What is the name of your state? Illinois

I've been reading this forum and curious abotu something that happened when I was fourteen. I used to hang out with a boy a lot and although we never had sex, I suspect my parents THOUGHT we had for a long while, as well as his own.

One day my father stormed up stairs saying he'd ofund the boy's glasses in the back seat of the car, and thought that I'd met him there and had sex with him that morning while everyone was sleeping (boy had a early morning paper route)

To be honest, I hadn't, I hadn't seen him since the previous afternoon since my mother had driven us to the skating rink and he'd accidently left them in the back seat where he was sitting (me in front passenger seat)

My father insisted he would take me to the hospital because I was lying, and they would be able to tell. Terrified of anyone touching me like that I said I refused to go and locked myself in my room until it all blew over and some light was shed on the situation.

What I want ot know is, CAN a parent legally do that to their child, take them to some doctor or hospital and force them to do a test. Reading these posts, I see a lot of situations with older men and such where young girls are asking consent to have sex, trying to hide it from their parents.

The parent can consent for medical treatment/tests of their minor child.

The minor child can consent for medical care/treatment for pregnancy/birth control/abortion without parental permission or in an emergency, permission can be granted by locus parentis.

A minor female may not be forced to undergo an abortion.
