[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 212599, member: 1233"] I missed that part of the Children's rights thing, I guess I only picked up on the homeschool thing. Yeah, tell my kid he didn't have to take his medications. Sure. Go right ahead. and in private I will ASSURE him he will take them or I will hold the pill in the pliers and shove it down his throat like I pill the cat. Yes, I DID tell Wiz that at one point. He was joking about refusing medications - and was already refusing a LOT of other stuff. I told him if he called CPS that he better pack while they are driving over. Cause he was NOt being abused. And that medications are not an option. I always gave him input on hte medications as far as listening to him on side effects and how they made him feel. But it was MY and husband's decision on medications, with the docs. I have an aunt who actually spent 2 HOURS begging her 3yo to take a dose of tylenol for a 103 degree fever. He kept refusing. (My aunt's son is 6 months older than Wiz, so we had the kids together a lot.). I walked over and said "Open up." He said NO very loudly. As he was saying it I popped the squirty thing in his mouth. Yeah, some came out, and he was upset. But he felt better in just a few minutes. I looked at him and said to HER that medications are the ADULT decision, and letting him say NO to them is not helpful. She was upset, but later apologized. I refused to apologize - we were going to have to take the kid to the hospital if the fever didn't go down. I HATE people who say that kids have the right to refuse medical care. School can't give kids a BAND-AID with-o calling home but kids can refuse medical treatment at a hospital? I LOVE life in OK. Kids are kids until age 18. If a kid wants to fight medical treatment there is a HUGE court thing the kid has to initiate. ANd as a general rule kids do not win. They can't block us out of IEP's, medical records, anything. Heck, Jess couldn't even SEE her medical records at one doctor office until I approved it. I am very sorry other states make it so hard to parent your children, but still make you responsible for the consequences of their actions. That is just pitiful and stupid. (Not you, the system that makes that happen.) And the 9yo boy who refused healthcare adn them killed another child. My G*D, I don't think I could live through that. I really HOPE that JUDGE ends up paying in karma for that. [/QUOTE]
