A human trafficking course is required to review my healthcare license. They’re not used to seeing people with your skillset. Also, people who do adventurous things often do them well past the age where they’re safe. Just making sure that you know you have options.
Comment on Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help?
dustyData@lemmy.world 1 week agoYou’ll flip when you find out that there are circumstances in which they are mandated by law to share your personal information. That stuff is regulated to hell, and rallying resources to help people sleeping rough is a good thing in my book. Maybe OP doesn’t need the help but the other 99% of the people living on their cars are at huge risk to life. Starvation, hypothermia, malnutrition, human trafficking, prison, just to name a few.

Insane. Where I’m from they are not allowed to forward anything. Not even billing information to a third party payment provider without explicit written consent.

It’s usually strictly regulated what is allowed and what requires consent. Like I said, life saving is usually the intended criteria. That’s how child molesters are caught. Are you gonna ask diddler daddy for consent to put him in prison for giving Lucy HPV?

Different pretense, if a kid is identified as a victim, authorities will be informed since they haven’t reached maturity yet, and the alleged perpetrator is the legal guardian.
If an adult falls victim to sexual abuse, they will not inform any authorities on their behalf but leave it to the person.

If an adult is a suspected victim of human trafficking the police will be alerted despite their consent. Sexual abuse victims will be contacted by police and social workers as it is their job, not the doctors, to offer assistance and determine the consent and course of action to take. Same thing happened here, the doctor is not qualified to make the judgment call, so they call someone who is qualified and authorized to make such decisions. For doing so, the doctor is permitted and expected to partially disclose patient information, like identity and anydhing they saw or heard that prompted them to call social services or police. As they did in OPs case. This is not the violation of rights you think it is. It’s actually a sensible compromise to try and benefit the most vulnerable members of society.
