Moms vs. Media
How the media spins the narrative of SB 5599 versus the truth told by moms who know.
SB 5599 rebrands parents as abusers and hides kids from parents
- KOMO News quoted Governor Inslee saying, “If a young person is totally estranged from their parents and has no meaningful relationship we need someone to care for that child and the way the legislation is set up is essentially, the Department of Children Youth and Families will step in to that position to care for that child so you have someone looking out for their benefit,” Inslee said. “In the real world we want these kids to be protected and not homeless and that’s basically the reason for this bill.” https://komonews.com/amp/news/local/senate-bill-5599-transgender-at-risk-youth-gender-affirming-reproductive-care-washington-state-shelters-dcyf-foster-kids-protests-rallies-governor-jay-inslee-olympia-state-capitol-lgbtq-children
✔️ False. Any runaway youth already has access to shelters. What the new law does is rebrand involved parents as abusers so that shelters and host homes can contact DCYF instead of the parents to notify families of their child’s whereabouts.
SB 5599 puts DCYF in charge of the custody of kids
- The AP says, “The bill does not address custody and would not result in the state taking children away from their homes and parents.”https://apnews.com/article/washington-minors-shelter-law-faa73cb08aad4b040d9c32e90ab6f8c0
✔️ False. The Bill allows host homes and shelters to contact DCYF to assist in “reunification”. If you have to get permission or approval to get your child back, your child is no longer in your custody.
Under SB 5599, Parents have no custody rights
- USA Today Fact Checkers wrote: “The bill referenced in the post does not allow the state to take a child from their parents’ custody, according to multiple legal experts and the bill’s sponsor. Rather, it allows runaway and homeless youth seeking protected health care services to stay at temporary shelters without immediately notifying their parents.”https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/26/fact-check-conservatives-misstate-washington-bill-youth-shelters-parents-gender-transition/11694658002/
✔️ Semantics. Because the law doesn’t make a direct statement on the issue of custody, supporters and ally’s take advantage and falsely claim it doesn’t exist. But the issue of whose custody the child is in can be clearly determined by who has the rights and who doesn’t. Under the law parents lose the right to be directly notified by the host home as to their child’s whereabouts and the state is involved in deciding whether or not parents can take their own child back home. Clearly, the parents have no custody rights under this new law.
