Bringing
Medical Freedom
to Rhode Island
Protecting Parental Rights & Medical Freedom
Parents - Not Bureaucrats - In Charge of Our Kids
As a father, an entrepreneur, and a fierce believer in liberty, Vic Mellor champions Medical Freedom: parents – not the government, not distant school boards, not Big Pharma – hold the primary right to decide how their children are educated, raised, and medically treated.
Actions Matter
Where the Threats Are Real
Across America, policies are being pushed that quietly chip away at parental authority:
- Schools using sensitive curricula without full transparency.
- Health systems offering or mandating treatments for minors without explicit parental consent.
- Government or medical mandates restricting choices for what gets in (or stays out) of our children’s bodies and classrooms. Vic says that ends now.

Vic’s Plan for Rhode Island
- Full Curriculum Transparency. Schools will be required to notify parents in advance—and clearly—about any sensitive topics, sex-education modules or controversial materials being covered in class. No more surprises.
- Parental Consent for Health Decisions. From puberty blockers to radical treatments for minors, any life-altering care requires parental decision-making, not just school nurses or state “guidance.”
- True Medical Freedom for Families. Parents should choose their children’s treatments and vaccinations. They shouldn’t be forced into one-size-fits-all mandates or pushed aside because someone else claims to know better.
- School Choice That Empowers Working Families. Competition raises quality. Whether it’s public charter, private or homeschool, every Rhode Island family deserves the chance to enter the school system that aligns with its values.
- Defending Families from Government Overreach. In Washington, Vic will sponsor legislation that directly returns authority to parents and pushes back against any mandate that bites into that authority.
Actions Matter
Why It Matters
Societies that respect parental rights thrive: kids flourish when parents lead. When the state or institutions get to dictate what children think, how they live, and what happens to their bodies—freedom loses. Vic believes Rhode Island can lead the way and set the standard.
