Once my kid cut his butt cheek falling off his bike (to this day I don't know how). I brought him to the hospital for sutures, and was asked to live the room while he was questioned. I felt very uncomfortable, and almost guilty, while this lasted for all of 5 minutes.

I cannot imagine losing custody of your child while he's in an emergency situation for a couple months. This must be a nightmare.

Is that even legal ?

Anyone trying to get between my kids and I is going to have a very bad day.

Sorry, you think in a case where the doctor suspects abuse, they should have to ask the kid while the potential abuser stands there next to her?

Police for example is not allowed to talk to a minor without a parent / guardian being present, I don't see how a medical professional would have that right. If there's a serious suspicion they should just get the courts involved and get a legal mandate.

Not saying I wouldn't be cooperative. If I doc wants to ask a few friendly questions that's fine without me being present, I don't consider that "getting between" me and my kids.
