A bill in Washington state would prevent parents from intervening in their child’s decision to receive gender transition treatments.
Senate Bill 5599 would essentially allow host homes for runaway youth to house minors “without parental permission.” The host homes would also not be required to notify parents of their child’s whereabouts or tell them if they are undergoing gender transition procedures “if there is a compelling reason not to, which includes a youth seeking protected health services,” according to Fox News.
Shelters can contact the Washington Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) instead of contacting parents.
