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.

“She was bullied for her looks in middle school, and by eighth grade began showing signs of depression”

Schools do nothing about bullying, their policies are absurd and used against the victim more often than the actual bullies. The the school victimized her again with their brainwashing.

So sad.

**“Why did they play with her life?”**

Because they are snakes, lying low, working evil without being seen, until it’s too late.

When a school official does not contact a parent about serious matters concerning the child, that is at the least, sloppy, careless job performance.

Teachers/school administrator unions: destroying America one child at a time...... as fast as they can.

The school counselors and doctors that did this need to be executed.

It is as simple as that.

That sentence alone can give you a headache. I think the only thing the presstitutes are learning these days is to make sure the pronouns line up.

[CodeToad]

“Trans” anything is just homosexual child abuse.

[Mouton]

A July 2013 settlement between the Department of Justice and the district obligated schools to ‘promptly inform’ any gender-transitioning student of ‘their right to request a support team of appropriate individuals to ensure that the student has equal access to and equal opportunity to participate in the District’s programs and activities.’

Both the DOJ and DOE need be vaporized over this.

When does the shooting start?

[caww]

Mother was encouraging it as well

"Martinez said 'she agreed' to her daughter’s request to be called ‘Jay’ and tried to help her change her appearance, buying her masculine clothes to go with a short haircut."

Her daughter had already tried to overdose on pills in eighth grade in 2014, and tried to jump off a bridge near the freeway in her hometown in her freshman year, shortly after she cut her hair short

El -Salvador mother of four Martinez - who works as a Nanny - claims the government is responsible for her child’s untimely death. (From a country who's citizens believe the government should provide)

[caww]

I wouldn’t call a mother who buys male clothing for her daughter “to help her’” guiltless in this entire episode.

[wintertime]

Is this the wonderful “socialization” that homeschoolers are missing? ( Just wondering.)

[caww]

Yes payday coming - further she encouraged her daughter by purchasing male clothing “to help” - Mother works as a Nanny and is from Salvador. I suspect we foot the bill for her family of four as a single mother.

[Reily]

She was likely conforming to the “Diktats” of the California educrats. Someone coming from Spanish “El Caudillo” cutlure is much more differential to authority then perhaps you or I.

[wintertime]

Yes, removing her probably would have saved her life.

Illiteracy and innumeracy can be fixed. Adults do it all the time. Dead can’t be fixed.

[Ban Draoi Marbh Draoi]

If I remember correctly, the “campaign” against bullying was used by homosexuals to infiltrate the schools.

Notice how actual victims of bullying are ignored or blamed for whatever happens.

[I want the USA back]

The school system is guilty of child abuse and murder.

[liberalh8ter]

All we know about the Mother is that she is “Salvadoran born”. I'm guessing she is a passenger on the Democrat gravy train whose life is exponentially better here than in El Salvador and as a result, put her trust in the evil doers that got her here. It came back and bit her in the arse. Given the circumstances, I don't blame her for what happened. I blame the Democrat system.

[EastTexasTraveler]

They should all be tried for murder. Of course, it will never happen.

[Valpal1]

You are exactly correct. Anti bullying is also used to support the CRT nonsense.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It happens way more than the woke media reports.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Why do we do all this? Why do we cater to all this LGBT etc stuff?

And particularly, with underage children? How is this even legal, to administer hormone treatments and the like?

If someone feels like a man in a woman’s body and all that, it’s one thing if someone is an adult, and questions their gender identity and all that. But it’s very different, for a developing child or adolescent, to be given these life changing treatments before they are a mature adult, capable of making such decisions.

I know it’s a cliche, but bears repeating, that this sort of thing wouldn’t have happened years ago. It wouldn’t even be considered a legitimate treatment for people feeling gender dysphoria
