However, a person of sound mind & judgement would allow the medical personnel the room needed to perform their duties for the treatment of the injured.
2. A parent running out onto the court to be by the side of their injured child, is not considered at the time to be of sound mind & judgement.
3. A parent can still be involved in the decisions of a child's medical treatment without being right there directly next to the child.

I'm putting myself in the place of the parent here rather than the official.
1. You will not stop me, and any attempt will be met with force. It may or may not be right, but that's how it is; so your best bet is to stay out of the way. You will not stop me from being at my child's side. You will not determine whether I'm interfering with medical personnel. Don't even try it.
2. You are not qualified to determine whether I am of sound mind. Any attempts to get between me and my child by you are likely to affect my sound mind, however. I'm normally not a violent person, nor are most people. Try separating a parent from their child, however, and things change drastically and quickly.
3. Perhaps, but you do not get to make that choice. The parent does.
Why do you insist in telling a parent in this situation what's best for them? How old are you again? Do you have children?
Medical first responders are trained to deal with parents here, because they have to get their input and permission to so much as give them pain killers.
And to answer a question Nevada asked before. Would I go in the ambulance? If there was room, you're damned right I would. If not, I'd be there ASAP. Let's just say the odds of me beating the ambulance to the hospital are pretty good.
