Parents of a 17-year-old girl lost custody of their daughter for opposing her wish for transgender medical treatments.
Judge Sylvia Sieve Hendon of Hamilton County, Ohio has allowed the girl to be taken into the custody of her grandparents – who support her medical transition – allowing them to make decisions that will further along her physical transition to the opposite sex.
According to CNN, Hendon ordered that the family’s names not be released.
The parents reportedly continued to call their daughter by her given name, rather than a male name, and refused to consent to hormone treatments that were recommended by her medical team. The girl claimed she became suicidal as a result of her parents’ refusal to accept that she wanted to transition to a male.
“We think the grandparents are the ones who have an open mind and will … make this sort of decision best for the child,” said attorney Paul Hunt, who represents the court-appointed guardian ad litem. “The parents have clearly indicated that they’re not open to it.”
According to the news story, the parents argued their daughter was not “even close to being able to make such a life-altering decision at this time.” A county prosecutor, however, claimed the parents were opposed to their daughter transitioning to become a male because of their Christian religious beliefs.

Parents Lose Custody of Daughter for Opposing Transgender Medical Treatments
Do the parents have to pay for the addadictomy as well?
America . . . a nation that has lost its moral compass.
Let’s hope when her mentally ill brain matures she will reconcile with her parents. Many, many transgender people regret what they have done.
I pray that she can and not not commit suicide before then.
I guess there is no such thing as parental rights anymore. The state takes that upon itself. Where in the Constitution is this “right” bestowed on any minor?? This is flat out BS. The judge should be hung IMO. Somewhere in here is an attorney who should follow.
America . . . a nation that has lost its moral compass.
The girl has been brainwashed into a mental dystopia.
The mental dystopia is the cause of her suicidal thoughts
Her parents love her and want only the best for her
Her grandparents are morons
The judge is an absolute idiot
Absolutely!
A 17 year old can become emancipated in nearly every court in America.
However, the Judge and Grandparents are party to accommodating mental illness.
Lets not forget those who won’t let children apply sunscreen without a doctor’s note but children, feel free to mutilate your body because of mental illness and we will take your parents to court to make sure it happens.

Up to 90% of teens revert back to their gender without surgery. The suicide rate of those who follow through is staggering. Hold the judge and ‘medical team’ responsible for the outcome.
I misspoke.
The grandparents aren’t morons (IQ 51-70)) they are imbiciles (IQ 26-50)
The judge is still an idiot (IQ 0-25)

You can’t get a tattoo until you are 18 because it is a permanent alteration. But if you want to become a chick with a dick or get an abortion it is ok.
The judge is a criminal child abuser enabling this

Couldn’t agree more, Lera. The world has gone insane.
Two other points:
1.”hormone treatments that were recommended by her medical team.” How about recommending she see a psychologist? She sounds like an average mixed-up teen who has been messed up by the incessant drumbeat from Hollywood about how ‘great’ it is to be gay/transgender.
2. The real problem is apparently the parents’ Christian beliefs. Can’t have any Judeo-Christian beliefs anymore.

This is a test case to set the precedent.
A 17 year old is almost a legal adult. Wait a couple months, and the mentally ill teen can decide for themselves.
The court is intentionally saying, “Yes, we can take a child from the parents for this reason.”
Next step is invoking this precedent for younger children.
About 20 years ago our son got hit by a pitch in the hand and it broke one of his fingers.
Took him to the emergency room and the doctors had a couple of different options of how to fix it. Our son was 9 at the time.
They didn’t sit with him and ask him what he wanted to do - they spoke with my wife and me, and as the parents of a minor we made the decisions about how to best treat him after getting the doctors’ input and recommendations.
So a kid can’t be treated for a broken finger w/o parents giving the OK.
But here the kid can decide on something a tad more serious, and if the parents don’t agree, then take the kid away from them.
Seems more than a bit ridiculous.
