Washington state bill hides runaway children from transgender-‘unsupportive’ parents

In the dark of night on the last day of the legislative session in Washington state, Senate Democrats passed Senate Bill 5599 , a breathtaking evisceration of parental rights. The bill would allow the state to legally hide runaway children from their parents if the parents don’t consent to their child’s “gender transition” or abortion . No allegation of abuse in the household is required.

This bill also applies to children from other states who may travel thousands of miles for such procedures not available to them at home, cementing Washington as a “sanctuary state” for runaway teens. And if that wasn’t enough, the bill allocates up to $7.5 million of Washington taxpayers’ money to the Office of Homeless Youth Prevention and Protection to provide grants to organizations to pay for gender transition and abortion procedures.

Insanity. This is govt. sanctioned kidnapping. 1. Move out of Blue states ASAP. 2. Congress needs to pass a national law making it illegal to perform gender transition surgery on minors and ensure parents have the right to protect their children from making decisions that change… https://t.co/mnJ52TRPy7
