually to the bible. So I guess, not really rational at all I suppose.

          remember when r/conspiracy wasnt filled with maga/political shit, and you could actually have semi-rational discussion about other stuff. before politics infilitrated the sub. it was pretty much before the pandemic like around the time when trump took power the first time.

    So, basically, she wants parents to have the right to let their children suffer and possibly die. What a lovely human being.

    I was going to quote individual parts to complain about, but there are just too many. It goes deeper than medical treatment. Read the article if you haven’t already.

    Is the consent needed to fix a broken arm? Inform them of the treatment, sure; consent weird.
