Montana parents are living through a real-life nightmare where their state has taken custody of their teenage daughter with the intent of allowing her to go through transgender treatments against their wishes.
What makes the situation worse is that the Kolstad family is facing this crisis in a Republican-led state. With all the bloviating Republicans do in front of the camera about there being only two genders, male and female, in reality, children are as much at risk of falling prey to progressive activists in a red state as they are in blue ones.

Krista (stepmom) and Todd (biological father) accuse Montana’s child protective services of “kidnapping” their 14-year-old daughter and trafficking her across state lines to a specialized residential care facility to receive treatment for her severe mental health issues. They are now threatening to send her out of the country to Canada.
It all started when their daughter’s school notified the Kolstads that she had expressed the intent to commit suicide and was later visited by Montana Child and Family Services for an unannounced inspection, according to a report in Reduxx. During the visit, their daughter told CFS that she had taken painkillers with cleaning supplies in a direct act to end her life. Despite their daughter’s history of attention-seeking behavior, they agreed to take her to the hospital to make sure she wasn’t critically injured.

During the examination, the hospital refused to call the Kolstad’s daughter by female pronouns and the name she was given at birth. Instead, they referred to her as a boy named “Leo.” It’s supposed to be illegal in Montana for children to receive “permanent, life-altering medical procedures” like hormone blockers, cross-sex hormones, or irreversible surgeries. But unlike conservatives, progressives never ask for permission when exercising their bureaucratic power.
