Wow, that must have been a serious crisis for them to react in that way.....but I would think if they had your parents number as an emergency number, what ever might happen to you they could call your parents & tell them where you are.....whether you want to give out that information to your parents is your own choice & you shouldn't be forced to provide your parents any information you don't want them to have at your age......it does seem like an over-reaction on the part of the group you are with.......because at this point even if your parents knew any information like what they could provide, they couldn't force you to do anything you didn't want to do in a crisis situation anyway....other than if you are forced to because of being a danger to yourself or others.....but you still shouldn't be forced to give your parents information you don't want to provide.

I would talk to some legal advice about the HIPAA (think that's the acronym). It sounds like there is a bit of over-reacting going on that is overstepping their bounds given the information you just provided.

Even when I was suidical & my T or pdoc sent me to the hospital, my H was called, but was never given any information about my records....it wasn't appropriate & was against the HIPAA regulations.
