Can a minor child be forced to go to counseling by the judge if the parents don't think it's necessary?

As long as the Judge stays within the law, he/she can pretty much order anything the Judge feels is necessary. The Judge can order the minor child get counseling. And/Or order the Parents get counseling. (Humor-->) IF Law backed up the Judge's decision, he could order the child's gerbil and the family dog go to the counseling appointments, too. Point is: Any Judge has wide discretion under the law, and especially a Family Court Judge. Heck, the Judge could order that a child be separated from the family to live in Foster Care--- so having to go to counseling is not that bad really.

If a child is afraid of their parent do they have to visit them?
no they dont tell someone why you are afraid of your parents and then they might understand......AnswerIn order for the visits to stop the visitation order must be modified by the court. The custodial parent must take charge of the situation immediately and do whatever is necessary to determine why the child is afraid to visit the non-custodial parent. It would be best to contact the attorney who represented that parent in the divorce for advice and a referral to the proper professionals. If the child's reasons are found to be serious then the parent must return to court to have the visitation modified but they must provide appropriate evidence for the court's review.If the child's fears are unfounded then the parents should seek counseling in order for the child to feel comfortable visiting the other parent.
What right do parents have when there child goes to school with seizures and what can school do for that parent?
The parents do have the right not to send the child to school on health grounds. They also have the option just to send the child part-time (e.g mornings but not afternoons). Potentially, (depending on local authorities) they have the right to paid home tutoring for their child. However, if the child is sent to school (for any length of time), the school should have the full (necessary) details of the child's medical condition, along with an action plan should a seizure occur. This plan should be arranged by organising a meeting with the parents (and potentially the child, depending on the child's age), in order to discuss the concerns of all parties. It helps if the parents have a clear idea of what they would like to be done to help their child; bring along a "checklist" of what should be done/who to call should their child have a seizure at school. The school should be prepared to give the child any necessary medication or first aid. If there is a school nurse, she should be made aware of the child's condition.

Does the absence of parents affect adolescent behavior?
I would definitely say yes. Although, if you have an adult figure who loves you and instills the values and shows you love and respect, I believe their behavior can be good. If the child is separated, taken away, or loses their parents in an accident, and they are forced into being cared for by someone else. There can be all kinds of complications. They should get counseling and lots of love.
