(1) Consent by Child. A child who is pregnant or believes themself to be pregnant may give consent to her own medical and dental care (except sterilization). The consent of the Department is not necessary to authorize medical or dental care for any such child in the care or custody of the Department, or any such ward of the Department. For abortion see M.G.L. c. 112, §§ 12F and 12R and 110 CMR 11.07.

(2) Consent by Department or Parent. If a medical provider refuses to treat a child who is pregnant or believes themself to be pregnant without parental or Department consent, or if such child refuses to consent or is not able to consent to medical or dental care, the Department may consent (except to abortion or sterilization).
