    Bye-Bye, Parent: The Government Wants To Own Your Child

    Bye-Bye, Parent: The Government Owns Your Child, A doctor talking to patients mother.

    What would you do if you were told that you could not be present for a ‘private’ meeting between your 12 to 17 year-old child and an unknown nurse or care-giver with a list of questions that would be put in their ‘medical’ record forever?

    I am not sure if I am a ‘normal’ parent or not but after being a practicing RN for over 20 years, I would say, “No thank you!”

    Bye-Bye, Parent: The Government Owns Your Child. A notice in a pediatrician's office requiring parents to leave the room for 5 minutes so the nurse can talk to the child alone.

    (source)

    Whether it be through Common Core or medical laws, there are growing concerns that progressives are looking to take parents out of the equation whenever and wherever possible. The plight of the Pelletier family (when their daughter was put into a psych ward for a medical disorder) is one recent warning of what is just around the corner unless we all wake up.

    The Government Owns Your Child

    This challenge to parental rights is not new.

    Christy Duffy was unpleasantly surprised when she took her daughter to the doctor in 2014. When she arrived in the office, a notice on the door terrified and angered her.

    Needless to say this mom was not happy with the notice or the nurse’s insistence that there was no way for her to opt out…

    I asked if this policy was in effect and if so, how could I opt out. The receptionist told me it’s a new law and there is no opting out. Working to keep my cool, I said, “I’m sure there is.” She said, “No, there isn’t.” At which point I asked if I needed to leave and go to the urgent care center because I was not submitting my daughter to such a conversation.

    That did not go over well.

    The receptionist closed the window. Almost immediately, the office manager turned the corner and said, “Mrs. Duffy, may I speak with you?” She said there was a new policy that would allow a child to access his/her medical records online and the child would be allowed to block a parent from viewing the website.

    The nurse would also inform my children that the doctor’s office is a safe place for them to receive information about STDs, HIV, and birth control. That is what the nurse would be chatting about with my children without any pesky parental oversight. I kindly informed her that no one would be talking with my children privately, and I needed to know how to opt out of this policy before bringing Amy back for her physical next month….

    Make sure this is crystal clear: what they want to do is talk to your child about sex and drugs (maybe rock and roll – who knows?) without your input. Is it really such a stretch to imagine that a doctor who does not value abstinence before marriage would encourage your daughters – as young as 12! – to receive birth control? Is it really such a stretch to imagine a nurse telling a young boy – because a 12 year old boy is a BOY – that she will give him condoms so he can be “safe”? Is this what you want told to your children without the ability to filter the info through your world view?

    Should a doctor ever ask to speak to a child without a parent present? If he/she suspects abuse, then, of course. But short of evidence of abuse, a doctor should not need to speak to a child alone. I am the Mom. I will pick who can talk to my kids about sex and drugs. And rock-n-roll for that matter.

    Read the rest of the blog post here. When these things happen (and they happen all too frequently) I hope harassed and abused parents and kids will raise the alarm for others! We are losing our freedoms and privacy right and left and must stand our ground.

    Stand up for parental rights quote.

    Stripping Away Parental Rights

    The law might sound reasonable to some on the face of it, but with just a little thought one should see potential long-term consequences for you and your child.

    By allowing these people ‘private’ time with adolescent children, it strips away the rights of parents.

    Why would the government want to do this?

    It is Your Child

    By removing the power to raise our own children out of the hands of parents, a vacuum is created, and the government rushes in to fill that void. In this case, they use medical personnel to do the job.

    These medical providers are given a private opportunity to take the politically correct messages about sex and relationships directly to young children whose parents may not agree with that message. And that is not all.

    Forbes states, “Following the Newtown, CT shootings, President Obama issued an executive order clarifying that ‘the Affordable Care Act [ObamaCare] does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.’

    The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) similarly encourages physicians to ask patients if they own firearms — in the name of protecting child safety.”

    It’s not the physician’s job to help your family with safety issues.

    In that case, they should inspect each knife you own. It is their job to help your family with health issues, and that is all. In their defense, many doctors are overwhelmed by their caseloads and simply comply instead of rock the boat.

    If at all possible, talk to other mothers and seek out one of the many doctors that is still truly family-friendly. 

    News: You do NOT have to answer invasive, personal questions according to this!

    Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement that these questions are being asked, but Napolitano made an important observation.

    “Most people will think they have to answer. They don’t need to answer under the law,” he explained.

    It turns out we are not as free and secure as we would like to be, and we’re heading in the wrong direction. ParentalRights.org gives us an overview of parental rights in America up through 2017. This is only a sampling of the epidemic.

    Your Child and Public School Content:

    Tell that to the Kansas father who was livid last week over a poster in his daughter’s eighth grade classroom that lists “How …people express their sexual feelings.”

    Some of the examples are light enough, but others are VERY explicit – and in a middle school setting! The principal and school district defend the poster, saying it is part of the school’s abstinence-based sex education program, and…

    …in line with other schools across the country.

    Wow!

    This is started very young and has been going on for years!

    Medical Freedom – Hospitals:

    In California, “Baby Sammy” was taken from his parents because they left one hospital to seek a second opinion at another before subjecting the child to open-heart surgery.

    In Ohio, an Amish family was forced to flee the country to spare their daughter unwanted and dangerous chemo-therapy, including a cocktail of drugs not approved for children by the FDA. Reports indicate the girl is in remission through natural means, but the Ohio hospital and child services department are livid.

    The law is NOT on our side. 

    In every one of these cases the judge ruled against legally fit parents. As a result, more and more parents are afraid to even take their child to the emergency room, lest one wrong answer lead to the removal of their child and the loss of their parental rights.

    What Can Be Done?

    We should not remain silent.

    There is strength in knowing about it. Talking and praying about this with other parents and family members is a powerful step. 

    And, we have an Almighty God who cares about parents and children; our prayers accomplish much. 

    “I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” ~1 Timothy 2:1

    There is another hope on the horizon!

    This is where we were as of 2/4/19: A proposed Parental Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is already slowly making its way through the Congress. If adopted, the PRA will guard the fundamental right of parents to make decisions – medical, educational, in fact all kinds of decisions – for their children.

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      I’m seeing all over the place where our rights as parents is being yanked from us. I don’t like it one tiny bit. I had already had a huge issue with a “well-meaning doctor” and the governement. It was all put to rest rather quickly, but the mere fact that it was even an issue was enough to upset us to pieces. I don’t like this idea or the fact that the government is trying to push us to be mandated to give vaccinations either. (I actually just posted about this debate on my Facebook page today.)
      Parents as a whole need to stand up for their rights, and I’m glad to see bloggers like yourself doing this kind of promoting.

        Yes, Crystal, and we must get the word out or our rights will erode and we won’t even know! Earnest prayer is a powerful tool, as well.
        God bless you, friend!

      Its nice to see parents do still have passion for their Childs wellbeing, life and our rights as a parent. I’ve just had my first son and am feeling overwhelmed by the invasive control they have over my child. It feels like they just want him to be a “tool” not a real person, with real human feeling or life. It feels he’s there child not mine.. As a father I have even less rights than the mother and feel pushed out

        James, you are not alone in that feeling, for it is more and more true. We all must be on our knees before the Lord seeking Him in it all for wisdom and peace to know what to do. I am praying for you and am blessed that you are an invested father! May the Lord protect and guide you as you seek Him in everything.

      As a holistic body worker and soon to be mom of twins I truly am so resistant to even see western medicine because of this exact reason! It’s more of a birthing industry than health care and I don’t trust that anything they offer is the best for our children. Outside of trauma they are ruled by consumerism and even them pushing BC on 12 year olds feels like them just finding an untapped consumer source. Hopefully corporations won’t run our Gov forever!

      If you really want to know why the government can do this to you and your child, it’s because you don’t own your child, you’re just holding your child. Want to learn more, go there and go down the rabbit whole…it starts with the birth certificate…and around 1860 when Congress committed treason and sold our what we think is America.
