Essentially, the gov't has access to children's private areas without parental consent.
What other states have similar laws?
How many children have been "examined" without their parents knowing?
"Examine" - Is there a prerequisite that the health care provider have reason to believe there is a disease, or can they just examine for the heck of it?

Connecticut General Statutes 19a-216 – Examination or treatment of minor for venereal disease. Confidentiality. Liability for costs
Current as of: 2016 | Check for updates | Other versions
(a) Any municipal health department, state institution or facility, licensed physician or public or private hospital or clinic, may examine or provide treatment for venereal disease for a minor, if the physician or facility is qualified to provide such examination or treatment. The consent of the parents or guardian of the minor shall not be a prerequisite to the examination or treatment. The physician in charge or other appropriate authority of the facility or the licensed physician concerned shall prescribe an appropriate course of treatment for the minor. The fact of consultation, examination or treatment of a minor under the provisions of this section shall be confidential and shall not be divulged by the facility or physician, including the sending of a bill for the services to any person other than the minor, except for purposes of reports under section 19a-215, and except that, if the minor is not more than twelve years of age, the facility or physician shall report the name, age and address of that minor to the Commissioner of Children and Families or the commissioner’s designee who shall proceed thereon as in reports under section 17a-101g.

This makes me want to throw up. I would not trust any of these people with a child after the horrid abuse committed by Dr. Nasser. What is to stop a Dr. in some small clinic from having a camera in the room. What a great vehicle to generate CP. Considering that Delaware and Connecticut are Cesspools for Pedophilia, I do not think they have the child's interest or that of the parents at heart. Too bad we have lost faith in our govt. officials when it comes to protecting our children.

I remember a case a few years back where a gynecologist filmed the exams he performed on adult women. And he had a very prestigious position at a university hospital, if I recall correctly. If someone is doing that with adult women, you can bet that they are doing it with children. Sometimes I wonder how we have fallen so far as a nation that this is becoming such a widespread problem. But maybe it has always been this bad and they are just now brazen enough to crawl out from under their rocks and do it more openly -- either way, our society has gotten sicker and will continue to do so until enough people take a stand and declare that we will not tolerate this.

I have heard of those cases too. I also think it is good this is coming out. For one, I believe there are many and the more that people hear, the better. But many do not check out these stories. That is the problem. I have now been passing these on to the next door neighbor. He has a young girl and he is thanking me.
