Hello,

I am trying to get some guidance on HIPPA law in the USA.

First, is there a better place to post about this topic?

If not, would anyone know of a good place with as detailed examples of possible HIPPA violations as possible?

Or, specifically, would anyone know if the following would be a HIPPA violation, and if so, what type?:

An employee at a supposedly HIPPA protected facility bringing their adolescent or early teen kid to the facility, and the kid both having access to records as well as performing staff duties with patients/clients.

Also, would anyone happen to know if there is any type of HIPPA violation ‘exemption’ a facility/individual could have available to them in a situation like this?

I believe a violation is occurring, but am not sure how to clarify specifically or if some exemption exists which allows this to occur.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Any direction or guidance you may be able to provide is greatly appreciated.
