The law allows the state to offer sex change treatment to children even if the parents do not approve of it.
In a previous post you claimed you supported parental rights. You changed your mind pretty quickly my good friend.
As it stands now, licensed shelters in Washington can contact the children’s services department instead of parents if there are “compelling reasons” to do so.
The bill would add the pursuit of “protected health care services” to the list of “compelling reasons.” Protected health care services would include reproductive health care, meaning contraception and abortion, and gender-affirming care
Past practice the place where the kid was staying would attempt to contact the parents....That's if they know where the parents were. It only stands to reason that CYF would be better equipped and better able to not only to track down and find the parents but to streamline the process of reunification.
Now go back and look up the medical and legal definition of gender affirming care. It's not what you might think it is .
Parental rights are often set aside when they have done such a poor job of providing for and safeguarding the well being of their children to such an egregious extent that the state has no choice but to do something they would rather not have to do and that is to take governorship over the well being of the child. At that point the parents have lost their rights and have to prove that they can in fact fulfill their parental responsibilities .
In the meantime the Washington state legislature introduced the bill, passed the bill and the governor signed. It's up to the courts now. Now unless you live in the state of Washington and have a vested interest in the matter not a single resident of the state of Washington gives a flying facial fornication about what YOU think.
