The ‘Right to Parent’ Ballot Initiative

CALL to ACTION!

(Deadline: March 31, 2024) 

​

It's REAL. Parental Rights are Continuing to be Taken Away in Illinois...

"New law mandates yrly mental health screenings of public school students grade 7-12."   Beverly A. Pekala  @PekalaLaw https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs5.asp?ActID=4316&ChapterID=17 

Minors age 12-17 have the right to access and authorize release of their own mental health records. Parents have rights to minor's records only if minor does not object or if therapist feels compelling reasons to override the minor. 740ILCS110/5
