Overcoming Legal Obstacles Involving the Voluntary Care of Children Who Are Separated From Their Legal Guardians During a Disaster
Pediatric Emergency Care, 06/17/08

In general, unless a physician or nurse is a member of a public sector emergency response program, parental consent is required for the treatment of minors outside of an emergency department unless the minor is suffering from an imminently life-threatening condition.
