The answer depends upon in which state the child is a resident. Some states provide that the school nurse or a local planned parenthood, pro-choice, or abortion clinic can give contraception information and supplies to children. Other states require that the person be of a certain age, 12 or 14 or 16 or even 18. Some states require parental consent for any assistance given which pertains to birth control (pregnancy prevention). It is a good idea to Google for "Contraception State Laws" and look at the state laws. Generally, most states do not permit children to receive any kind of non-parental consent medical treatment or assistance including contraception. The definition of who is a "child" varies from state to state, depending upon the Age of Minority and Age of Majority (legal terms for "when a person becomes an adult".
