I Need To Go To A Doctor Without My Parents Consent/knowledge Does Anyone Know How I Can?
Location: California
Hey, I’m 15 and in a really bad situation. My parents are abusive, and right now I’m pretty sure I have a broken nose and a concussion. My manager noticed I was hurt, and because of company policy, I need a doctor’s note to go back to work.
The problem is my parents are refusing to take me to a doctor. I’ve already tried going through the police and CPS multiple times, but they’ve been completely useless and nothing ever changes.
I just need to find a way to see a doctor without my parents knowing or giving permission. and without a doctor notifying them after the fact. I live in California. My coworker (she’s 19) is willing to take me wherever I need to go.
Does anyone know if there’s a way I can get checked out legally or safely on my own? I’m worried about my injuries but I can’t involve my parents without things getting worse.
Any advice would mean a lot.
UPDATE
damn i didn't expect more than like 3 people to see this. Everyone's advice is SO greatly appreciated so thank you all for that. i did reach out and call an urgent care near me, and my 19 year old coworker is able to sign and give consent for me, i'll be visiting later today. and for all the people saying to call police or cps i totally get why that's your first instinct but they been called dozens of times. through people at hospitals, through teacher, through neighbors, through me, through my brother, and through friends. and they aren't helpful in the slightest. the other thing is my parents arent just awful they only get physical every once and awhile (like maybe once every one or two months) and other than that they are amazing. so a big part of me doesn't want them in trouble and doesn't want to be taken away. Thank you so much again for all the comments and advice. means so much more than you could know.
