The Forst A,emd,emt rogjts pf parents of a self-styled "transgendered" child are being trampled by an Ohio prosecutor and social service worker who think they know how best to deal with the troubled youth. The busybodies demand the child be turned over to grandparents because she is being "abused" by the parents, who make the kid attend Catholic school and answer to her given female name!

Conservative HQ has the story:

"The minor was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and gender dysphoria after being hospitalized in 2016. Doctors decided that because she wants to identify as a male, she should be given testosterone and sex "change” drugs.

But the girl’s parents objected, arguing that they did not think that such "treatment" was in their daughter’s best interest.:

End excerpt.

Well, apparently parents aren't allowed to object - or to practice their First Amendment religious rights:

"Now here’s the most chilling part of the story.

Fr. Hodges reports the girl’s and the grandparents’ lawyers both listed additional complaints about alleged parental mistreatment. The former claimed the parents’ sending their daughter to Catholic school where the dress code requires female clothing "caused additional trauma and anxiety” increasing her "suicidal ideation.” The later said answering to her real (female) name or even hearing it, or just seeing it on documents "has become a very big trigger” which "caused trauma.”

Pro-transgender Hamilton County Prosecutor Donald Clancy has intervened in the case, arguing that the parents are religiously motivated. He said the father commented that "any kind of transition at all would go against his core beliefs.”

The complaint alleges that the father told his daughter to kill herself because she was "going to hell anyway” for rejecting her female biology. It also accuses the parents of removing their daughter from transgender therapy and seeking "Christian” counseling for her. The complaint claims the counseling simply consisted of the girl sitting for six hours listening to the Bible.

The parents' attorney denied the prosecution’s allegations. Brinkman affirmed that the parents "have done their due diligence contacting medical professionals, collecting thousands of hours of research and relying on … their observation of their own child … that led them to the conclusion that (a sex change hormone injection) is not in their child’s best interest.”

End excerpt.

So, the parents have no right to "impose" their religious views on their child! Common sense and science aside, the parents don't even have freedom of religion or freedom to protect their child as they see fit.

This is despicable, and it is more in line with Nazi experimentation than with a free America.
