Virginia mom sues school district claiming staff kept daughter Sage Blair's transition to male a secret before runaway teen was kidnapped, raped and trafficked across state lines
Virginia mom sues school over daughter Sage Blair's secret transition
The parents of a Virginia teenager who was socially transitioned from a girl to a boy in high school without the school informing the parents are suing the school board.
Michelle Blair, the mother of Sage Blair, filed a lawsuit against the Appomattox County School Board and district staff, in addition to a Baltimore public defender for actions that she allege deprived her of properly parenting her child.
Blair now claims that her daughter was severely bullied in high school, which she was aware of - but alleges that the school district withheld information about why the bullying was happening. Sage had begun identifying as a boy at school.
...
'She runs into the arms of a waiting pedophile, who encounters her, rapes her, traffics her with two other men, and takes her across state lines into Washington, D.C., and then ultimately into Maryland.'
In Maryland, Sage was eventually tracked down and rescued by FBI agents, which is where her nightmare journey should have ended.
However, the Baltimore juvenile court system assumed custody of the adolescent at the instruction of Aneesa Khan, an area public defender.
Khan had made the call that Sage's parents were not 'sufficiently affirming' of her new identity and, according to the suit, fabricated a 'story of abuse and neglect by the parents' that convinced a judge to keep her in custody.
