In August 2021, by concealing a teen’s newly asserted transgender identity from her parents, Virginia’s Appomattox County High School participated in a chain of events that led to that girl falling into the hands of sexual predators not once, but twice.
When the FBI found Sage (last name of the family withheld for privacy) in Maryland, where she was victimized by a sexual predator, a judge refused to return her to her parents on the grounds they were abusing her in not affirming her as male. Housed in the boys’ quarters of a children’s home away from her parents, she told her mother, she was assaulted again. The girl soon fled, then was brutally sex-trafficked again until her rescue in Texas by law enforcement.
@HebrideanHecate Like a lamb to the slaughter. It's just terrible. The real world is a hard and unforgiving place.
@HebrideanHecate The tragedy is that the vulnerable person doesn't matter to them at all.
@sullybiker All the adults who facilitated this should be in jail.
