Abstract

This article describes the legal framework in which medical treatment can be ordered for a minor without his/her consent, by a judge for children. The decision process includes the search for parental and children cooperation and the article insists on the importance of social services support. Juvenile justice and child protection proceedings are both addressed, the French judge for children having jurisdiction on both. The article also questions the sense of judicially imposed medical care.
