14 Year Old Girl Sues Over Birth Control Embarrassment

CBS TV Chicago reports:
CHICAGO A 14-year-old girl was subjected to ridicule and emotional distress from other students at her school when a classmate spread the word that she was taking birth control pills, according to a lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court on Tuesday.

Britney Oliver, found out that the girl was taking birth control from her mother, Susan Oliver, a Walgreen pharmacist, the suit says.

Susan Oliver was employed as a pharmacy technician at a Walgreen store in Posen when the unnamed 14-year-old picked up a prescription for Ortho Tri-Cyclen, birth control pills, at the store on Feb. 13, the suit said. Oliver told her daughter Britney that the girl, a classmate of hers, had a prescription for and picked up the pills, the suit says.

Britney shared that confidential information with many students at the school, and as a result, the 14-year-old, “Jane Doe,” suffered mental anguish, severe emotional distress and was the target of ridicule among peers, the suit says.
