Since masking a child is recognized under the pa code as child abuse, title 23 §6303 (b. 1)(8. ii) 8(v), all parents have the right to refuse to mask their children and should be informed of the risks involved if they allow their child to be masked, as it restricts their breathing of oxygen, and also the long term social, and psychological effects that masks cause if worn by children.
