A witness at the House hearing on "Anti-LGBTQ violence" just said that parents have no right to know if their kids are going through sex changes and that the "age of consent" her non-profit @Inside_OutYS uses to transition children is 12.

These people are stacking up the powder kegs inside their own houses and lighting the fuse.

12? I'm surprised it's that high.

Same. Figures they were more of the "before 8 or it's too late" type of pedos.

Don't let the fringe dictate the rules for the bulk of the population.

If the law won't stop people from SAing your children, you have the moral obligation to.

I wonder if no one ever does anything or if the news is suppressed.

12 year olds cannot be legally left home alone in my state, since a couple years ago.

Your not even allowed to leave them for a short amount of time, like less than an hour? 12 is really old to not be able to leave the kid at home to run an errand

(Illinois) Technically, no, yet all law enforcement and child protective services have leeway through discretion. This includes leaving your child in a car to run into the store, an application of this law that I've witnessed used against a local acquaintance. They enacted as law that the age to be left unsupervised is now like 16 (maybe 15). Previously, there was no set age, and each case was left to discretion. Previously, Child Protective Services would tell you they had the general unwritten rule of 11 years old for that, but based heavily on circumstance. Yet, now it is legally codified to higher.

Damn. In Maryland it's 8. I guess maybe Illinois was just occasionally running into specific situations they didn't like, since it's at their discretion? I can't imagine a non-special needs middle schooler that wouldn't be able to handle themselves for a little while.

I find it baffling, but then I see some people's kids that are much older and incapable. There is no specific discretion in the law, the law is strait forward, but all police, prosecutors, and most of the time the caseworkers, have some levels of assumed-reasonable discretion expressly given to them for their application of all rules and law.

    It's under penalty is perjury, so there's some risk.

      It's a witness at a hearing. Testifying about the nonprofit policy.

      The state has as "property right" in every citizen.

      They can justify this through this legal deception.
