this may be one of the ONLY times i’ll say this…but i understand Owen. i get where he’s coming from. he said Riggs was off cheating on his sister and that’s why she got on that helicopter. and then for him to come here, tell Meredith some story painting himself as some sort of white knight?? yeah that shit would boil me up too. and when he said i’m not going to let you keep taking people from me, my heart kinda broke for him. he’s got MANNNNNYYYY issues but i don’t think it’s crazy or unfounded that he literally hates Riggs. i absolutely would too. my sister died leaving your cheating ass and people assume he can just get over that??? the way i love my sister, id curse Riggs’ name every damn day til i die🤷🏾♀️

2025-04-17 18:37:41 +0000 UTCthe difference is that it is literally illegal. her doing that to a friend is shitty but telling that child’s mother is actually against HIPPA laws and completely wrong to do. on that- it is very black and white. april broke the law

2025-04-17 18:23:13 +0000 UTCI hope I’m making sense here… but Arizona couldn’t run to Jackson fast enough to tell him about April being pregnant, but when it comes to Jenny, Arizona was trying to keep that pregnancy that had risks involved from the mom? I get that Jenny may have had her own right to do so, but if my child was getting surgery I would want to know too

Neither April nor Arizona has any legal right to disclose her pregnancy, even though she is 14. April's moral judgments and opinions don't change the law. First, parents/guardians’ access to patient info may be limited when the minor has authority to act as an “individual” as defined by HIPAA. The HIPAA Privacy Rule grants unemancipated minors the authority to act as an “individual,” able to exercise rights on their own behalf, in three specific situations: • the minor is legally authorized to consent for their care, the minor does so, and no other consent is required by law; or • the minor lawfully may obtain care without the consent of a parent or person acting in place of the parent such as a legal guardian, and the minor, a court, or another person authorized by law consents for the care; or • a parent, guardian, or person acting in place of a parent assents to an agreement of confidentiality between the minor and the health care provider. In these three situations, the minor is considered “the individual” and one consequence is that the minor’s signature is required to release their PHI–unless they have agreed to have their parent, guardian, or person acting as a parent serve as their personal representative. A minor in these situations may also exercise other rights under the Privacy Rule.

2025-04-15 12:38:32 +0000 UTCI understand why April did what she did, but it just made her & Jackson’s situation so much worse. I mostly blame Catherine for this new legal mess though. Catherine said she wanted Jackson to sue for full custody so he could get his parental rights back (which he would have once the baby was born anyway), yet she was pushing for him to take April’s parental rights away with the full custody thing. Catherine should have just minded her business and her mouth, because her big opinionated mouth resulted in Jackson getting served. After overhearing that they plan on suing her for full custody, can you really blame April for calling her lawyers and putting into action whatever she can do to fight against the Averys? I think anyone who overheard people plotting to take away their rights to their baby would decide to go nuclear and she definitely went nuclear. Obviously now that we know that Jackson didn’t listen to his mom, April made the wrong choice and should have probably taken more than 2 seconds to think everything through before actually going through with filing, since it seems she served Jackson the same day she overheard Catherine. This all sucks because Jackson decided to not listen to his mom and wanted to move past everything. Jackson obviously cared more about April & the baby and clearly wanted to fix things between them so they could both be involved parents. I can’t even imagine how Jackson is feeling right now, especially after him leaving that note and crib for April and him having no idea of why April would even choose to start a legal battle with him.

2025-04-15 09:37:30 +0000 UTCFrom what I can tell from Washington Law, pregnancy is one of the things minors can make a decision about for themselves without their parents knowing or overruling. HIPAA protects them for this whether its letting the parents know, whether they want to keep the baby or abort the baby. Along with contraception, STD's and any mental health care. But surgeries like for the spleen or anything else, broken bones, drug use ect. is not protected by HIPAA for minors. Hence why they can tell the mom about the spleen surgery but not about the pregnancy if the daughter doesn't want them to.
