A military family who lost custody of their autistic son after they refused to transition his gender are suing a major DC hospital.
The family said their boy had never shown any desire to become a girl until, at 16, he was hospitalized for self-harming after a bitter breakup with his girlfriend in 2021.
Staff at Children's National Hospital informed the family that he wanted to be female and should be referred to using she/her pronouns going forward, the suit claims.
His army veteran parents, from Prince George County in Maryland, rejected the suggestion, saying their son was 'impressionable' due to being autistic.
They have accused the hospital of starting a 'full-on campaign to transgender this child' and accused staff of 'mental re-programming', saying their son had been forced to write letters to friends disavowing his previous male identity.
According to the lawsuit, the hospital used its emergency policies to keep the boy in its units and reported the parents to child protection services...
The parents, who are in their 40s and African-American, say their son was at risk because his condition means he is vulnerable to social manipulation.
They have spoken exclusively to DailyMail.com but want to remain anonymous to protect their estranged son's privacy.
The boy's father revealed how they had to sell their thriving business and four-bedroom family home to cover legal costs.
The father said: 'This has been devastating. It drained so much money, there is no money left.
'It changed our entire way of life, with the loss of a child and then with the loss of our income.'

Well that's only because we haven't used the baseball bat solution to this problem.
I dare say if some of these people got the beating they deserved, they would be far more afraid of that than getting sued.
I wish these parents luck, they’re going to need it. It’s unconscionable what the “medical community” has any kind of authority, real or perceived, to get away with this sickening behavior.
I don’t recognize this country anymore.
Out of morbid curiosity, I’d like to see this poor child’s parents’ voting records.
so in May 2021 he declared he’s LGBT, uses male pronouns.
so a queer male.
But in November of the same year he tries to kill himself b/c his girlfriend broke up with him?
Clearly he was ripe for the pickin’. Why’s he still in foster care at 19? I thought you age out at 18.

Live in DC, you get what you voted for...“
If Harris wins you can replace DC with USA in your post. MSM is completely re-imaging Harris, they even removed her rating in the congressional record.
If a hospital or school tells you that your child wants to “transition” to opposite sex, you should say “Yes, of course,” then quickly and quietly pack up and move to another state where sanity still rules. Even then, keep your kids out or government schools.
We homeschooled our kids and our kids are doing the same with our grandkids.
The lawfare against Trump proved that the courts are now just another left-wing tool.
They’re military and were living in PG County.
The health secretary Rachel Levine is in on this.
They took the child to meet that pervert.
Seen an article on this the other day.
Schools are legally grooming your children. Then they can transition them. If parents disagree, they lose custody. How is this different from Sodom? Judgment is coming
They are/were military. They lived in the NCR because he accepted orders to serve there.
PG County is in Maryland. Close to DC, but not...
Are conservatives supposed to abandon their homes for red areas once the left gains 50.1% of the vote? Good luck with what you deserve bud.
Florida did try.
A judge decided the law went against the opinion of “experts” and was thus unconstitutional:

“Children’s” hospitals are universally evil.
Remember when the trans freaks were saying that a decision for a child to “transition” should be left solely up to the child’s family and their physician? That was like 5 minutes ago.
I will say as I’m thinking right now this country actually deserves a president Harris. But I hope God spares us for the sake of the remnant.
Kidnapping by the State for medical experimentation.
Plain and simple.
