After hearing from the Lindsay Clancy jurors, we've concluded that Massachusetts is a trash state. Then we came across this story from Fox News about a couple who have had the state take custody of their daughter because their Catholic faith won't allow them to "affirm" her chosen gender, a transition that they say was facilitated by a public school counselor. There's even a restraining order preventing the teen's family members from contacting her. This is the logical conclusion to all of the trans rights activism in state legislatures.
A Massachusetts family says the state took custody of their teenage daughter after they refused to affirm her as a boy, citing their Catholic faith.

The parents allege a school counselor socially transitioned their daughter without their knowledge, then reported them to the… pic.twitter.com/cpHWhMHTXb

… Department of Children and Families.
Now the state has guardianship, and a restraining order prevents the teen's parents and older brother from contacting her.
A judge has temporarily blocked the state from administering high-dose testosterone as the family fights the case. The next court hearing is set for Oct. 29.
Woke 1 was crazy, right? A school counselor reports a trans student's parents to the state, which takes custody of her and is fighting a judge to administer cross-sex hormones.
A gov't school hid this from the parents. The gov't then took the child. Now it forbids the parents from contacting their own child.

When a government becomes so destructive of the very rights it was instituted to secure, at what point does it become a moral duty to abolish it?
It was the communists' dream to take children from their parents and let the state bring them up according to the state ideology.

This is what is happening in this case.
Joe Biden did say your kids don’t belong to you when they’re in the classroom. Now look where that thinking has gotten us. pic.twitter.com/wp3AiVpRsE

This is an egregious violation of religious freedom and parental rights. The state government should be sued into oblivion.

State sponsored child grooming, with the state doubling down to not admit fault.

The parents should immediately cut off all support and contact, move to Florida, change thier names under seal, never contact or return.

It'll teach that slug daughter a lesson and fuck over the state.
Every single government employee involved should, at a minimum, spend the rest of their lives in prison. They deserve worse.

This is sick… Algonquin High school is a sewer of liberal depravity. Soccer moms with TDS and weak soy boy men at the root of it all.

This is absolutely INSANE this is happening in America! Since when does a school counselor have more control over a child than their own parents!

Why do they need to cite their Catholic beliefs?

Isn’t common sense enough? Isn’t the total absence of any kind of evidence to the contrary enough?
Some people question this story, saying some details must be missing. According to Grok:
Public reports from the family and coverage state physical abuse claims against the father were unfounded. Removal followed the parents’ refusal to use a male name or pronouns after an alleged secret social transition by a school counselor. DCF has not publicly detailed other neglect. Juvenile records are sealed; next hearing is Oct. 29.
This disgrace is the natural outcome of Massachusetts voters consistently electing Democratic leadership.

I don’t know enough about the details of this situation to judge it on its own. But it closely resembles the kind of scenario people have warned about for years — warnings that were often dismissed as fear-mongering. It is greatly concerning.

We've heard plenty of Democrats in power argue that schools should legally be able to "transition" students without informing the parents.
