Kidnapping to be legalized in Florida | Terms and conditions apply.

Florida courts could take 'emergency' custody of kids with trans parents or siblings — even if they live in another state.

A proposed bill making its way through the Florida State Senate would allow the state "emergency jurisdiction" over children who receive or are "at risk of" receiving gender-affirming care — or if their parent receives it themselves.

Senate Bill 254, introduced Friday by State Senator Clay Yarborough, would grant the court authority to take emergency custody of kids under the same statute that protects them from domestic violence and abuse.

The state could take temporary custody of children if "it is necessary in an emergency to protect the child because the child, or a sibling or parent of the child" is "at risk of or is being subjected to the provision of sex reassignment prescriptions or procedures," according to the proposed bill text.

The proposed bill defines sex reassignment prescriptions or procedures as hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgeries or procedures that "affirm a person's perception of his or her sex if that perception is inconsistent with the person's sex" at birth.

The court would also be granted "jurisdiction to vacate, stay, or modify a child custody determination of a court of another state to protect the child from the risk of being subjected to the provision of sex-reassignment prescriptions or procedures," according to the proposed bill text. "The court must vacate, stay, or modify the child custody determination to the extent necessary to protect the child from the provision of such prescriptions or procedures."

Last month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis requested public entities, including hospitals and universities, provide a breakdown of the medical data of patients who received gender-affirming care at their institutions. Students from public universities walked off campus in protest.

The state has seen an increase in anti-LGBT bill proposals and laws in recent years, including DeSantis' controversial "Don't Say Gay" bill, which limits how teachers may instruct about sexual orientation and gender identity.

Florida bill would allow 'emergency' custody of kids with trans parents

Senate Bill 254 would allow Florida courts to end or modify out-of-state custody agreements if a child is allowed to take hormones or puberty blockers.

Alejandra Caraballo copy pasta incoming :

Florida has introduced a bill that allows for the legal kidnapping of trans children. It grants Florida courts emergency jurisdiction over those children and would allow courts to ignore all other court orders and custody determinations.

The bill goes even further to violate interstate comity by authorizing the courts to vacate child custody determinations of other courts only if the child is trans. This is a greenlight to transphobic family members to engage in state sponsored kidnapping.

@unearth

If this bill passes (oh, who am I kidding, the fascists in my state's legislature will definitely pass it), I DARE them to try overriding an out-of-state court's decision. That's an immediate federal lawsuit.

A transphobic parent could kidnap their trans child in violation of custody agreements and abscond to Florida and be protected by Florida law under this despite likely committing felony kidnapping in their home state.

The bill goes even further to ban all public funding for gender affirming care, including for adults. This would mean state and local employees and their families would be barred from coverage for gender affirming care.

Between this and other bills introduced today, gender affirming care would be banned for all trans youth, and coverage would be eliminated for all state and local employees and their families. All public hospitals are banned from providing gender affirming care, including adults.

An additional bill requires "informed consent" forms by the state filled with pseudoscience and and bans telehealth for gender affirming care for adults. It also bans changes to gender markers on state issues birth certificates for all trans people.

This is a full on war against trans people in the state of Florida. This is a full elimination of recognition and a limitation on access to care for all trans people, including adults.

And before the trolls come in and say "but California did it!" No they didn't. SB 107 required that California be the home state. It follows widely accepted requirements under established precedent around custody laws.

When to Leave - This American Life

People staring down that hardest of questions: Is now the time? To leave?

This American Life
@unearth WTF is going on with the US.
@vitorpy @unearth Increasingly nothing good. They are using Hitler’s playbook. He came for LGBTQ first.

@vitorpy @unearth
The US is dying of an auto-immune disease. Under stress from multiple economic and social problems, in tension with untenable reluctance to treat them, its institutions are running a dangerous fever and have started attacking healthy tissue. The long term prognosis is societal organ failure and collapse.

This disease has another name beginning with F.

@vitorpy @unearth exactly. These bored, platformless religious zealots fixate on something that they know will gain them traction with uninformed, easily frightened constituents instead of actually working to help the people they are supposed to serve. I dare any of them to give me a reasonable answer to the question of what anyone in the trans community has ever done to hurt them or their precious backwards-ass way of life.
@unearth Across state lines? They are legalizing child trafficking, kidnapping and state sanctioned torture now? Where is DOJ?????
@JenX @unearth I hope you’re not seriously expecting any action from Merrick Garland - the guy who continues to rock on his nuts and not charge Trump with anything after he tried to overthrow the government. Our justice system is the greatest fraud.
@unearth This is horrifying. I had a trans kid at my elementary school several years ago. He was a great kid. I am worried for the family.
@unearth …combined with them looking at getting info from colleges, sounds like they are going to be going after parent rights all the way up to 18…
@unearth Florida has earned the title Land of the Loons. They must be so proud.

@unearth
Proyecto de ley: los jueces de Florida podrán secuestrar chicos bajo cuidado de madres trans en otros Estados si la ley pasa.

Es inconstitucional. Pero así están los nazis.

@unearth Besides the evil direct consequences, what happens with the full faith and credit clause?
@unearth That reads to me that if someone moves to a different state to get treatment, their siblings can be kidnapped. So they will not dare go for treatment even in a sane state!
@unearth the state rep that is behind this bill attends this church: https://news.yahoo.com/first-baptist-church-jacksonville-requiring-215454770.html according to his campaign website.

@unearth This is seriously terrifying.
@unearth probably would take them to a facility that basically ties them to a chair while someone just screams insults at them for hours
@unearth So, no more trips to Disney World for trans people. (And that's, like, the *least* bad outcome of this bill.)

@unearth It always fascinates me that the right-wing media has been pushing the "the left is coming to take away your kids" message for decades now, with not one single piece of legislation ever proposed by Democrats that would ever do such a thing.

Yet constantly, we have legislation proposed by the RIGHT-WING, like this one, to do exactly that. Constantly.

They talk about it because they're the only ones that think about the possibility. The left never actually thinks about such things.

@unearth The California situation strikes me as an attempt to try to reconcile matters when the two parents disagree over the direction the child wants to take.

@unearth Since it would be enough for the child to be “at risk of receiving gender affirming care” and a parent essentially being trans is considered “a risk”, this will also be used in custody disputes between cis people.

Custody disputes are often ugly and if someone thinks they will be likelier to get custody if they falsely claim their spouse is trans and has been talking about transitioning… well, that will happen before long. I wonder what level of proof the Florida courts will require 🤔

@unearth I’m really hoping that cis people in Florida would realize before it’s too late that this will cause also them a lot of problems and not just by making it more difficult to get hormones for non-transitioning medical purposes.
@unearth Sounds like I’d this passes we should also be able to pull kills from houses with guns because the child is at risk of injury from guns.
@unearth government overreach
@unearth
1. Sounds like they'll confiscate kids to traffick them like they're doing in Missouri.
2. Will they confiscate children whose parents have had plastic surgery? Parents that have modified their outward appearance to match how they feel?
@unearth it’s amazing to me that their voters can’t see the government overreach here. Where’s their limited government, their small government calls now? If as if all they truly want is the power of government for their own ends and not to have to abide by the social contract and rule of law that living in a democracy requires, eh? Hypocrisy at its most vile.

@unearth
Weren't the Fugitive Slave Acts about brutally repressive states forcing their amoral hate on the other states?

I don't seem to remember that going so well.

@unearth @mmeadway fun fact,all this is modeled on Russian laws first passed in the 2010s. This is why these people love Putin. They want todo the same Putin did to Russia, in the US.
