RE: Protecting Children Requires Knowledge
Thank goodness your son knew not to let the cops in and then get the family over to you as fast as he could. This is the stuff nightmares are made of to me. And what a way to make us afraid to trust our doctors with truthful information! You never know when someone is going to jump the gun and report you for something completely normal and not neglectful at all...:(
I am the OP's husband, the RN in the story. If you take your preteen child to the doctor in Minnesota, they are REQUIRED to take the child some place private to ask them questions that could rip the child's world apart if they say the wrong thing.
Here is a sample questionnaire

They even admit that many of their calls are BS, people trying to cause trouble, yet they just keep plowing through families.
