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?

Underage kids can't consult to really anything legally on their own. You cannot have a system where in certain cases they're treated as adults. I get what you're saying but I cannot believe that any good parent thinks this is ok.

This country has weird culture that's started happening in the last decade where the parents take a back seat and the government/institutions are taking their place. Suddenly, you're hearing schools, doctor's, etc. telling kids they should come to them and not trust their parents. It's terrifying as a parent. Parents should never have to give up their rights in the name of "safety".

You can be forgiven with this opinion if you have not met or spent time around the types of parents whose children genuinely need to be taken away: neglectful, abusive, and extremely harmful to their kids.

This is like agreeing with a judicial that treats people as guilty until they're proven innocent.

Bad things happening in some cases is not justification for treating everyone as a criminal. That's how totalitarianism starts.

You're always arrested before being proven guilty in court, this is the same situation.
