After the 14-year-old was found being sexually assaulted in another state, a judge kept her from loving parents because they questioned her transgender identity. Then she was trafficked again.
In August 2021, by concealing a teen’s newly asserted transgender identity from her parents, Virginia’s Appomattox County High School participated in a chain of events that led to that girl falling into the hands of sexual predators not once, but twice.
When the FBI found Sage (last name of the family withheld for privacy) in Maryland, where she was victimized by a sexual predator, a judge refused to return her to her parents on the grounds they were abusing her in not affirming her as male. Housed in the boys’ quarters of a children’s home away from her parents, she told her mother, she was assaulted again. The girl soon fled, then was brutally sex-trafficked again until her rescue in Texas by law enforcement.
Sage’s Law, or the Child Protection Act, is being introduced this week in the Virginia House of Delegates by Delegate Dave LaRock in honor of this young teen from Appomattox County, Virginia. Sage hopes sharing her story will help protect others from the abuse she suffered at the hands of predators, precipitated in part by the very institutions that should have protected her.
School policies and state laws that encourage concealing information from parents purport to protect vulnerable minors. In practice, as tragically demonstrated by Sage’s case, such policies open the door to predators by removing children’s greatest protection from their lives.
Sage’s Law aims to shut that door in three ways. It would require schools to notify parents if their child asserts a gender different from his or her sex; it prevents school counselors from withholding or encouraging minors to withhold information about a child’s gender identity; and it clarifies that raising a child according to his or her biological sex, including decisions about a child’s mental and physical health, may not be construed as abuse.
Sage’s story, compiled from months of interviews, reports, and records, has been lived by countless...

As a Virginian I am disgusted by this latest utter failure of institutions to protect children in my state. The insane and the corrupt have become infested in the judiciary, the child welfare system, the schools and on and on it goes. This is the case throughout the nation. How far must we let this crap go on before we rise up and put a stop to the preying upon our kids?
It is absolutely nuts and CRIMINAL what happened to this child at the hands of the court.
A country and state that fails to protect its children from sexual exploitation under color of law is doomed. That public offender(lawyer) assigned to defend and protect this child should be disbarred and never be allowed to practice law again anywhere in this country.

Public School TM, doing what it now does best-destroying human lives.
It is not the institution which is at fault. It is certain persons within the institution which are at fault.
Some do the actual deed, others only facilitate, still others seek to conceal. All are guilty. All also have names.
Pursuing the institution usually results in the truly guilty parties escaping prosecution. Actually, the citizens are they who foot the bill since you can only take administrative action against an institution. The only proper remedy has been to criminally prosecute the individuals at fault
Disbarment is an ancillary penalty when one has taken two behind the ear. The latter guarantees the former.
A "thing" has been going on for a very long time that of government or authority telling parents "we make your child's decisions not you" and this happened to me back in early 70's. State of Ohio came one whisker from having me committed to an adult psychiatric ward for who knows how long but my mother decided to snatch me away and keep me home and very likely saved my life.
Why this has not made National news or blasted across the MSM is a sure sign this behaviour is not limited to those in this Judiciary.
Soon, there will be an absolute breaking point, and the MSM will also be in the crosshairs if they don't start doing what they claim to be responsible for - NEWS, not propaganda.
I can't help but to wonder if " ..failure of institutions to protect children in my state" is better described by " .failure of institutions to protect children FROM my state".
