(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA) Speaking to the Heritage Foundation on March 7, mother Abigail Martinez said the California government and state public school system’s LGBTQ+ agenda caused her daughter to commit suicide, LifeSiteNews reported.
Martizen said her daughter was a “girly girl” who had a normal childhood. She would play “dress-up” and loved all things feminine.
After experiencing bullying in middle school, Martinez’s daughter exhibited “signs of depression” that worsened upon entering high school. Martinez asked the high school to “keep an eye” on her daughter, never suspecting that the school would use ideological perversions to prey upon the girl.
Then the high school started to manipulate the daughter without informing the mother. Martinez’s daughter started attending her school’s LGBT group, while transgender activists and teachers convinced her that she was a “transgender boy.”
Martinez said she believes that her daughter suffered from a “mental health issue,” while the school officials insisted that she was having a “gender identity crisis.”
Public school officials suggested a so-called sex transition, in which girls undergo testosterone injections and genital mutilation to destroy their female sex hormones and organs.
Then the Department of Children and Family Services started the process to remove Martinez’s daughter from her custody.
Martinez said the DCFS “incentivized” her daughter to leave her custody by offering to pay for the abusive medical interventions.
She refused to let her daughter receive any medical treatments without a comprehensive psychological evaluation. The DCFS took this hesitation as proof that Martinez’s daughter could not remain under her custody.
Martinez said DCFS let her see her daughter “once a month” and never in private. The DCFS agents refused to let the two speak candidly, explicitly directing Martinez not to reference “God” in their discussions.
Under DCFS custody, while undergoing the “transitioning” process, Martinez’s daughter ended her own life.
“I don’t have my daughter anymore … September 2019 … she decided to take her life away,” Martinez said.
