Well I guess the number one reason would be that a school nurse should not have the authority to DO ANYTHING other than provide first aid. Number two would be that she should report possible statutory rape. Number three, it should NEVER be her place to determine pregnancy for a minor.

Any other questions you'd like cleared up?

This is a pretty messed up thread.

Number two would be that she should report possible statutory rape. Agreed-- at least to the parents if not the law. Number three, it should NEVER be her place to determine pregnancy for a minor.
I could agree with you if all kids came from a family like mine-- caring parents and family who have the knowledge to assist their children in bad situations. Unfortunately, schools these days have too many kids who
a) are homeless,
b)have parents who literally do not have the minimally required number of brain cells to function as a parent,
c) have parents who are on drugs on a daily basis,
d) have parents who simply do not give a damn about their child(ren). There are too many kids who have been thrown out by their parent(s) and are living with a cousin or grandparents. The world I describe is completely different from the nice one that I grew up in. Sometimes the school is the only resource for help that there is for a kid. It's sad, but true.

HUH?

 

The only question in that whole post, was why you want to crucify someone before you have all of the facts. I don't think you can clear that up.

 

I was merely pointing out that we shouldn't be condemning someone before we know all of the facts. I don't think we have enough of the story to send her to hell yet.

 

From the looks of the state statute, posted by another FReeper, it appears it may indeed be her responsibility. If what I read is true, it appears the politicians have overstepped their bounds and empowered school officials to infringe on our children's privacy and threatened their livelihood if they don't.

 

Perhaps your anger toward the nurse would be better aimed at the political hacks who wrote the state statutes.
