NO ONE should be able to secretly render medical treatment on my child without my permission MUCH LESS without even my knowledge. I don't care what kind of treatment it is.

So if a 16 year old gets into a car accident, then the hospital should have to wait to get parental consent before accepting the patient?

If a 16 year old has a non-life threatening non-urgent medical condition caused by a car accident that can wait 2 days before being treated, then yes, the parents should be consulted and permission received before the procedure is done. Isn't that obvious?
