A parent often allows their child to be abused too, so they will try to protect the abuser.
Or the abuser is a close family member, and the parents refuse to take seriously any suggestion that abuse is happening, despite damning evidence, so they protect the abuser out of a sense of familial duty.
This law serves no other purpose than to protect child rapists.
The TLDR is that this does not allow any medical testing on children without parental consent. Guess who occasionally is the rapist?
Much more than occasionally, horrific as that is.
It’s almost always someone the child knows, not some shadowy evil cabal.

Either a parent/legal guardian was the perp, or they allowed it to happen
