[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to tell the mother what you know -- not what you've concluded, but what you actually know/observed/heard/seen.

I think the mother will be supportive.  But, if she denies or accuses you, then the correct thing to do is  contact the school counselor.  You do not take the 13 yr. old to get birth control -- not that you could anyway b/c she is a minor and would need parents permission to be treated by a doctor.

You are incorrect.

A 13 year old does not need her parents' permission or even knowlege to get birth control, an abortion or treated for an STD.

It is unfortunate but this is the ridiculously stupid world we live in that puts a political issue ahead of the health, safety, well being and future of what are essentially children.[/quote]

It's interesting that you should say that, because I think that allowing 13-year-olds to get the health care they need actually is putting their health, safety, well-being, and future first.[/quote]

I'm the PP who suggested that the 13 couldn't receive medical treatment without a parent's permission.  Even if what the other PP says is true, wouldn't the doctor need to report the sexual abuse of this child to the police -- it is a felony in Md and Va.?  Seems like this would qualify under mandatory reporting laws.[/quote]
