Democrats in California are pushing legislation that would reportedly enable therapists to sign off on 12-year-olds' admission to state-run housing facilities without their families being notified, even if there is no threat of abuse or self-harm at home.
Assembly Bill 655, introduced by Assembly Member Wendy Carrillo in February and approved this week by Democrats on the state Senate Judiciary Committee, would also allow kids to receive counsel on gender identity from school psychologists, therapists, and uncredentialed trainees without parental consent.
Carillo's coauthor on the bill is state Sen. Scott Wiener, who previously claimed that "the word groomer is categorically an anti-LGBTQ hate word," then advanced a law that made California a sanctuary state for child sex-change mutilations.
In addition to his responsibility for a law (SB145) permitting judges to decide not to place a man on the sex offender registry if he statutorily raped a grade schooler ten years his junior between the ages of 14 and 17, orally or anally, Wiener is also cosponsor on AB957, which passed the State Assembly in May and would make any parents who do not affirm their child's gender dysphoria guilty of abuse.
