[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 97064, member: 1169"] Same here, Kanga had her rights explained to her at age 12. Just what a defiant child needs, power. The therapist demanded that Kanga be present when the results of her psychological evaluation were presented to me. We were in the waiting room when they told us this and I very calmly told Kanga to get her coat on because we were leaving. They were shocked, didn't I understand that Kanga had the legal right to make her own mental health decisions? that she was entitled to all of the info so she could make an informed decision? I nearly growled at them that she was a very depressed, very fragile child (who was functioning at a 7-8 yr old level) and they wanted (a) to tell her all the things the testing found wrong with her and (b) encourage her to make her own medical decisions. Let's take a child who has issues trusting adults and convince her that she is right, that we think she is more capable of making huge decisions than her parents. It is nuts! [/QUOTE]
