lorjacks - wow, I didn't expect that!!
This was one incident so long ago - you must have other memories that will help you decide if you were neglected growing up.
Unless, I guess, as a result of this you were placed in foster care and weren't raised by your parents?
Best wishes in your search for information. I would certainly think you are entitled to your own medical records, but I don't know for sure. Ask!
The child was me. This was back in 1963. Do I have the right to get my own medical records? The librarian at the hospital says they most likely still have them.
Thank you.
Without a lot more information, its hard to tell, lorjacks.
If you suspect the child is being neglected, do you have a legal right to view medical information or speak to the doctor? Are you a parent, or grandparent?
If this child was treated in a hospital, I think it would have been reported to CPS if the doctor suspected neglect.
Are there any other signs of neglect, like is the child chronically hungry or unclean?
Best wishes. I hope you are able to find out answers.
