NH Dem Chair Ray Buckley “beat their kids to death.” Biden and AG called Parents “Domestic Terrorists.” Majority Report on HB114 (emphasis mine):
And another attempt to demonize parents and separate them from their children:
MAJORITY: OUGHT TO PASS. MINORITY: INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE.
Rep. Joe Schapiro for the Majority of Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs. Recognizing that many older adolescents either do not have supportive, capable parents and/or are unready to share their emotional struggles with their otherwise supportive parents, this bill allows mature minors, 16 years and older…
If they were that “mature”, why won’t Democrats allow them to purchase firearms?
…to independently enter into mental health treatment.
What kid needs Parents when Government is doing the “giving you permission to do <x, y, and z>?
This bill excludes the prescribing of medication. It does not address the question of payment, nor does it require clinicians to provide such service. In fact, this bill clarifies what is currently an ambiguous and confusing area in NH statutes. Vote 11-9.
You can bet that even as a minor child goes and “spends” on services, it will be a “surprise medical bill” (which Democrats have kvetched about in the past) for the Parents that have been cut out of the process, at a time of severe child need, by the Democrats.
Rep. Erica Layon for the Minority of Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs. The minority believes
that the best therapy comes with the involvement and support of the family. The minority believes that
parents, with some exceptions, are the best advocate for their child and should be a part of this process
unless there are extenuating circumstances. The minority appreciates the prohibition of prescribing power
without parental consent in the bill.
