A Doctor cannot separate parents from the children. They have to call the police or Social Services. They do not have the authority to keep you from your children. That would be forceful detainment and they would get in trouble if they did that. A doctor cannot take a child into custody on their own merit. I have been asked questions when I am admitted to hospital like: "are you in a safe environment?", "are you being abused?" and questions like that. I am a big man but they still ask because that is the new admittance forms and it is their job to ask and getting offended at them is not right because they are only doing their job.

And children of all ages need to understand the 5th amendment and how to take it. I wonder if they even bother teaching this in school. My daughter knows it, and jokes me all the time when she is in trouble. She'll take the 5th.

Sorry, but if the kid was being evaluated in the Psych unit, questions about guns are entirely appropriate. Depending on what he was brought in for, doctors want to try and determine if he is a threat to himself or others and whether or not he has some type of weapon available or easily obtainable with which to carry out that threat. Calm down bud - President Obama isn't coming for your guns.

The US differs from Europe. Our nation was founded with guns, during the time of guns being the primary arms in any conflict. Our nation expanded it's borders during the time of guns. Our founding fathers, fleeing oppression in Britain, sought to ensure the same would not eventually happen here. These are some of the influences we left behind in Europe those many years ago. I was not aware the GDR government was overthrown in Germany.

A week later Martina and her child were dead after a head-on collision with a tree.

Well, they asked "o you get good grades in school? Do you get bullied?", too.
Always just guns, guns, guns.
So what? Is it only possible for an US-american man to be a man with a gun?
Is this some macho-thing going on - "look, my barrel is loooonger and wider than yours! And you should touch it, it is sooooo smoooth, as I tend to caress it daily with oils and fluids!"?
Stop being so childish. The rest of the world can get rid of its government, too - without weapons. Just look at the former German Democratic Republic. Completely overthrew their government, not a single shot needed. Why do you think that it would have to be different in the USA?

What happens when it is the parents that put the safety of the child in jeopardy ?

There is already a system for that. We don't need more systems, we've got enough already.

when they asked me questions, i was there for asthma. that's why the question threw me a bit. it seemed out of the blue and had no connection to what i was there for.

it wont ever end, thats the sad part people dont get, all this crap isnt even really to do with guns. its to set up a protocol that the people doing these things with the guns are mentally unstable, therefor we will need more stricter health care laws in which we start asking these kinds of questions so
A. then can force people onto more prescribed medication than ever before. $$$$$ its why the health care is being mandated and forced apon people because now everyone will be able to afford them. and when they cant, they will ask us to pay MORE in health care to take care of these "types" of people.
B. so when someone in society is giving them trouble, they can request that such person get examined and they can do that now in most states , so after they bolster this law it wont even bat an eye to do it. regardless if you are really unstable or not you will be found not stable , and you will start to lose x y z priviledges
c and since now it wont matter if you got the I.D to obtain weapons they can take them away regardless of what constitution says , just be declaring you medically unstable.
