Even here in FL, kids over 12 have some degree of medical privacy. The county STD clinic will treat without informing parents, you cannot access health information online (which leads to a really weird few years when I can't because they are 13 but they can't, because they aren't 18).

And emergency services are different as well, there is no way a parent would be able to block a law enforcement action either.

This law is bad, any kid who can't trust their parents is harmed by it, but I don't think it would do what the meme is implying. If someone is raped, that is a criminal offense not just a health event. If medics are asking they ought not be. Criminal evidence isn't healthcare.

Well that is just a horrifying assertion.

They need to be calling the police, not deferring to the parent.
