The Indiana DCFS Director reports to and serves at the pleasure of the Governor. Why didn’t he step in and fire a few people?

People of faith should not put their children into the government school.

It’s NOT a “mission field”.

It is an INDOCTRINATION center!

Where in Indiana was this?

This is nowhere to be found in the local media. (Naturally)

“...nor the free exercise thereof...”

Seems pretty clear to me.

If “Catholic” papa Frank finds out about it he’ll side with Child Services against the Christian parents.

It’s not just a religious belief it’s a scientific fact.

How frightening that weak minded fools would interfere in children’s lives just because something weird has become “trendy”.

Only insane people would believe that boys now have become girls because they say so.

[[”There are two major issues in this case: One is about the fact that the child is taken away just because of the parents’ religious beliefs on human sexuality. And the other is what a parent can speak to their child about in the confines of their own home,” she continued.]]

there is a 3rd issue- the right of parents to discipline their children without the state stepping in and calling it “harrasing, and/or verbally and emotionally abusive”

To: Tell It Right
After Child Services received reports in May 2021 that A.C.’s parents were verbally and emotionally abusing the child for identifying as a member of the opposite sex, the agency subsequently filed a Child In Need of Services petition.

I imagine there is a devious, ideological, and queer teacher(s) at school who is preying upon this boy, who is confused or weak, to convince him he is "trans," and sow dissent and make a point against his "conservative" parents.

And they are doing it with all the complete protection of the state bureaucracy, teachers unions and "whistleblower" laws.

The boy was eventually removed from his parents’ care and placed in a home that affirmed his self-declared gender identity.

I'm guessing that's all we will ever find out about the person or persons getting custody. I feel sorry for the kid who already has problems, and may be facing much worse problems in the future because of this unjustified action by the state.

Who identified the child as “trans”?

No mention was made of a very important point: the age of the boy. Typically, an “unruly youth” can seek and be granted “emancipation” from their parents at age 16.

This also avoids interference from the state’s child services. And it frees the parents from legal responsibility as well as liability for actions by their child.

The boy is now 18, and it took a while to find that out.

The state can come after your kids regardless of whether they are in a public school or not. This ruling effectively gives the state authority to remove a child from a home of the parents don’t “affirm” the gender that the child desires. This where we are folks…a nation where every self-absorbed, neurotic desire (as long as it is believed strongly enough) must be foisted on society under the threat of penalties.

I can think of other instances where it seems reasonable to take up arms against the local authorities. DCFS agencies have earned a notorious rep for willfully endangering children by either returning them to dangerous homes or refusing to remove children when it’s absolutely indicated.
