Yes, but in your examples, the 'modern' State (eg. Ontario) is only too happy to enable the parents' pursuit of anti-psychotics for the burgeoning teenagers (who is actually being 'treated' here?) or gender-bending drugs and surgery for the confused children. 
Inconsistencies in heeding the parents' wishes, often promulgated by the politics of the day, not medicine or psychiatry.
The public health system (and the public education system) do not belong to the 'public', it seems.
