PJM: Recently, a mother of a Digital Harbor High School student in Baltimore, Md., was shocked and dismayed to discover that her daughter was suffering complications from an implanted birth control device that she didn’t even know was there. Nicole Lambert’s then-sixteen-year-old daughter was complaining of arm pain, so her mother took her to the pediatrician, who discovered that an improperly inserted Nexplanon birth control device was the culprit. It was the school nurse who inserted it. read more

  1. Anonymous: I’m sure that the same lawmakers who allowed abortion and birth control for minors without parental permission were “thoughtful” enough to include liability immunity for these “health providers”.

  2. There are schools that won’t apply sunscreen on field trips without written permission but now we have schools that dole out hormones and insert birth control devices. And school nurse?! The school nurses I recall were not people I would want administering healthcare.

  3. the gov’t will make sure that there are no laws forbidding this to happen in the first place. And even if there were laws, we’d see the doj famous words “decline to prosecute”.

    the best that can be hoped for is a lawsuit that goes before a judge that obama-the-clown did not appoint. because if it’s an obama-the-clown appointed judge, there will be no justice.

  4. The mother was “dismayed”?! “Dismayed”?!!!

    Dismay is when the restaurant doesn’t get your steak order right or when the dry cleaners ruins an article of clothing.

  5. I don’t understand how a school has the authority to Implant a birth control device.

    What’s next, an adadictomy procedure during recess time?

    How about we spend our tax dollars teaching reading, writing, and ‘rithmatic. NOT test-taking, social justice, and bastardized history.

  6. I honestly have trouble comprehending this.
    Get the feeling this has Margret Sanger’s fingerprints all over it.
    We always used French letters, a lot of girls used an aspirin, clinched firmly between their knees.
    Oh, that’s right, you cannot get an aspirin from the school nurse anymore.

    “the public school system isn’t teaching the 3 R’s no more”

    …sure they are…they teach that Republicans are Racist Rapist every day instead of, you know, anything that’s true or useful…

    “And evil continues its dance with the
    “elected government” calling the tune.
    200K in “shut up” money and it all disappears.
    Until they poison the next kid.

    …200k in TAXPAYER money, Democrats NEVER use their OWN…

  9. grool- I agree.

    Look, It is way over the school’s boundaries to do this, but that girl did not object or punch the nurse in the gunt over the injection. She just got caught and had no choice but to tell her mom when she got sick.
    So now, when parents go to sue, they’ll say it’s within the law and your daughter (maybe) asked for it.
    The best the parents can do is sue for the illness and the fact that the nurse wasn’t certified to even do this.

  10. When we were a nation of Laws,
    a minor CANNOT give medical consent.

    But that was before a Fraud POSUS,
    got a Congress to pass obozocare ILLEGALLY
    and the rest of our elected o-fish-alls sat with their thumbs up their asses,
    because they wanted to make personal fortunes from their insider trading on health insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies, like the one that raised the price of the EpiPen from $30 to $700 (because you HAD to buy a twin-pack, which expired annually according to their deceitful documentation). And then fentanyl.

  11. Progressive, leftist driven legislation in Maryland is also to blame. Children are under guardianship by parents for a reason. This idiotic “decision” made by an immature, promiscuous, hormone driven teen proves children can’t make a life altering medical choice like this for themselves.

  12. A few years ago a femail student was suspended for giving another girl an aspirin or a Midol because he was suffering with a menstrual cycle. Liberals administrators are a bane to public schools. I hope the person who performed this act is fired, fined and jailed.

  13. “I am waiting for a story on the boy who got the school nurse vasectomy.”

    LOL! You know what? Never happen. Libs (especially women) seem to want to only control women and the women oblige. And some stupid men. For whatever reason.

  14. 16 years old is not a “child” according to the left. And indeed, for centuries, 16-year-olds married, had children, worked, and even now can consent to all kinds of medical treatment. But… yes, Will, excellent point on the utter hypocrisy and inconsistency on the left.

    Greta Thunberg also isn’t a “child”. Neither are MS-13 gang members crossing the border illegally.

  15. Teach your children to be terrified of anyone attempting to give them medicine or medical procedures outside of your chosen Doctor’s office. Government schools are being run like Chinese Communists are in charge.

  16. A friend of a friend has a daughter with asthma. First day of school, the girl got pulled aside and was told that she would have to take her rescue inhaler (and whatever pill she had to take at the time) and give it to the nurse. You know, the nurse who isn’t always in her office The office that is across the school yard somewhere. Great idea.
    Well, she didn’t hand anything over. But her mom and dad called the school and handed somebody their asses over it.

    Seriously. They expected the child to give up her emergency meds. lol. wow.

  17. Secretly implanted birth control device in a minor. That way her “teacher” doesn’t have to make a special trip to Planned Parenthood should there be an accident.

    Sue everybody, the school, the doctor, the medical facility, the drug manufacturer, the state. Allege every male school employee is a pedo. $$$$

  18. 16-year-olds ARE considered children by the media when they want to write about “priests abusing children”. But 75-80% of the reported abuse involves gay priests with post-puberty teenage males. The media story is always “sex abuse of children” rather than the more precise gay sex with teenagers.

    I’d be PISSED!
    ———————————

    I was there every step of the way with my kids, their teacher and principal. My kids did just fine from Kindergarten through grade 12. Started out by the teacher confronting each student at the door to unpack all their school supplies because everyone was going to get a piece of the action. Mom shows up (me), and demands all my children’s school supplies back, that I didn’t waste my money doing other parents job. After that, they left my children alone. Hell to pay? Yep. Touch my kid would have been prison for me.

  20. Yet the school nurse probably can’t give a student a Tylenol with parental permission. But anything to do with sex: birth control , abortion, lectures by gay or transgender advocates, fall under different rules. Where anything goes. Crazy mixed up world .

  21. If you had your kid in a home schooled environment this wouldn’t have happened- and (and I hate to say this but-) maybe you needed to be more trust worthy or be there for her?
    My mom was always awkward about sex but she was still extremely open and there for me and any questions- and she taught me about celibacy and encouraged it.
    Parents need to parent and the school system needs to butt the hell out.

  22. I’m getting to the point I no longer feel sorry for parents who have stupid things done to their kids in public school. It’s no damn secret anymore that public school doesn’t educate your children, but are nothing more than indoctrination centers. Hell it should be considered child abuse these days to send your kids to public school.

  23. The mother needs to sue EVERYBODY involved in this fiasco. It is FAR beyond the legal scope of practice for a Registered Nurse to implant ANY device in a patient without the express orders of and IMMEDIATE availability of a Licensed Practitioner such as an MD. This act constitutes FELONY practicing medicine without a license. It ALSO constitutes FELONY assault.
