A Montana couple who lost custody of their 14-year-old daughter after refusing to let her transition claims the teen was taken by the state without a warrant.
Todd and Krista Kolstads filed state and federal lawsuits claiming their child, born Jennifer but currently identifying as Leo, was taken from them because they opposed their gender transition due to their religious beliefs.
In one of the suits, they claim the state's Child Protective Services lied to a court judge in order to take the 14-year-old child without a warrant, as reported by the Daily Montanan.
The teen was removed from their dad and stepmom's home last summer after their school called claiming they had tried to kill themselvesf with toilet bowl cleaner and painkillers.
The state said they were trying to find a psychiatric placement for the child, and sent her to a Wyoming facility and a Billings group home. The child is now under the custody of their biological mother in Canada.
Montana Governor Greg Gianforte has called the situation 'tragic', but Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras concluded that the Department of Health and Human Services and the court had 'followed state policy and law.'
As part of the ongoing legal challenge, the couple sent a cease and desist letter to Juras demanding she stop lying about the case and apologize to them.

North Korea doesn’t even do this stuff.
WE are the (neo) Marxists now....
When I read a report like this, I usually zone out when a reference to a “biological parent” appears. As is the case in many of these tranny-mutant stories, a dysfunctional parental situation comes into play not just in terms of the child’s psychological problems, but for parental decisions under the law.
Montana is a lot more liberal than people realize.
A life sentence as a GrandFather isn’t a very long time...
CPS act like the Constitution doesn’t apply to them. I went through hell with them in California when I was a teen and even after I turned eighteen and moved to another county those scum still came after me.
The problems only ended when we moved to Wyoming.
I’d have to assume room temperature for anyone to be able remove my child from my home.
The child is now under the custody of their biological mother in Canada.
The kid is with the mom. I thought foster care or worse.
No warrant makes it a kidnapping. To bad they didn’t kill the kidnappers.
Only certain areas. Missoula being the main Marxist outpost.
no mention if Mom is allowing the transition.
Yeah, and those certain areas are the usual spots, major cities. I know that. 🙂👍
A child (singular) is not a “they”. Pretending otherwise is an assault on the mind of the reader.
News outlets that subscribe to this preferred pronoun insanity are co-conspirators in the murder of the English language.
Will someone PLEASE explain this to me? Is this using “proper pronouns”or just plain messed up? How many people are we talking about?
“their dad and stepmom”
“their school called” - called who/whom??
“they had tried to kill themselves” - who tried?
“”The teen was removed from their dad and stepmom’s home last summer after their school called claiming they had tried to kill themselvesf with toilet bowl cleaner and painkillers.””
AMEN!! I feel like I need to go back to school after I left 70 years ago....I don’t belong to this world anymore.
Kidnapping and violent sexual assault.
Should be a capital crime.
*’Montana is a lot more liberal than people realize.”*
Red state. Blame republicans.
One of the biggest goals of the left is the destruction of the family. They are well on the way toward their goal. The government now has the power to break family ties if the parents don’t do what good little submissive wimpass sheep do: bow down and obey the All Powerful State.
Good. Maybe she’s like let the kid grow up and then decide at 18.
