“It just comes down to love. I mean, if you love your child then you should do anything in the world for your child. And it’s as simple and as pure as that.”
This is not parental love. This is misguided, tragic indulgence. It’s as simple and pure as that. Parental love prepares a child for adulthood–momentary happiness has little to do with it.
Parental love sees beyond what a child currently wants, or thinks he wants, and gives him what he needs. What this child needs is unconditional love and a chance for his brain to mature and his body to fully develop.
It’s far beyond the comprehension of a child to see himself as an adult. To a child of nine, eighteen is a lifetime away. Neither Keat nor his parents can fathom what his life will be like as an adult. The physical and mental consequences of a chemically altered body through puberty cannot be fully understood and weighed.
What if Keat had Body Integrity Identity Disorder? The same feelings of being born wrong exist. A person with this disorder believes he or she would be happier without the appendages they were born with. Would these parents still be good parents by indulging this disorder with amputation before puberty?
They’re just trying to finish the job of screwing this kid up.
Yep, Child Abuse. The war on Children includes the systematic abortion, mutilation and exploitation of children.
I do not understand how this is legal.
The kid hasn’t even hit puberty yet. He doesn’t know anything!
Contrast this with that poor family out in Massachusetts.
I would say what I really think but my post will be zot’ed with all the bad words I’m thinking.
Yeah and it’s a really good idea to make all this insanity public, even having the face of the child out there? Sick. Any doctor who would do this to a nine year old boy is also sick.
CRIMINALS!!!!
This should be a crime.
Pure child abuse!
If left alone there’s a 95% chance HE would simply grow out of this.
***It just comes down to love. I mean, if you love your child then you should do anything in the world for your child. And its as simple and as pure as that.***
It’s just an act of love so it’s okay. Right Jeb?
This is the end result of Munchausen's by Proxy, when it's left untreated.
That poor child.
Child abuse.
Lesbian parents?
Mommy, I woke up this morning realizing that I’m really a unicorn!
That makes 2 of us at the very least.
These people should be arrested for child endangerment at the VERY LEAST.
The CHILD should be placed in protective custody.
I respectfully refuse to make any further statements to protect my SELF!
Mom, Dad, I would like to be a 1959 split bumper corvette.
Can I stay in the garage for few hours a day to become a 1959 split bumper corvette?
Sweetie, don’t be stupid, you could no more become a 1959 spilt bumper corvette by sitting in the garage for a few hours a day than if you grew your hair out and we starting calling you girl name will make you a girl.
Sorry, you were born a boy, you are boy, and you will always be a boy regardless of how ridiculous your silly little requests are — Now go play football with the other boys outside so they don’t think you are a little freak.
This would go over well in Massachusetts.
There is a reason many of us would not vote for Mitt Romneycare under any circumstances. This is the end game of his policies when he was Governor.
I know I'm not the only person who has met a child who earnestly thought they should be the other sex in childhood, and as soon as the puberty hormones hit, their sex organs popped and they magically became attracted to the opposite sex.
I've also known adults in gay or lesbian relationships who one day met someone of the opposite sex, fell in love, got married and had children and left all that other stuff behind. Ran into one of them whom I hadn't seen in a dozen years at my child's elementary school, and (he/she) took me aside and begged me not to tell anyone about the former life for the sake of (his/her) child at the school. Luckily for (him/her), I try to avoid gossip.
The parents of that poor child in the article are both crazy and evil.
Odd how the same parents who object to their children ‘artificially’ altering their mind with drugs, don’t mind ‘artificially’ altering their children’s bodies with drugs.
