Okay, so we're giving 11 year olds medication without their parents' consent or knowledge... so then that kid goes to the pediatrician for some ailment (or god forbid the emergency room) and doesn't disclose that they are taking this medication. The parents can't do it because they don't know about it... Is no one worried that they might take a drug that would interact with this medication?




This is my concern too. The msNBC version of the story says they'll be given exams, but if the parents aren't being told than is the child's regular doctor going to be informed? Also, as others said most kids that age are not going to be able to remember to take the pills every day.




I find it difficult to believe that doctors are willing to give a pelvic exam to an 11 year old without parental consent in this sue-happy society! Chat Icon

I think it is inappropriate for the school to be giving out a prescription medication - bcp, or anything else. They should give sex education and condoms, but it should end there.
