In the article, Shrier exposes the fact that CPS is often on board with this pressure and that some states make it very easy for children to get sucked out of the home and into the transgender system. When children with mental health issues – anxiety, depression, eating disorders, autism spectrum issues – come into their orbit, if the word “gender” comes up, social workers will make every effort to push the children into the system and toward “gender” treatment. This doesn’t mean talk therapy. It means that young teens, without parental guidance, can start taking dangerous hormones and even have surgery.
You also need to be prepared to move on a moments notice.
I have a friend who’s kid has some issues. They picked up and left for Israel when they got wind CPS might come visit bc of some lies the kid was telling a counselor.
Didn’t “flee” bc they hadn’t been cited, just left.
Pls also know that if your child is recommended for inpatient care, there is no immediate 2nd opinion permitted.
11 yo grandson evaluated, inpatient recommended, CPS notified when declined.
Took child to childrens hospital for evaluation... they said “NO” INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT ..CPS still involved.
Pls pray for this family.
Good article. The overreach of CPS is staggering. There are even some Freepers who back Tucker Carlson’s crusade to sic CPS on parents making health decisions for their own children re masking.

objective sex = biological sex (cannot be changed)
subjective gender = specification of the criterion of masculine or feminine traits applied to the behavior of the person. (can be changed)
Me own brother’s baby daughter (then 13 y.o. she’s now grown, educated and a P.E., and is grateful for her parent’s love) lied to a “counseler” when she didn’t get her way (her parents were too strict for her wilding ways). Four years of the “system” bankrupted my brother due to hiring lawyers/court/therapy for the parents/private boarding school/etc.
Don’t get me started on CPS.
I’d read the suggested book but I know it’d make my blood boil. As a homeschooled child, I had an encounter with a CPS worker. Would have had more, if not for parents who knew how to push buttons, pull levers and call the private numbers of influential people. This was, by design, not obvious to the CPS biddy.
Among the lessons derived from the experience: “presumed innocent” does not apply to anyone in the crosshairs of CPS.
We heard that verbatim from a friend who’s a judge. Probably the one who called off the dogs.
And homeschooling is legal in my state. Strictly controlled and discouraged (thus the CPS), but legal.
Some ten years on, I now know lots of people who are constantly observed by CPS. There are no limits except when CPS lacks sufficient manpower. If they have someone available to hassle you...why not?
“Fortunately, Ahmed talked to a lawyer and a psychiatrist before engaging with the people controlling his son and was able to get his son out of the hospital, at which point the family literally fled the state.”
This would be my best advice too. Fleeing the state may seem extreme, but in hindsight it might appear the least expensive option.
Rule #1: Spank your kids when they’re being a brat.
Rule #2: NEVER let the ‘Mental Health System’ get anywhere near your kids - make them deal with their problem, or help them deal with their problems.
Rule #3: Never let the public schools near your kids, and be careful with private schools too...as they will violate Rule #2 without even telling you.
...and good luck. While many of you may hate RINOs, it is the DEMOCRATS who are after your kids, and don’t forget that.
I’m surprised that more CPS workers don’t end up dead.
I wonder how many homosexual pedophiles have sought employment at CPS in anticipation of new meat.
