Sorry, but the “rules of the hospital” don’t override my liberty and civil rights. They’re not my legal guardian, and they’re certainly not the legal guardian of my children, so unless I see a court order saying I can’t leave, they can KMA, and if they try to stop me from leaving, I’ll sue their behinds off.
That's all very true. It may not be wise, but it is true.
Sorry but they do.

All it takes is the stroke of a pen by a medical practitioner. You are effectively non compos mentis and your child effectively a ward of the state. I'm not talking abstract, just real world. Try it. It will unseal your eyes.
