In California, there's a new bill making its way through the legislature, and parent advocates are calling it a "child trafficker's and kidnapper's dream bill."
They're calling it Assembly Bill 495, which is laughably titled the "Family Preparedness Plan." These California Democrats claim it's a compassionate tool to help immigrant families facing deportation. That sounds helpful, right? But the truth is much darker.
According to the CaliforniaGlobe, this bill creates terrifying legal loopholes. It allows a parent to sign over guardianship of their child to a "nonrelative extended family member" — which could be anyone — with what critics warn is "no background check, no welfare check, no court oversight, and no verification." A stranger can walk away with your child, armed with a simple piece of paper...
And it gets worse. This isn't just about immigration. The bill's language applies to any child for any reason. This new "guardian" would have the same rights as a parent to authorize medical care. That means abortions, puberty blockers, and irreversible sex-change operations for your child, all without your knowledge or consent.
This is a direct assault on parental rights, disguised as compassion. The bill's critics say it's not about helping families; it's about replacing parents with the state and creating a legal pathway for predators to operate in plain sight, leaving children scarred and disfigured for life.
