I live in Canada. They took my daughter from me at 12 years old for not taking her to McMaster Childrens Hospital in Hamilton for a consultation for a double mastectomy at her request. She was only 12 years old!! I spent a fortune in court trying to protect her from this, and lost. I haven't been allowed to see or speak to her in three years now. I cry for my beautiful baby every day. I miss her so much. It is so hard to go on. We are living in evil times, that the state would hurt children like this. Even murderers in prison get to see their kids!! All I lived for was for her. All I tried to do was protect her, to let her grow up. I don't have any idea what they have done to her and it makes me want to scream. Sometimes I do scream. No one is listening, though.

I went through a situation where my son was abducted and taken internationally. US consulate worked in conjunction with local law enforcement, found the child and the mother, and told me I had a case, but advised me to go the civil route. Reason being - once they arrested the mother and charged her, my child would then be a ward of the state and in the Foster Care system.

You can call CPS 5 times on a visibly abused child covered in bruises, underweight, living in squalor and nothing will be done for “lack of evidence”. Yet the second someone cries transgender they swoop in like SWAT throwing the “rule book” out the window. I feel for this family. This madness has to stop.

I have a friend in Missouri. He was living in California with his wife and daughter when they were called into the school for a consultation. At the consultation they were told their daughter was transgender and required their support. There was a social worker present and it was obvious agree or else. The father immediately pretended to go along with the whole thing, Said they would deliver her the next morning to the hospital for her required treatment. They confiscated her phone. They went home. packed a few bags and left for rural Missouri. They stayed in a hotel with one room and no internet. Family members helped them sell their home and deliver their stuff. It took a month but after a month of joining a local church group and her making new friends. After the month she went back to the pink and pretty girlie girl she had been before.

I think that both scenarios are pretty scary. Why couldn't she experiment without having to be manipulated by adults into either being a boy or a pink stereotype? People have personalities, people are complex beings. Kids go through phases. Let them do that and experiment with clothes and styling. Nobody is born in the "wrong" body by the way. Just wanted to make that clear. Mutilation should not be an option.
@thomasfisher763 Місяць тому
@xyxy5978 I completely agree. It's so disturbing that you have to worry as a parent now that unless your daughter is just a straight up barbie doll,she might be confused as trans and if she's open mind enough to be persuaded, say bye bye to the estrogen and hello to the testosterone. Nevermind the proven medical fact that low estrogen in females results in early onset osteoporosis, infertility, overall brain development and even an increase of grey matter in the brain leading to alzheimers and dementia. Tomboy is no longer a thing. That SO 2000s... its all about transboys now and you better play along or the spineless little government weasle is gonna take your kid away and play god with them. So f*cking disgusting. I wish the kids could just be left alone.

@@xyxy5978 The parents did let her choose. The people pushing transgender were the ones who were manipulating her to deny her character which was feminine pink and pretty. She was a girlie girl until the trans people got a hold of her.

Our daughter was in a hospital in WA state under similar circumstances. We had a Navy Seal on stand by, just in case. Fortunately, we had a nurse on our side who helped us check out when the social worker wasn't there. We had to flee our state. There were several years of complete Hell, which was due to all the people who go along with the madness. The cost was immense. We stuck with truth and now a few years later, our daughter is an adult comfortable with her sex and we have a good relationship, no thanks to any and all who are complicit in this evil. My husband and I will never be the same. But we won, because truth wins and we never waivered. Bless this family and Jordan for highlighting this horror.

Bull! A navy seal? Right and he was willing to go to jail for the rest of his life for cr4ossing state lines with a minor child. That would be felony kidnapping for the 1st charge. there are many others to stack on whether good intentioned or not.

I’m so glad I began to teach my daughter about brainwashing starting when she was five. To know the difference between “suggestions” from outside of ourselves and our own genuine thoughts and feelings. I taught her about how TV, movies, online media etc is used to influence how people think feel and behave. They want your time on their platforms, your money or your vote or whatever it is they’re wanting. I used terminology and concepts she would understand. I also respected her having her own opinions and gave her opinions consideration. I nurtured that we are a TEAM. I fostered that she had a measure of equal standing in the family not putting myself above her. The sooner she was skeptical thinking on her own the better. She knew her parents were the ultimate authority. She also knew it mattered to us her parents what she felt and thought. We also spent a lot of time actively communicating with her. At one point she was going to “Gay club” where the indoctrination was happening. For a period she was getting pulled in to the trans ideology. She had to wrestle with it for a bit and we were there pushing against it. Now she looks back on that time with anger towards the teachers. The word she uses is “betrayed”. But she made it through. I do believe one of the reasons she made it through is what we did early on. Btw- one of the primary examples I gave her when she was young as an example of a narrative children are constantly getting via the tv and media targeting them- shows where parents are at odds with children. This story line is constant in child targeted media. Parents don’t listen. Parents don’t understand. Kids are sulking and alone, slamming bedroom doors and going outside of family for solutions. Disney is known for storylines totally emancipating children from parents. Parent dies- child goes on an adventure. Over and over and over. I knew my daughter would see this narrative. I told her what she sees in tv and movies IS NOT REAL. The characters aren’t real, what they do is not real. In our real life we are a team. We don’t create and live our lives according to these FAKE shows and characters. WE write the scripts of our own lives according to what WE want for ourselves. We are a TEAM. We are for each other. We have each other. This is what I AFFIRMED to my daughter! She could see that what I had spoken was truth. She even began to point it out to me among other “suggestions” she could see in the subtext of the propaganda. We must equip our children with the ability to discern! To have a grasp on their own minds! To have any chance of winning against the brainwashing.

I'm a cop. I can't count the number of times I've officially called CPS for kids in crack houses, kids being neglected, kids being left alone all day because mom is off scoring, all that sort of thing. CPS never called back most of the time and never saw the kids. The only time I've seen them take a kid that needed taking it took the older kid testing positive for crack 3 times and being extremely malnourished (he was 5) and the baby testing positive for crack. But I've also seen them go hard after normal parents who just disciplined their kids as needed.

Had that been in place already I fear my family would be this family right now. She’s well past the I’m a boy stage now thankfully and can see her parents saved her.

I worked in a children's hospital for 6 years in the midwest. If your child is suicidal do NOT take them to your local hospital. If an overdose is possible I would call poison control first unless it's obvious your child is in urgent danger. It's absolutely common practice for a social worker to talk alone with your child and be the "advocate".... one of the conversations is asking your child if they identify has another gender. It's also common practice to force your child to in patient care in hospital and then transferred to in patient care at an adolescent psych hospital, which is almost always unnecessary and causes real harm. They will take the side of the child over the parents in gender affirmation. It's sickening what's happening and so shocking.

So important for parents to hear. I was a nurse from 2007-2022 when I let my license expire because of the fraud. Five of those years I was a middle school nurse.I couldn’t believe how the liberal superintendent, principal, guidance councilor, and school board were trying to push a clinic in school.... where parents weren’t with their children. I would simply remind them that it is not in my contract, and that it was a terrible idea. I have so many sickening stories about my time working in schools and summer camps. But I’ll summarize it with this: parents - you had better be breathing down the neck of every adult your child comes in contact with. Let the schools know you are watching them, be civil & collaborative, but do not be friendly. Teach your kids what these groomers are doing. Tell them - tell them these people would be arrested and go to jail if they did this in the past, tell them they are perverts, tell your kids that if these people try and keep secrets from mom and dad they are bad people. The cult is so bad now that we even have to talk about what kind of people use “preferred pronouns”, wear rainbows, dye their hair pink, etc. There is a uniform that has been adopted by these creeps - tell your kids. My God tell them how bad it is before this evil gets their claws in them.

Telling parents not to take children to hospital is very dangerous. Social workers practice self- awareness, critical reflection and are under supervision and have to adhere to strick rules to be considered social workers. They have to before even a word is said, understand their personal background and the impact on practice. A risk assessment needs to be done, if this child dies the pain that the parents will have to face is unthinkable. the child is calling for help. parents not always know the extent of circumstances. Look for help. Engage with your pastor, church. If a has child identity issues, developmentally something is affecting then. Peer pressure and the need for acceptance.lets not look for something to blame. Let's build each other up. Just listen to the child and be accepting of him or her as human being. Who likes to be judge ? I was a teenager with many issues, did self harm and move to another country. My mother never ask for help, she continues to be cold and distant. Being the perfect Christian., thankfully for me my father was loving and understanding. For that I am grateful every day.

Not quite. Dewine keeps weaseling to appease the medical industrial complex who stands to gain over $1.5 Million over the (shortened) lifetime of every "trans child" who gets snared in. Here's the update as of late January: "Ohio’s law makes an exception for minors who were already receiving gender-affirming care before the measure’s effective date. However, all minors and trans adults could face more barriers to such care due to a set of administrative rules that DeWine announced after he vetoed the bill last month. These rules require trans patients under 21 to receive at least six months of therapy before they can receive puberty blockers, hormone therapy or surgery. They also require a multidisciplinary team of physicians, such as an endocrinologist and psychiatrist, to be involved in a trans patient’s treatment plan, among other requirements. When DeWine announced the rules this month, he said he was concerned about substandard clinics in the state that could be providing trans adults with hormone therapy “without the lead-in psychiatric care that we know is so very, very important.”

As a lawyer, I've represented parents and children dealing with the child welfare system. This video has inspired me to put myself out there much more to take on cases like these. As Todd mentioned here, the laws are on the books (in Montana, Tennessee (where I live), and other states with conservative legislatures) to protect families from the government, but they are not being followed. For example, if Montana is like Tennessee, there should have been a trial to determine if there was clear and convincing evidence that they were abusing or neglecting their daughter. If Montana could not provide such evidence, then their daughter should have been immediately returned to them. As someone who grew up in foster care and spent much of my adult life volunteering or working within it, I'm intimately aware of the many problems of the child welfare system. The problems that always existed have become so much worse now that the federal government, liberal state governments, and many "woke" child welfare professionals (even in conservative states) are pushing transgender ideology. I just watched the extra half hour on The Daily Wire and learned that their story was even worse. Thank you Todd and Krista for sharing your story!

The CPS worker of course is listening to the teen, but there is a mountain of bureaucratic rules and liability that they must follow and consider. The right thing was done when the child was placed on a hold for making self harm statements because when people do that, we ensure that they are unable to harm themselves. However, the story seems to have turned dark from that point forward due to this idea of gender affirming care and what constitutes neglect or abuse.

It was brutal fighting her father, the school, multiple therapists, peers, DCFS, doctors, social workers, and even some of her church leaders. Then divine intervention stepped in. The step mom dropped dead and dad went to prison (not shockingly for being a pedo), and within weeks the evil left my girl. It wasn’t even a slow process. It was rapid! She is nearly 18 now and everyone comments on how much light radiates from her. She received new life! I fought like hell and was very blessed by the change in circumstances. I share this to illuminate how influential the toxic lies from a trusted source can be. And how removing that source can make all the difference. Keep fighting! It’s worth it!

She's now almost ten and she only knows me through a computer screen once a week, where I can't actually talk to her because her Grandma monitors the call. The people in government who do things like this, or even just let them happen, deserve all the fires of hell.

I almost went through this with my son in HS. He was leaving home, going to school and taking female clothes with him behind our backs. One day one of the teachers called me, telling me he was suicidal because they have them take mental health evaluations. I ended up taking him to a therapist, and an outpatient program for six weeks. They were trying to get me to put him on anti-depressants and anxiety medication. I said no, he just needs someone to talk to. He got a little better but continued to wear female clothes and wigs. We talked about how he feels and he said he didn’t want to transition, he just likes wearing female clothes and pretending like he’s a woman. He’s always been a sensitive, soft spoken and a very creative boy and struggled with making friends in school as well. We also found out later on he was sexually abused by a family member when he was younger. There’s a lot of trauma with alot of these kids that’s not being addressed. He still dresses like a woman today (he’s 21) and it still breaks my heart. I pray he grows into liking himself as a man and who God created him to be. This stuff has to stop. 😢

I was long out of the house when my dad got shut of my very toxic mother. Was really looking forward to starting fresh and building a healthy relationship with him as an adult. At 51, he married a younger woman (42) who was quite the sparkler. I was kind of happy for him, I figured he deserved some happiness after so many bad years with my mom but wasn't thrilled about having my main chance with my dad taken away. I figured I'd still be able to start a new relationship with him, just not maybe as easily as before. I was wrong. I realize in hindsight she was a gold digger who only saw my dad's kids as competition for her and her adult kids and worked hard to keep him away from us. And she succeeded stunningly. 2 years before he died at 64, he told all of us kids he was done with us and that's the last I heard from him. I realized in hindsight the few updates she broadcast about his cancer and deteriorating condition were announcements of triumph on her part, she was that much closer to getting the money she had married him for. I didn't make the long trip back to see him before he died, didn't really know he was in that bad of condition, the updates his wife sent out were pretty sparse but my brothers both saw him before he died and he didn't claim either one of them. All he had to do was say "we haven't had the best relationship and, as the parent, I'm largely the cause of that but I want you to know you've done well and I'm proud of you." Instead, he brushed both my brothers off and refused any responsibility right up to the last. Not only did our dad not re-claim any of us after divorcing all of us, he claimed his wife's very worthless kids as his own. We were his legitimate offspring and heirs but he declared us illegitimate, not for anything we've done, but because he was weak when it came to women. The ultimate slap in the face was dad's wife's children pulling up to dad's funeral in new cars. He had loaned them money endlessly that had never been much repaid, bought one a house, and he wasn't even cold before they started splurging on his money. The stereotype of the wicked step mother isn't just a stereotype but it doesn't give any mention of the weak, gullible father who repaid his children's loyalty with a great big "fuck you."
