Minor Consent Violations With Tricia Lindsay, Esq.

Should children be allowed to consent to medical procedures without the knowledge of their parents? For example, when kids are offered vaccines at school-based health centers, should the staff be required to communicate that to the legal guardian? Who is responsible for communicating family history to those administering care? What happens when a child is injured by a certain product or operation? And on whom does the financial and caretaking burden fall in such a situation? Listen to a detailed deliberation on these matters and to learn how the courts are fighting back against threats to the “vulnerable” younger generations in this episode of ‘Good Morning CHD.’
