Teen Consent & Parental Rights: When Can Kids Make Their Own Legal Decisions?

Loading player...

In this eye-opening episode of Justice in Motion with Jared Jones, we dive into the evolving legal rights of minors in South Africa. Discover at what age children can consent to medical treatment, access contraception, open a bank account, or even leave school—often much earlier than parents realize. Jared breaks down key laws like the Children’s Act and shares real-life scenarios, like the case of 13-year-old Sibusiso, to highlight how the law balances parental authority with a child’s growing autonomy. Whether you’re a parent navigating shifting responsibilities or a teen asserting your rights, this episode offers practical insights and controversial angles on teen empowerment in the eyes of the law. Tune in to learn where the line is drawn—and who gets to draw it.
