EXCLUSIVE: 'I knew the hormones wouldn't work. Why did they play with her life?' Bereaved mom blames LA County for her teenage daughter's suicide, claiming school pushed her to transition to a male instead of properly treating her depression

A California mother says the government wrongfully took away her daughter, pushed the girl into transitioning to male and is to blame for his suicide age 19.

Andrew Martinez, born Yaeli, stepped in front of a train on September 4, 2019.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, bereaved mother Abigail Martinez accused her Los Angeles County school of encouraging Yaeli to take hormones and undergo gender reassignment surgery as a child, while failing to properly treat her severe depression.

Martinez, a mother of four, claimed school staff told Yaeli not to speak to her mother about transgender issues, but secretly had her join an LGBTQ group that persuaded the girl that the only way to be happy was to transition.

The El Salvador-born mother said an older trans student 'coached' Yaeli on what to tell social workers to put her into foster care, so that the state would pay for her gender reassignment.

And in a 2020 civil lawsuit filed against LA County and its Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS), Martinez claims the government is responsible for her child's untimely death.

Martinez said among her three daughters, Yaeli was 'the girly girl in the house', dressing as a princess and talking about the boys she liked at pre-school.

She was bullied for her looks in middle school, and by eighth grade began showing signs of depression, her mother said.

'Once she moved to high school, by the beginning of sophomore year things changed drastically,' she said.

'She talked to her sister about how she liked girls. She was questioning her sexuality. It was a shock, but she was trying to find out her identity. It's normal, what children don't go through that at that age?

'But I never imagined what the school would do.

Good place apply the death penalty to whoever did that. Make it public so it would serve as a warning.

The Left and their government-funded woke warriors are destroying America’s middle class, and especially its most vulnerable lower classes.

Its not just Jobs, wages, savings - but any and all social and cultural foundations are being dismantled too - family, religion, education, and morality - everything is being turned on its head.

America is being turned into a massive herd of lost, lobotomized sheep.

I never went through it as a child in the 50s & 60s. No one that I ever knew in school went through it. What we were interested in was playing ball and shooting marbles.

The lefties kill our kids with fentanyl, keeping the borders open.

The lefties kill our kids with social ostracization, forcing them into masks and plastic bubbles, attend class from their bed, prevent social interaction.

The lefties kill our kids with transgender indoctrination, cutting body parts off 12 year olds and filling them with opposite sex hormones.

And these kids’ parents are not only leading their own kids to slaughter, but demand my kids be taken there too. No friggen way.

My heart breaks for the kid. Mom & school officials who did this deserve a long prison sentence.

This is a terribly sad story, and I’m afraid we will see many more like it in the years to come.

Seems like a single mother, working or lower middle class. She likely couldn't afford private school. As a single mom, she didn't have the means or the time to home school. And the law requires some sort of schooling, or into public schools you go.

No mention of a father, mother of 4, in an alien culture - She’s Salvadoran. Probably very poorly educated, from her standpoint the school was full of well-meaning “experts”. She probably had no money to take her kid elsewhere even to move. Homeschooling is probably an alien concept to her.

The blame lies with California culture, the school system, and the freak who coached Yaeli. This woman is just another victim caught up in the maelstorm of California Wokeist\Leftist culture. It ground her and her child up!

None of us know the full story and we’re not likely to!

She's looking for a pay day out of the deal. Now she's playing the VICTIM. Like all good RATS.

It is easier to accept what you are than to force others to accept what you are not.

And do what with her after she was removed ?? The woman had 4 children and no mention of a father, public school may have been her only option. The idea that the mother is responsible is crazy.

I agree blaming the mother is a cop out IMO.

“Why did they play with her life?”

Why did you give her to them?

The communist/globalist playbook at work. The Bible is the book that they despise the most, because they hate the Author.
