If there were any recent changes in the home the parents should share this information with the psychiatrist. The manner in which the parents handle the tantrums may not be appropriate for the behavior that Clara is exhibiting or age appropriate; it is also possible that the parents are not effectively using techniques to improve or change the behavior. The parents might also give permission for the school to share information about the child’s behavior, and their methods for dealing with the behaviors.(Comer.(2011)). During the
It is true that minors make their own decisions on a daily basis, however do the parents still have the right to make the final decision on what the minor can and cannot do as a minor’s legal guardian?

The federal and state government laws provide exceptions that generally track the ability of certain minors to obtain detailed health care without the parental consent. Nonetheless the federal and state laws protect minors and allow them to make the decision to make their own decisions without a parental

The rules change when it comes to pregnant minors like what’s involved in the case study. Children are usually classified as adolescents when they are age 18 or older. But if a minor is pregnant, they are automatically considered an adult regardless of their age. Even minors have rights just like adults do. In the case of confidentiality, “the minor has to be allowed and supported to make autonomous decisions after being deemed competent to understand the implications of doing so.” (Cornock, 2011) In this case, the minor is 15 and is now a parent of a fresh newborn.
Other factor to consider is that if the client is in legal capacity to give consent i.e. they are not suffering from any mental health problem and the age of the client. In Timothy’s case consent depends on the extent of his disability. The doctors have to try and make Timothy understand the procedure slowly, with the next of keen around and giving Timothy time to think. If he is not able to give any consent or process any information, because he is 18 years of age here the NSW Guardianship Act comes and decides who can give consent on behalf of Timothy which can be parents or guardian.
Group # 4 English 99 Wiley Group Project The Plan B Pill Some argue that by allowing the morning after pill drug to be sold to kids, would give them the consent to have sex.

AGE OF CONSENT LAWS 19/2/13 Answer the Following Questions: 1) What is the difference between age of consent and consent? The difference between age of consent and consent is that age of consent is legally giving permission (consent) to engaging in sexual intercourse or sexual activities with another person but consent refers to committing or giving permission to engage in a certain act. 2) Why do you think there are age of consent laws? I believe there are age of consent laws to help protect children and younger adults from being sexually abused or being involved in unintentional and unwanted sexual activity. Even though the children might be willing and ready to engage in sexual activities, they won’t have the psychologically capacity to give consent or permission to involve in sexual interactions with other people.
Another major aspect of their situation would be if they have any physical injuries from the crash they would need a support network to them rehabilitate. Their age is also a major aspect as John is 13 and Sophie is 11. Article 12 of the UN convention of the rights of the child states: “ Respect for the views of the child when adults are making decisions that affect children children have the right to say what they think should happen and have their opinions taken into account” This means that even though they are under 18 they are entitled to voice their opinions and have the right to say who is involved in their care. This article gives John and Sophie the rights to have their opinions expressed and taken into account on how decisions made for them would affect their well being. Article 20 makes it the states obligation to provide care and support for John and Sophie as they have been 'deprived of family environment' this means children who can't be looked after by family must be placed with a family by the state.
