European Court of Human Rights
“The taking of blood samples and of intimate photographs of a girl aged nine, without her parents’ consent, violated article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, guaranteeing the right to respect for private and family life. The absence of a common law duty of care owed to parents, violated article 13, providing for the right to an effective remedy.”
