Yes, there are those who would immediately accuse a parent or caregiver of sexually abusing a minor by taking their rectal temperature. If rectal temperatures were not to be taken, then no doubt here in the states, legislation would be proposed.
The reality is this: If you're a parent and neglected to obtain your child's body temperature (rectal route-either by necessity, condition or your preference as a parent(s)) and the child, later had to be brought to an ER for treatment that earlier might have thwarted a bacterial of life threatening condition, based on a rectal measurement, you as a parent, might well be charged with child endangerment or neglect.
Whether a parent chooses to take their children's temperatures by ear, mouth, rectum or swipe, it is their decision, and it is their child they are caring for.
My biggest fear is that governments (mostly politicians, but medical people too, who have certain questionable agendas) at all levels here are chomping at the bit to tell you what is best for you or your children or even elder parents if applicable, medically as opposed to your intuition and the recommendations and suggestions of your, your elder parents or your child's physician.
