Virginia parents could face a felony or misdemeanor charge if they do not affirm their child’s sexual orientation and gender identity, according to a state lawmaker with plans to introduce the legislation in Virginia's upcoming legislative session.
Her bill would expand the state’s definition of child abuse and neglect to include parents who do not affirm their child’s gender identity or sexual orientation.
“If the child shares with those mandated reporters, what they are going through, we are talking about not only physical abuse or mental abuse, what the job of that mandated reporter is to inform Child Protective Services (CPS),” Guzman told 7News. “And then that's how everybody gets involved. There's also an investigation in place that is not only from a social worker but there's also a police investigation before we make the decision that there is going to be a CPS charge.”
“As shocking and evil as this is, it is not surprising,” Ian Prior, executive director of Fight for Schools, told The Daily Signal on Friday. “Schools in Virginia are keeping parents out of the loop when their children tell staff that they … identify as a different sex. The very reason schools are doing this is because they believe that parents’ failure to affirm is ‘abuse.’”
“Guzman’s bill is a natural progression from what the woke Left is pushing,” Prior warned. “But make no mistake: They will lose this fight. Politicians that push it will be defeated. Organizations that try to separate children from caring parents will be prosecuted and sued. The sick and twisted agenda of these activists will be a relic of the past. And they will join the ranks of history’s villains.”
“Delegate Guzman’s proposed policy is breathtakingly audacious—and unconstitutional,” Nicole Neily, president and founder of Parents Defending Education, told The Daily Signal. “Sadly, she is well within the mainstream of her profession on this issue—which has been a concern of parents across the country, who have watched the actions of school counselors and psychologists with growing alarm.”
Neily added: “Parents have a clearly established right to direct the upbringing of their children—and should this appalling policy be codified into law, it will be challenged in court immediately.”
Utterly horrifying.
These zealots think they are your children’s parents, and they’ll put you in jail if you disagree.

as with any great performance, there must be a crescendo, an apex, the stunning conclusion. I believe this is it for clown world. "People" will eventually realize that anyone who thinks like this, is mentally ill, and should be institutionalized rather than applauded. No, parents who keep their kids from making the dumbest mistake of their lives don't need to go to jail, they need to be applauded for caring enough to stop this lunacy.
When you are grown, play dress up and lop off your body parts, but when you are a kid, be a kid, grow, learn, evolve.
And take off that stupid red nose.

A law should be immediately put into effect - a child cannot possibly have the life experience to know exactly who or what they are, and upon reaching the age of 18, they can then be allowed to decide if they are male, female or whatever.
And if I had young children I would enroll them into a first rate private school, away from all this locker room nonsense, because that's what it is.
Putting ideas into impressionable children's minds should be the crime, not trying to protect them from these pervs.

Ummm, NO.
Normal, non-mental cases children KNOW they are boys and girls, when not groomed by perverts.
That law of your should apply only when they want to change gender, and then only after counselling by NORMAL people.

Ummmm, what did you think I was saying??
Children should not even have to hear any of this nonsense.

Sane people know this is all BS and is rightfully being pushed back on !
On a more practical note, for parents whose kids have fallen prey to this ‘Fad” and are just simply rebelling, as most kids do, maybe use their silly pronouns. Now, hear me out, lol, the stipulation would be, “ you’re free to explore these feelings and figure them out, BUT absolutely NO puberty blockers or surgeries until you’re an adult ! Explain the risks and research with your kids. Explain to them it’s your duty to keep them safe and healthy and the reasons for your concerns, followed by I Love You enough to be the bad guy if need be.
