Crazy adoptive and foster parents could have their own thread on here. Lot of bad behavior. You hear about the trailer trash getting kids for the benefits, but the middle class saviors are worse in a different way.
@Unpaid Emotional Labourer, any source on foster parents transing kids? Not that I don't believe you but I'd like to know more.
Just catching up with this thread... got way behind.
Anyway, there is a particularly evil and disgusting psychologist in British Columbia. Dr. Wallace Wong brags that he has 500 pediatric clients from the "The Ministry," which means the BC Ministry for Children (govt. foster care organization). He loves these kids for patients because for one thing he gets them in his office without their actual parents there to protect them, and also I'm assuming the government pays for all their medical bills as they are in the foster system, meaning it is an easier sell to their foster parents because they are thinking "what the hell, why not? It is free! Plus this isn't my bio kid, so not really my problem, Plus he is a doctor so he must know what he is talking about." Like others have already pointed out, lots of these foster kids have probably been sexually abused and might also have identity issues from being shuffled around from house to house, not really feeling like they fit in or belong with any of the families they have been staying with.
So cow crossover to Morgane Oger and Jonathan Jessica Yaniv. The crazy hyper-religious lady that they have accused in various Human Rights Tribunal cases of stalking and harassing them, Kari Simpson, who runs the organization Culture Guard that Oger and Yaniv also clash with, went to an "informational seminar" (really a sales press by Wong for more kiddie clients) and she audio-recorded everything Wong said. It is fairly long and extremely creepy but at one point he says that if medical procedures or medications are not being approved, just tell your kid to threaten suicide and they will quickly get approved for whatever they want.
Culture Guard made a transcript of the audio recording and put it to video so you can read along as Wong gives his sales spiel to a room of prospective customers at the Vancouver Library. It is long, about an hour and a half. At about 1:01 (the bottom of page 50 on the transcript) Wong mentions The Ministry, that he has been getting Ministry foster kids in his practice since 2011 and has more than 500 of them as patients for his transitioning program.
At about 1:23 (page 70) Wong advises parents to "Pull a stunt. Suicide every time. They will give you what you need. They [meaning kids] learn that. They learn it very fast, right? If I want and need this, I just need to... Hey, Mom, right?" He calls this "preventative care" meaning parents must act to prevent their kid from committing suicide by lying about their kid being suicidal or instructing their kid to lie about being suicidal, which will get their kid approved to climb aboard Dr. Wong's transkid conveyor belt.
Ok but it gets worse. Dr. Wong testified in court as an expert witness in a case where the father of a teenage girl didn't want her to take testosterone. And the father lost. The court sided with the sadistic liar Dr. Wong over the father, who was accused of "family violence" and threated with arrest for referring to his daughter as a girl and she.
So here is a video of the father telling his horrifying story. This is what unsuspecting parents are dealing with. They try to get their kids help and assume help means people will work with their kids to come to their senses and treat transition like a last resort, but at every turn the people this father thought would help his daughter just affirmed her as trans. He is divorced from what I can tell, and it appears the girl lives with her mom, so that was working against him, too. But everyone he expected to help just pushed the girl to testosterone and a male identity: the girl's mom, the school, therapists, doctors, and now the courts. He was the ONLY adult in her life against it.
A couple of media accounts of the court case:
Last Friday, the BC Court of Appeal ruled a father couldn't stop doctors from giving his 15-year-old daughter testosterone to 'affirm' her trans identity.
