What I don't understand is where the line is between your child being your personal property and them being an individual with rights of their own. If you were to explain the situation to the child, and they understood what was happening, and asked for the transfusion, would the parents be able to stop you?
This kind of shit pisses me off SO BAD. What I really want to do is drain these motherfuckers blood out of their body to the point where they are just barely alive, and get rid of said blood. Once that happens, ask them if they still believe it's wrong to accept the gift of blood from someone else. That should show those fucking retards what it's like. You can't make those kind of decisions for your child. Personally, if I knew someone who made that decision, I would be forced to make the same one for them. They would die, a rather slow and painful death.

The government usually will not intervene unless the child's health is in serious danger. It is personal choice. How you raise your own children is a "fundamental right" under the Constitution, and any government action must meet strict scrutiny to be constitutional. This is the highest standard in the land and the government almost always losses in issues involving strict scrutiny. I'll leave it at that and not explain it in any more detail. It would take more time than I have to explain Constitutional law to those that have not studied it.
In the situation you mentioned, a child could go to the police and use the judicial system to overrule a parent's decision. A child can become emancipated to legally have the authority to make all his/her decisions, or the court may appoint a guardian if they deem the parents to be endangering the children.
I've probably confused people even more by this post, but oh well. :lol
