re: Indiana parents warn nation after child is removed from home for improper pronoun usage

This is true in all 50 states. Even in rural counties/parishes. If a threat is deemed as 'credible' which is a very low bar today then CPS will take the kid for psychological evaluation and depending on the leanings of the psych and case worker it can lead to months of therapy and an open CPS case, even if the child says "I was just venting, I want to go home." I have seen it when a child of some good friends of mine got upset over something and threatened this in a message and snap story to get attention from friends and throw a 'woe is me' pity party. Friends showed to parent, parent called CPS, kid was picked up at school the next day, and parents found out after the child was already in state care. This was probably a year ago in a rural/red county and it took weeks for them to get their child back and they still get pop-in visits from CPS.

Yea it’s fricked up.


It’s one of those things that you want to take seriously because the potential consequences are as serious as it gets, but there’s no denying that it can be abused easily by a angsty teen lashing out. And if the wrong people hear type of stuff they are duty bound to report. And once it’s reported that a whole world of shite to deal with even if the kid “recants”


Downvote away but based on the info in this thread this seems like a “died with covid” story.


The kid was removed while claiming to be a tranny, not removed because they were claiming to be a tranny.

Was more than one kid involved?

We have a "they/them" chick at work. It really is depressing. I knew I hated that shite even when it was an abstract concept. Now that my colleagues and I are forced to participate in this farce, I hate it so much more than I could ever have anticipated. We're paid above market, and given "golden handcuff" compensation plans, because the company is a lucrative shitshow in so many ways, but this "they/them" crap is really trying me.

I guess maybe there's some wiggle room to at least get "them" reassigned far, far away from me, but more likely than that is just continued alcoholism on my part as I deal with "them" until enough of my stock awards vest to justify hauling arse. And it's all just because some young, naive chick (who I actually feel somewhat sorry for) wants attention.

No doubt about it. Enough dead DCS workers and maybe democrats will get the point we ain’t playing fantasy land

because they stopped taking the kid to court ordered therapy and withdrew him from school

Likely the therapist was gender affirming, meaning he/she had no interest in helping the boy's gender dysphoria.

And seemingly a kid with a lot of problems who has parents that seem more intent on making some kind of statement than doing what they can to actually help the kid.

This country is falling into the deepest pits of hell.

I enjoy seeing all the people here claiming victimhood while ignoring facts.

I'm sure people will downvote and scream all sorts of names, but whatever. Everyone wants to pretend to be a victim rather than dealing with reality and our own shortcomings as people.

No wonder the government regularly screws us over so easily. They do it then we blame whoever is opposite us so we feel better about it.

Hurrr durrr
