In many places, minors have the right to confidentiality when it comes to reproductive health services. This means that healthcare providers are legally obligated to keep their patients' information private, even from their parents or guardians, unless there are specific circumstances where the minor's safety is at risk. Therefore, the mother does not have the right to know why her child is being seen without the patient's consent.Rate this question:
