BALTIMORE, Maryland, October 3, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) A mother is furious after discovering that her 16-year-old daughters headaches and soreness were caused by a birth control implant inserted by a school nurse without her consent.
Nicole Lambert was shocked to learn from her daughters pediatrician that the pain her daughter was experiencing had been caused by a tiny tube containing the contraceptive Nexplanon, which had been improperly inserted in her daughters upper arm.
Not only did the doctor recommend that the tube be removed to alleviate the childs discomfort, but he further warned that the contraceptive could cause far worse side-effects, such as blood clots.
I actually started crying because just to hear that your child, anything could happen to your child and you dont even know whats going on, Lambert told WMAR-2 News. Its a scary feeling.
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, said Lambert. Im 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.
They call me for Tylenol, but they don't call me about birth control, continued the concerned mom. You gave my daughter this insertion so she might be suffering from that, but do they even look at that?
Other kids out here could be going through the same thing and their parents dont know about it. And I just think these kids, if they have it incorrectly or whatever it is, they should be checked because anything could happen to these kids, she added.
Disturbed that her daughter and others could, without parental notification, undergo such an invasive medical treatment that comes with potential serious side-effects, Lambert has hired attorney David Ledyard to investigate.
Ms. Lambert wasnt given the choice to pick the medical provider where her daughter would feel comfortable going and receiving these services, who she knew did a comprehensive medical exam, who she knew knew her medical history, Ledyard explained.
There's no transparency in the training or certification of the school health centers, Ledyard told PJ Media.
Are they looking at the medical history of the students and doing a full workup before implanting these devices? asked Ledyard. What is the certification process and training of the nurses?
Lamberts daughter attends Digital Harbor High School, which is home to one of Baltimore Citys 17 School-Based Health Centers (SBHC), several of which offer birth control to students.
According to the Baltimore City Health Department, 164 students were using birth control provided at school during the 20172018 school year, including oral contraceptive pills, Plan B, Depo-Provera, NuvaRing, and Nexplanon.
Marylands health code states, A minor has the same capacity as an adult to consent to treatment for or advice about contraception other than sterilization. Minors are also able to consent to treatment for or advice about drug abuse, alcoholism, venereal disease, and pregnancy, as well as to consent to physical examination and treatment of injuries from or to obtain evidence from an alleged rape or sexual offense.
According to PJ Medias report, the surgery to remove the Nexplanon implant from Lamberts daughter also entailed removing skin and tissue damaged by the device.
Although the Nexplanon implant was inserted into her daughters body without Lamberts knowledge, a doctor could not remove it without Lamberts consent.
It takes a village.
The village elders taking control of people’s lives.
It’s exactly what socialism is about. It’s control over your life. You have no say.
Luckily, we still have time to stop the insanity in the U.S. The fascists are making themselves felt. Nazi Germany is what democrats are taking us towards.
Just from the syntax of the language used, Lambert sounds black. I wonder which political party she votes for, the one wgich mandates what she is so kik upset abput, or the one that doesn’t.
Oh look at you with trying to get all the facts and stuff.
Just when we were having fun not reading and speculatin !
Horrifying!
Abolish government schools.
And, unlike ear piercing or a tattoo, it could be done without parental consent.
If they continue in power, the Democrats will bring abortionists into the schools to kill babies of pregnant teenagers.
They are vaxing kids against pregnancies apparently.
Man did you just hit a hot button.
I voted for Trump among other things to get rid of Common Core.
What the hell happened to that campaign promise?
I’m a hundred percent behind him, but WTF. Indoctrination and the future of this country have long term profound implications.
The daughter is unable to provide consent to waive liability for medical malpractice.
soon to be well off by lawsuit.
How, when Marylands health code states, A minor has the same capacity as an adult to consent to treatment for or advice about contraception other than sterilization.
The school nurse persuades the child that this device is cool and free, and she consents, parents be damned since the State is to have absolute rule in the home under the liberal Left. Proxy servants for the devil.
malpractice, the nurse inserted the device improperly and caused a medical problem.
That nurse has to leave sometime. And Id give her the beat down of her life if that were my kid.
That was my thought exactly.
The question is “what should you do first?” The answer: lawyer.
Public schools are state sanctioned child abusers.
Could be.
If this was my child, I’d definitely be needing a lawyer at some point.
Who was she screwing that she NEEDED one?
