Here�s what the Tennessee law says: 33-8-202 [NEW; derived from former §§ 33-6-101 and 33-6-102] (a) If a child with serious emotional disturbance or mental illness is sixteen (16) years of age or older, the child has the same rights as an adult with respect to outpatient and inpatient mental health treatment, medication decisions, confidentia linformation, and participation in conflict resolution procedures under this title except as provided inpart 3 of this chapter or as otherwise expressly provided in this title. If the child�s parent, legal guardian, legal custodian, or treating professional believes that the child�s decision to terminatetreatment, other than a

request for discharge under chapter 6, part 2 of this title, will havesevere adverse effects on the child, the conflict resolution procedures under chapter 2, part 6 of this title shall be used.



Hrm...yeah, but that's a special case...and doesn't help ours... -_-<

Howdoesn't it help our case ? LIA claims they can 'cure' homosexuality . Sexual orientation is ingrained part of a person's personality . So they are messing with mental health issue without the licence to do it .
