Ensuring Your Kids’s Safety
Kids will be kids. Sometimes, they will get hurt and need medical attention. If anyone else (grandparents, friends, siblings, etc.) ever cares for your minor children, you will want to complete this Medical Authorization for Treatment of a Minor Child for each of your kids. It empowers the people you trust to obtain medical care for your child, and it is not state-specific to Georgia. Be sure to review the form carefully to ensure that you understand all of it. Also, be sure to have each form (one per child) notarized.
