Editing Good Samaritan law (section)

====Parental consent====
If the victim is a minor, consent must come from a parent or guardian. However, if the legal parent or guardian is absent, unconscious, delusional, or intoxicated, consent is implied. A responder is not required to withhold life-saving treatment (e.g., [[Cardiopulmonary resuscitation|CPR]] or the [[Henry Heimlich#Heimlich maneuver|Heimlich maneuver]]) from a minor if the parent or guardian will not consent.{{Citation needed|date=June 2013}} The parent or guardian is then considered neglecting the minor, and consent for treatment is implied by default because [[negligence|neglect has been committed]]. Special circumstances may exist if [[child abuse]] is suspected (the courts will usually give immunity to those first responders who report what they reasonably consider to be evidence of child abuse or neglect, similar to that given to those who have an actual duty to report such abuse, such as teachers or counsellors).<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Foltin GL, Lucky C, Portelli I, etal |title=Overcoming legal obstacles involving the voluntary care of children who are separated from their legal guardians during a disaster |journal=Pediatric Emergency Care |volume=24 |issue=6 |pages=392–398 |date=June 2008 |pmid=18562886 |doi=10.1097/PEC.0b013e318178c05d|s2cid=24058314 }}</ref>
