How can the government force someone to sign a consent ? While I'm not sure about this treatment it should be a parents decision. Funny though. 16 year olds can make other health care decisions according to the government (abortion/bc).

But isn't permitted to take an aspirin without parental agreement. Yeah, quite insane, this whole mess.
I suggest to the parents (and the youth) that they flip the bird at the court and leave the jurisdiction.

If the judge is going to say that their consent doesn't matter, he can nullify the need for their consent. If he lacks the power to do that, he should lack the power to force them to give consent.

Yes, abortion uber alles. However, there may be parental consent laws in the state involved here.
