The other day we reported on the horrifying case of a jury ruling against James Younger trying to prevent his wife and her doctor from transition his little boy into a girl.
Well the case has gotten a lot of attention on social media and now Texas Governor Greg Abbott has responded to it:
FYI the matter of 7 year old James Younger is being looked into by the Texas Attorney General’s Office and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. #JamesYounger

That’s great news. I don’t know what they can do exactly to intervene, but I hope they can find a way to protect this kid.
Ted Cruz also responded to this case this evening:
This is horrifying & tragic. For a parent to subject such a young child to life-altering hormone blockers to medically transition their sex is nothing less than child abuse.https://t.co/sl8VcBgfTD via @nypost

A 7-year-old child doesn't have the maturity to make profound decisions like this. The state of Texas should protect this child's right to choose—as an informed, mature person—and not be used as a pawn in a left-wing political agenda. #ProtectJamesYounger

Amen Amen Amen. Cruz is exactly right. This is child abuse and should be protected by the state.
