This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

In most circumstances, parents already need to consent to medical treatment for their child. We're not sure what changes you'd like to see. We're not sure whether you'd like under 18s to be refused testing if a parent or guardian isn't available or whether you'd like parents to be able to have their children tested on demand.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like to happen.
