You wouldn’t think it could ever happen in America, but the very institutions created to protect children — from Child Protective Services to the foster care system — have done irreparable harm to kids and their families.
In a new docuseries available now, Separated: When The State Takes Your Kids, the Daily Caller Original Series highlights the stories of three families who paid an awful price for refusing to participate in left-wing gender madness. The first episode follows John Doe II and Jane Doe, an anonymous Christian family from Prince George’s County, Maryland, who lost custody of their son after refusing to affirm him as a transgender girl during a stay at Children’s National Hospital.
“Separated” is available exclusively for Patriots subscribers. Watch the trailer below.
In July 2021, as John was out shopping for his youngest son’s birthday, his wife called him in a panic. Local cops and a state child welfare worker had arrived at their home, attempting to take away their 16-year-old autistic son and claiming that the family’s refusal to affirm his new sexual orientation was tantamount to child abuse. The local child welfare department had adopted a radical transgender affirmation program that punished Christian parents who did not allow their children to transition or identify as transgender.
Less than six months after the shocking visit, John and Jane would lose custody of their son.
John and Jane are African-American and devout Christians, yet their life was ruined by state officials and a legal system seemingly hell-bent on punishing people like them. Decent people who wouldn’t cave to a radical ideology that flew in the face of their own religious and parental rights. It didn’t just happen to them, either. Countless families across the country have suffered at the hands of an unjust system that seeks to treat normalcy as abusive.
For more horrifying details about John and Jane’s tragic story, and the system that is tearing families apart in service of an obscene ideology, watch the full docuseries here.
