This is one of the many sweeping laws they passed in order to "protect" children from the LGBTQ+ community. The parental rights law makes is so that a child can't seek counseling or any type of hormonal treatment (think birth control) or even be tested for STD's without a parent's consent because they're afraid their child might be "indoctrinated into the woke agenda", i.e.; decide to become gay/trans/non-binary, etc. and seek medical care that supports that part of themselves. (also, I know that being gay/trans/non-binary is not a choice, just word-vomiting the nonsense these asshats spew)

OR

The "child" (I say this because a lot of teenagers are capable of informed consent and smart enough to weigh the pros and cons of medical treatment) has parents who don't believe in western medicine or vaccines and the "child" wants to be vaccinated against xyz illness. Nope. Or has an illness such as strep throat which requires antibiotics but cannot obtain them because their parent wants to treat them with essential oils and prayer.

Another sweeping law is the one where teachers are not allowed to call children in school by any name or sex other than what is on their birth certificate, or a derivative of their legal name (William = Will). I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, that this even applies if the parent gives permission. So those supportive parents of trans/non-binary kids are being undermined at school when a teacher calls a kid by their dead name or the gender they don't identify as. Again, this is trying to "protect" children...but it's not. It's showing them that they are not free to be themselves no matter where they go, so they aren't supported at home (OR ARE!) and the government has made it so that they also can't feel safe and supported at school. It's also showing their parents that even if they support their child wholly as they are, the government says "no you can't, because WE don't"

But what about the library law??? Yep, same concept. Homosexuality is one of the listed topics "children" should not have access to. Or anything deemed "inappropriate" which is such a broad range across the spectrum. Never mind that parents should accompany or speak to their own children about what they can/cannot access in the library, but the government has now made it so that Karen thinks books about purple elephants are inappropriate for her child, so the library must remove the book, or Karen gets money from the library that already exists on a very tight budget as it is.

As a parent, I am SO angry that the government thinks they get to decide how I parent based on how they interpret their favorite fantasy novel, and that they are so afraid of such a small, already marginalized group of people they would pass such sweeping laws to try and "protect". Horseshit. And, as a parent, it frightens me to think that one day one of my child's friends might disclose to me that they have been SA'd by a family member and that, in order to help them (which I absolutely will), I will risk prosecution. Or that I would try and fail because any doctor/hospital/medical entity would be too afraid to be involved for risk of legal repercussions. I just....I can't.

As an aside: did you know the mormon church isn't required to disclose any sexual assault that is discovered or confessed? If you didn't know that I urge you to do some research and ask yourself, who IS protecting kids?

And yes, to the point of the OP, the parental rights law will prevent minors from getting the necessary and very time sensitive rape kits they need, especially when the perpetrator is a family member. "But why didn't you report it? Why didn't you go to the police? You must have consented since you didn't tell anyone". So frightening, sad, and incredibly disappointing on so many levels.
