Is it uncommon for parents to go in with their children to doctor's examinations?

Asked by DominicX (28808points) February 23rd, 2010

A recent story about a convicted child molester/pediatrician in Delaware brought this to my attention. The majority of his victims were very young children. I just want to know: where were the parents? Are parents honestly letting their 3 year old children go into an examination alone? Is that even allowed? Is this unique to Delaware or something?

I don’t know about you, but my mom went in with me to check-ups until I was in middle school and started wanting to go alone. I thought that was what people did in general.
