Child is 11 years old and tells his parents that he feels like he's really a girl. He wants to begin gender reassignment. Parents are very concerned and think he's way too young to make a decision like that. They do not start the process of gender reassignment. Should this child be taken away from his parents?
A child at that age is not mentally developed enough to make a decision like that. The parents are correct in putting the brakes on. There is no hurry to rush into it. Chances are within a few days he will change his mind. I knew a kid about that age who wanted to be a monkey.
What state treats a 11 year old as an adult in a crime situation? State name please!A child at that age can be prosecuted as an adult if the crime is deemed heinous enough. Their mental development is the same.
So, you think someone who murders is mentally developed?A child at that age can be prosecuted as an adult if the crime is deemed heinous enough. Their mental development is the same.
Um...are you sure you want to equate this with criminal activities?A child at that age can be prosecuted as an adult if the crime is deemed heinous enough. Their mental development is the same.

Hell no, why? Since when do minors get to make those kinds of decisions and the parents get no say? Discuss it, call in some professionals and then once again say no. We love you honey and when you turn eighteen you can do as you wish, until then it's a no.Situation --- typical American household -- two parents, one child, no history of endangerment, neglect or abuse noted.

I'm saying that the child's mental development is the same in both situations, yet treated differently.Um...are you sure you want to equate this with criminal activities?

No! An eleven year old can't make such a decision. The parents need to get the child some good counseling before anything is done.Situation --- typical American household -- two parents, one child, no history of endangerment, neglect or abuse noted.

No. A minor should not even be allowed, by law, to have permanent life-changing surgery. It's gross that people think this is even a viable option.Situation --- typical American household -- two parents, one child, no history of endangerment, neglect or abuse noted.

Only "taken away" in a coroner's wagon or a hearse if the child resorts to suicide as remaining perceived recourse.Situation --- typical American household -- two parents, one child, no history of endangerment, neglect or abuse noted.

That's what the OP is asking! The kid expressed a preference and the parents ignored their request. At that point the parents need to be removed from the equation and professionals need to be brought in to properly assess the situation and make the best decisions for all involved. The kid is too young to make a decision and the parents may well be making the wrong decision or making a decision based on ignorance, intolerance or, worst of all, some ****ed up form of religious commitment. The state is the one with the power to engage the best and brightest experts on these matters and, after substantial polling to validate the messaging, the state is the one, based on PROPER science (not fake science), make the proper decision for the kid...who may well have changed their mind and now identifies as Iron Man.Where are health care and mental health care professionals in this story?
There is a big difference in knowing right from wrong and determining your sex in opposition to biology. I believe 14 is the youngest child covnvicted of murder without parole.A child at that age can be prosecuted as an adult if the crime is deemed heinous enough. Their mental development is the same.
