I'm sure she was more concerned about some fruitcake grooming her daughter and telling her to keep it "their little secret" instead... as she should have been.IkeBana » 11 Feb 2023, 8:48 am » wrote: ↑

Lawyers disagree with sane people all across the fruited plain when they go into court sniveling about a stolen election. So let's not hold up lawyers as some sort of arbiters of the truth. Lawyers are in it to win because the more they win, the more money they make. The school's action and the school social worker's service are well within the minor's legal rights statutes of the State of Maine.Selaphobia » 11 Feb 2023, 8:59 am » wrote: ↑ Lawyers disagree with you and argue that the school’s actions are unconstitutional and violate Lavigne’s rights as a parent to direct the education, upbringing, and health care of her child.
Legal confidentiality information does not include providing "chest binders" nor working with teachers to formulate a plan.
"She also learned that school personnel had been involved in socially transitioning her daughter, referring to her by a new name and by male pronouns."
If the teachers and students know, the parents are entitled to the same information.

Really? Like she's schizophrenic or has manic/depressive illness? Mentally ill you say? Just like all the school shooters and mall shooters and music festival shooters and church shooters...mentally ill? Having emotional difficulties may or may not qualify as "mental illness". Perhaps, like other ignoramuses with a **** agenda, you want to pin anybody with any sort of gender identity issue as **** psychotic.

That's not the way mental health works.
No,they were already INSANE! Like you!

Children are legally minors. Parents are responsible and can be held civilly culpable for the actions of their dependent children. As such they have a right to know anything that might effect their child. The state has been eroding parental rights slowly for decades, it's long past time this trend be fought and resisted.IkeBana » 11 Feb 2023, 8:48 am » wrote: ↑ Let's get this straight. When the Great Salt Bay Community School Social Worker provided the "chest binder" to the 13 year old girl and told her that he was not going to tell her parents and that she did not need to tell them either, he was providing legal confidentiality information to that student. Minors in the State of Main have legal rights to confidentiality which includes parents and/or guardians.

Minors have confidentiality rights in all 50 states and have for decades...so lets not be blaming this on recent events or some **** suggestion that it has something to do with Trumpism. Age is the only difference between any of the states and the average age across the country for mental health confidentiality is 12 years.Neo » 11 Feb 2023, 11:47 am » wrote: ↑ Children are legally minors.

Just what some poor 15 year old girl who's daddy, the christian church elder and police sergeant, has been raping her since she was 11, needs is for the school social worker, to go running to daddy to see if she's lying.
I just said the usurpation of parental rights has been a slow and incremental process over the last few decades. When I was in elementary school the nurse couldn't give a Tylenol without parental consent and approval. Now they are hiding gender dysphoria. Also concealing unsafe and often illegal activities like drug addiction, alcohol use, and sex with adults. This needs to be reversed, parental rights restored. Only exception should be cases of suspected abuse that is being actively investigated by law enforcement.IkeBana » 11 Feb 2023, 12:46 pm » wrote: ↑ Minors have confidentiality rights in all 50 states and have for decades...so lets not be blaming this on recent events or some **** suggestion that it has something to do with Trumpism.
