Blue state pushing new law that gives non-family members a say in YOUR child’s medical care without telling YOU

As it stands, many schools cannot even give your child Advil without parental consent. However, in what some see as a progressive effort to undermine parental rights, the state of California is working on a bill that would allow unrelated adults to make medical decisions for children.

Why does this seem like a very, very bad idea?

According to The Post Millennial:

A bill working its way through the California State Legislature would allow individuals not related to a child in the state to consent to medical care for a minor, potentially without informing the child’s legal guardians.

I am just curious, does “medical care” also include trans affirming procedures? Because something tells me it may or may not….

The bill, AB495, passed the Assembly on June 3 in a 62 to 7 vote. It is now in the state Senate, where hearings are set for July 1 and 7. Celeste Rodriguez introduced the legislation in the Assembly.

“Nonrelative extended family member” is defined in the legislation as being “any adult caregiver who has an established familial or mentoring relationship with the child or who has an established familial relationship with a relative of the child.” Examples include teachers, medical professionals, clergy, neighbors, and family friends.

Right. Because neighbors or teachers can totally make decisions for children, even though their parents have known them since birth. Makes total sense. I’m sure this is definitely in the children’s best interest—and not a loophole to override parental rights. Nope. I seriously doubt it.

The amended caregiver’s authorization affidavit includes a section in which a caregiver is required to check a box that states they have either advised the minor’s parent about their intent to authorize medical care, or that “I am unable to contact the parent(s) or other person(s) having legal custody of the minor at this time, to notify them of my intended authorization.”

The fact that this bill is touted as “supporting immigrant families” — despite doing nothing of the sort — is truly astonishing.
