October 6, 2014 (San Diego)--The County is violating constitutional rights of children and their parents by conducting intrusive medical exams on youngsters, federal judge Thomas Whelan has ruled. The examinations have been routinely conducted on all children brought to the Polinsky Children’s Center, the county’s emergency shelter by social workers, UT San Diego reports. The tests include genital and anal exams, or what amounts to strip searches without parental notification or consent.
