    The child must be informed of the procedure and concur with his parent, who is giving written consent.

    Explanation:

    A child at that age can only assent, he cannot give consent. However, the child should be notified of the procedure and assent/concur with his parents who then gives consent for the operation to go on. An individual that is 18 years of age can give consent.
