[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does not sound like a case of abuse to me.

“According to the report, two female students, both minors at the time, allege that school officials, including social worker Carolina Diaz, arranged abortions at Fairfax Healthcare Center without parental consent. One student, a 17-year-old 11th-grade student, claims Diaz scheduled her appointment, paid the clinic's fees, and instructed her to keep the procedure secret. The abortion allegedly took place in November 2021.

A second student, five months pregnant, says Diaz told her that she "had no choice" but to proceed with an abortion. That student fled the clinic, unwilling to go through with the procedure, and later confided in her teacher, Zenaida Perz, who provided Curt with an audio recording of the family confirming that the school never informed them of the intent to terminate their daughter's pregnancy.

Under Virginia state law, a physician is required to certify in writing that at least one parent has been notified before performing an abortion on a minor, unless a judicial bypass is obtained. “[/quote]

So…wouldn’t we be mad at the physician in this case? I don’t understand how making an appointment is an issue. [/quote]

Would you want the school scheduling your child's appointments?

The school should not be involved in this in any way--other than to refer the child to CPS.
This is for the protection of the child and the school.  Schools should not be involved.
I was an elementary teacher.  We reported cases of abuse and then we were "out of it."  Why?  Because it is not good for the family to blame the school.  It should be handled outside the school.

In this instant, it is the same.  Just look.  Who is everyone upset with?  The girl?  The family?  No.  They are upset with the school system.  
Perhaps the school system did follow the rules, perhaps not.  Nevertheless, there are rules.[/quote]
