Autism, Parental Rights Clash in Maryland Military Family’s Medical Dilemma

Autism, Parental Rights Clash in Maryland Military Family's Medical Dilemma

In a case that’s sure to make your blood boil, fellow patriots, we’ve got a doozy of a story that’ll have you questioning just how far the so-called “experts” will go to push their agenda. Buckle up, because this tale of a Maryland military family’s fight against medical tyranny is one you won’t want to miss. It’s a stark reminder of why we must remain vigilant in protecting our families and values from those who think they know better than parents.

The Heart-Wrenching Ordeal

In 2021, a 16-year-old autistic boy from a Maryland military family was hospitalized for self-harm following a breakup. What should have been a time of healing and family support quickly turned into a nightmare. Staff at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., claimed the boy wanted to be female and should be referred to using she/her pronouns. The parents, understandably concerned about their son’s vulnerability due to his autism, rejected this suggestion.

What happened next is nothing short of shocking. The hospital allegedly undertook a campaign to transition the boy, going so far as to force him to disavow his male identity. When the parents stood their ground, the hospital reportedly used emergency policies to retain the boy and reported the parents to child protective services.

A Family Torn Apart

The consequences of this medical overreach have been devastating for the family. The boy was moved into foster care and has not returned home, leading to a protracted legal battle. The parents, in their determination to fight for their son, have been forced to sell their business and home to cover legal expenses.

“This has been devastating. It drained so much money, there is no money left. It changed our entire way of life, with the loss of a child and then with the loss of our income.” said the boy’s father.

Adding insult to injury, the child is currently living with the hospital’s ‘non-gendered’ chaplain, Lavender Kelley. Reports suggest that since being removed from his parents’ care, the boy has appeared in provocative poses on social media, raising further concerns about his well-being.

The Legal Battle

The family is not taking this lying down. They’re seeking up to $100 million in damages and coverage of legal costs. Their lawsuit involves multiple counts against the hospital, including negligence and emotional distress.

“Rather than treating [us] as patrons with legal and dignitary rights, the defendant… treated the parents as though they had harmed their son, even though the parents had never endangered their child and had home-schooled him to college entry at fourteen years old,” per a statement found in the parents’ lawsuit.

The case has caught the attention of legal experts, with attorney Amos Jones stating, “This is the craziest case I’ve ever had. I don’t know why there are people who think this makes sense. But I guess lots of people agree with this in Washington, DC, now.”

The Broader Implications

This case is not just about one family’s struggle; it’s a wake-up call for all parents, especially those with children on the autism spectrum. As Karl von Batten, another concerned parent, puts it:

“To me, this is personal. My son is autistic, and if you tell him you are a penguin, he will tell me he is a penguin. I am very upset by what they have done in this case, there seems to be no safeguarding. I don’t want this to happen to my boy or any other child with autism.”

The battle for parental rights in the face of medical and institutional overreach is far from over. As patriots and concerned citizens, we must remain vigilant and support families like this one who are fighting not just for their children, but for the rights of all parents to make crucial decisions about their children’s care and well-being.
