My pediatrician office once my child turns 13 won’t allow my husband or I access to anything in his chart as of 13, even with his permission. He must have a separate email account and I’m only allowed to see billing information. I’m sorry I don’t feel my 13 year old should be 100% in charge of his health care. I never saw that law in Ma as I looked at a more federal level for laws. It’s amazing to me how many rights parents are losing to their kids more and more. As for people saying I have no right to my under age child’s medical records…f@&k you.. I’m responsible for my child legally and financially. If they have a substance abuse problem who will be paying and taking care of them…me…if they end up as a teen parent at 14 who is responsible for them…me….so yeah I have a right to know what my kids are up to. I will be checking that link you gave me thanks!

Anecdotally, I would say MetroWest. Just considering towns like Weston and Dover are among the wealthiest in the country. Then you still have Wellesley, Concord, Wayland, Carlisle, Natick, Newton, Sudbury; I could keep going. There are example of extreme wealth in both the south and north shore too (I'd argue north shore is prob #2), but MA as a whole is just one of the wealthiest states in the country.

This. /u/funsk8mom, if you complained about an unsafe or hostile work environment and were fired in retaliation (especially with no disciplinary history) you may have a case.

You should be able to at least get a free consultation from a lawyer, and some people will take cases like this on contingency. You don’t pay up front, they get paid a share of what you win/settle for, plus courts can award extra payment for legal fees.
