Nifster,
Under this law, a custodial parent can be at risk for performing their ordinary parenting duties.
Since when is obtaining your child’s medical records an indication that parent is a risk of abduction?
It is much more likely that it indicates that they are changing doctors.
It is an act all parents (custodial and noncustodial) do to be a good parent.
Since when is obtaining your child’s school records an indication that a parent is a likely child abductor? IT IS NOT.
It is an act done by all good parents.
Was this bill written by children who get bad report cards?
Sheesh.
...
And a parent obtaining their child’s birth certificate?
First of all, most parents already have that at home and on file. But they probably only have one copy.
When a divorce happens, the other parent obtaining a copy for their records is natural. It does not indicate child abduction is imminent.
Or, say a storm comes along (Katrina, Sandy, etc.) and damages your existing files. Getting a new record is not an indication of abduction.
This law is WAAAAAY out of bounds.
