Parents across America are outraged at the way Gavin Newsom declared laws in every other state meaningless. He signed into action a measure practically guaranteeing children will be kidnapped away from their “custodial caregivers” and transferred into California’s transgender sanctuary system. Freedom fighting activists are calling it “drastic overreach” but that’s a total understatement.
Parents have no choice
Parents everywhere are learning about a new California state law which erases laws in all the other states. The experts say it’s also nothing but a scheme to “incentivize ‘bad actors’ from around the world to skirt custodial laws by relocating to the Golden State.” According to Emilie Kao, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, they “think it’s a drastic overreach by California.”
She went on to explain, “not only does it violate parents’ fundamental rights to direct the upbringing of their children, it also violates federal law on child custody and jurisdiction because it basically supersedes the federal law that gives jurisdiction to states on child custody matters.”
SB 107 was signed into effect by Gavin Newsom recently to “block state officials from enforcing laws from other states that hinder access to transgender medical procedures and drugs.” They make it sound so innocent.

“With this law, California is basically saying it can take temporary emergency jurisdiction over any child from anywhere if there’s a disagreement between a parent and the state of California over how to treat a child’s gender distress,” Kao explains. She was helping parents fight it but they lost.
Sponsored by state Senator Scott Wiener representing San Francisco, “the bill effectively sets up California as a sanctuary for those seeking to escape those laws.” State agencies and law enforcement organizations are literally “banned from cooperating with subpoenas and other out-of-state legal actions on these matters.”
Parents have no say so. “With this law, California is basically saying it can take temporary emergency jurisdiction over any child from anywhere if there’s a disagreement between a parent and the state of California over how to treat a child’s gender distress.”
Carves a massive exemption
California whacked away at the rights of parents in every other state like an MS-13 enforcer with a machete. SB 107 “carves out a massive exemption to all existing laws on child custody and on the respect for other states’ jurisdiction.”
If the courts don’t overturn it soon it’s bound to lead to “costly, drawn-out interstate litigation that will waste California tax dollars.”
“Already, several states have taken very positive steps to protect children from the irreversible harms of not only experimental use of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones, but even life-altering surgeries like double mastectomy, even hysterectomy,” Kao points out.

CADOJ is proud to support this legislation protecting access to gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ youth.
California will not back down in the face of ongoing, nationwide attacks on the LGBTQ+ community. https://t.co/2hjfhJFauk

“These are surgeries that cannot be reversed, and that will leave children with permanent damage, including possibly sterilization.” Parents must be allowed to have a say in such crucial decisions.
The law covers confused kids and protects them from their parents “even if they were taken there or ran away there.”
That “creates very bad incentive that basically carves out an exception to normal protections of children by saying that anyone can take a child to California, and it won’t be treated in the way that taking a child from their custodial parent normally would be treated.“
