Abstract

Project "Raise Your Voice Idaho" is an awareness campaign that attempts to call to attention a very old and outdated law in Idaho that needs to be amended. In 1982 a law was enacted that allows either parent in a 50/50 custody to cancel any medical appointment that is not agreed upon. There is no state or county entity tracking the number of children that are being neglected psychologically or medically. With only three options available to a parent, one of which is very expensive; but all taking too long to obtain medical or psychological help. This law is outdated and unacceptable.
