The State of California gives medical rights to children ages 13 to 17 even if they are on drugs that include narcotics, alcohol, marijuana, and nonprescription medication. If these children are addicts they can choose to go to inpatient rehabilitation or they can choose not to. Please Save our Children!
Why is this important?
My son was abusing drugs as a teenager. When the Department of Children Family Services got involved with my family, I thought great my son is finally going to get help. Except I didn't know the law of the State of California that allows our children ages 13 to 17 even if they are abusing narcotics, alcohol or marijuana can choose if they want to go to Inpatient Drug Rehabilitation. As a parent I could not force my son into Drug Rehab. The Department of Children and family Services could not force my son into Drug Rehab. Drug Court for families and children could not force my son into a Drug Rehab. A judge is the only one if he or she feels the child is going to die. How long do parents like me have to suffer trying to help our children out of drug addiction?
