California AB 957 authorizes courts to take transgender kids away from parents.

[Shaul]

The California legislature has passed AB 957 and sent it to the Governor. It revises the state's Family Code to authorize courts to remove children from the custody of their parents for failure to affirm the child's "gender identity".

This is evil. If it goes into effect it will destroy families and have multiple (presumbly) unintended consequences.

If they refuse to get help for their children.

 

[Viker]

Child neglect is evil.

Child neglect is evil.

Trying to use the fact that genuine child neglect is evil as cover for state neglect of children is even worse.

If parents are refusing to help their trans child, then who else should?

 

[Viker]

If parents starve a child, for what ever their mislead beliefs, then someone needs to intervene.

Refusing a child mental health service and affirmative well being is the same as starving them.

Using the power of the state to rip children away from their parents is an extreme measure that should only be used as a last resort. "Affirming gender" is insufficient cause for doing so, will harm the child and is itself child abuse by the state.

The mislead belief is that transgender people don't exist, that our needs are superficial and our plight is trivial or just made up.

No those are not moral equivalents at all.

Which is to say that it will be one factor among many in making a decision, not that they will automatically have their children taken away.

And I think that is appropriate, they should look at the entire picture.

"The California State Assembly has approved a bill, AB 957, making gender affirmation a factor to be considered in child custody cases. The bill, passed on Friday by a vote of 57-16, was previously approved by the California Senate with a vote of 30-9."

This is for child custody cases. I agree with it. No one is ripping children away from anyone.

If you are assuming "child custody" cases only apply to divorce cases that is wrong. For the purposes of this section of the Family Code a child custody hearing could be initiated by any reporting party. This would include teachers and health care workers who are required by law to report any suspected child abuser. Not allowed but required. They are "mandatory reporters". Which if this law goes into effect would include not "affirming" the gender identity of the child. The potentialities are quite dangerous for everyone involved, the parents and the child. Yes, this would lead to ripping children from their homes.

Not surprised givin it's in the People's State of California with authoritarian Democrats completely in charge whom in their own one party view, own other people's children in order to maintain a collective one state, one mind, one view.

The true totalitarian party. The true spirit of Communist China.

Watch the Master Supreme Governor sign it with glee.

So the opposite of Florida.

 

[Twilight Hue]

So the opposite of Florida.

I agree that Republicans shouldn't be chasing down people seeking abortions out of state. That is totalitarian behavior as well.

How so?

Totalitarian behavior is generally regarded as bad.
