Question:

You are dispatched to the scene of a 9 year old girl who has been struck by a car. Police are unable to reach her parents. What gives you the ability to treat the girl?

A Implied Consent
explanation

In the absence of a parent or guardian, evaluation, treatment and/or transport of a child should not be delayed pending parental consent. Therefore consent is "implied" assuming the parent would want you to help their child.
