A California Democrat mother is sounding the alarm over a bill that would allow mental health professionals to take children as young as 12 years old away from their families so they can seek care without parental consent.

Parental rights advocate Erin Friday joined "Fox & Friends First" to discuss her concerns surrounding the "terrifying" legislation that she fears could be followed by other states.

"This is an abrogation of parental rights once again, and here in California, it's almost as if we get to parent our kids until they're age 12, and then the state gets to take them," Friday said Wednesday. "So I call this bill the state-sanctioned kidnapping bill, because there doesn't need to be any allegation of abuse against a parent or a serious threat of suicide of the child before a school counselor can unilaterally decide to take that child and place them in a residential facility."
"In the world of transgenderism," she continued, "that means that a child who goes to a school counselor and says that they are transgender and that their parent won't support them, that child can be whisked off to a LGBTQ community facility and not come home from school that day. This bill is terrifying, and it should terrify every parent in the country, because what we do here in California gets passed along in other states."

Current state law permits minors of at least 12 years of age "to consent to mental health treatment or counseling on an outpatient basis, or to residential shelter services, if the minor is mature enough to participate intelligently in the outpatient services or residential shelter services, as specified, and either the minor would present a danger of serious physical or mental harm to themselves or to others or if the minor is the alleged victim of incest or child abuse."

Democrat-sponsored Assembly Bill 665, which was introduced in February, would remove the requirement that children must be a danger to themselves or others, or be alleged incest or abuse victims, before seeking care without their parents' consent.
