She had it removed after experiencing side effects
BALTIMORE — A mother learned her 16-year-old daughter received a birth control implant at school after the teen started complaining about headaches and a pain in her arm.
Nicole Lambert sent her daughter to get checked out by a pediatrician. The doctor notified her that the three-year contraceptive, Nexplanon, had been improperly implanted in her daughter's arm and it needed to be removed.
According to paperwork on Merck's website, the maker of Nexplanon, the implant should go on the inside of the upper arm. Photos show Lambert's daughter had the implant near the back of arm. Her doctor advised taking the implant out to avoid possible complications, including blood clots.
"I instantly started crying because just to hear that your child, anything could happen to your child and you didn't even know what's going on, it's a scary feeling," Lambert said.
The tiny tube was removed a few days later.
"I actually went to the school. I was furious. I was mad, so I went to the school and the nurse told me, 'I don't have to talk to you about absolutely nothing.' I'm like that is my child, I take care of this child, you can talk to me about my child, and they put me out of the school," said Lambert.
Birth control dispensed in city schools The state law permitting minors to receive contraceptive services confidentially dates back nearly 50 years. And several of Baltimore City's 17 School-Based Health Centers (SBHC) provide reproductive health care services.

That school should be shut down immediately and sued for any and all the money they have left. Also the principal should be put in jail for abusing the children.
Of course it wasn’t done without the girl’s knowledge, but that doesn’t mean she asked for it.
Someone at the school probably told her to go the nurse’s station, where the nurse told her she has to do this procedure.
But I had not read this until You posted

Believe it or not but some of us do not have the luxury of spending hours on here going back to yesterday to read all stories
I had not read this story anf would not if Morgana had not posted.
Folks, how many more stories like this need to be posted for people to realize that all leftists (i.e. Democrats) are you enemies and that includes family, friends, and neighbors?

And on this point you would be wrong.
"The state law permitting minors to receive contraceptive services confidentially dates back nearly 50 years."
If certain parents went in the Nurse would have needed a team of doctors.....
“If certain parents went in the Nurse would have needed a team of doctors.....”
Which is exactly what needs to start happening.

Yep - here’s hoping the mother sues the nurse for medical malpractice that caused harm....see if she wants to talk about that....
I’m sooooo glad the school thought to involve the parents. /sarc
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
“Oh how we burned in the camps later...”
surprise surprise!
I’m glad we were able to homeschool our boys until 10th grade. Too many schools are run by professionals who behave like Banned Parenthood pervs. The first Parenthood they ban, is yours.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
