Scenario: You are working a large 18+ music festival and security brings you an alert and oriented 17 year old male, who has a strong smell of alcohol. He admits to drinking tonight, but states he's fine and doesn't want or need medical attention. He admits to you that his parents think he's at his friend's house and begs of you to not call his mom. How would you handle this situation?
I am wondering about the by-the-book or legal procedure here, particularly in the state of California. My first impression is that the 17 year-old is still considered a minor and cannot legally refuse treatment.
