At 18, the law treats you as an adult, right? Isn’t this why we can’t access our kids’ college and medical records without their permission? Sad story, but I can see why the counselor honored the request. Not sure if school counselors fall under HIPAA but my guess is they probably do.

It’s a sad situation and I can’t even imagine the grief the parents are feeling but I think it is misplaced blame.

@twicer Per the article linked, the counselor is male, not a young female.
