Healthcare decisions are slowly being removed from parents. There are a number of families I'm aware of in the groups I belong to on social media who've lost their children to the system for the simple reason of asking for a second opinion. I'm also aware of a parent in CT who's two children were removed for refusing a safety plan given to her by the hospital which mandated she give her child psychotropic meds. She refused and told them she believed in treating the holistic route, they promptly removed her 10 yr old autistic daughter and three days later went to her son's school and removed her 7 year old son who has Aspergers. She has since gotten them both returned but it wasn't without a long, tough battle that lasted over a year and a half.
