Teen commits suicide after state of California pushes her into transgenderism
Daughter taken from mom, who was banned from talking about God
By Greg Burt
An immigrant mother living in Los Angeles has revealed publicly that her 16-year-old daughter killed herself after public school employees, doctors and the courts fed the troubled teen lies about her identity.
This progressive ideology promoted by legislative leaders, that one’s gender is separate from biological sex, is driving some mentally struggling teens to despair and leading many others to destroy their reproductive systems with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
California teachers, gender counselors and judges tell parents that affirming their child’s self-perception without question is the only way to truly help their gender dysphoric child. The price for doubting a child’s self-diagnosis is steep.
El Salvador immigrant Abigail Martinez found that out the hard way. She told her heartbreaking story last week of losing custody of her transitioning daughter at a Heritage Foundation event in Washington D.C. (video).
In anguish, she revealed through tears for the first time publicly how the state paid for her teen’s transitioning drugs, but instead of helping her, it only increased her daughter’s mental distress.
Abigail’s daughter began showing signs of depression in middle school and then attended meetings and “support” groups for gender-confused children in high school. Not long after attending these groups, she told her mother that she felt like she was a boy.
A psychologist and LGBT group began working with Abigail’s daughter and told Child Family Services (CFS) that she would be better off out of the house. They incentivized her to leave home by telling her that the state would pay for her gender “transition” if she did.
CFS took her from Abigail at just 16-years-old. When they appeared in court, Abigail was told she could visit her daughter one hour a week as long as she didn’t talk to her daughter about God or encourage her to come home.
The LGBT group urged Abigail’s daughter to undergo a medical gender “transition,” and despite Abigail’s objections, doctors began administering hormone therapy. Abigail begged doctors to instead conduct a psychological evaluation and treat her daughter’s mental problems.
“This is not going to make my daughter better,” she told them. “If you want to help my daughter, help her with her mental health. Help her from the inside out.” The doctors refused her request.
Tragically, Abigail’s daughter ended up taking her own life by kneeling in front of a train with her hands raised in the air.
“No mother should ever have to go through the indescribable pain that Abigail did. She was completely denied her parental rights and could have prevented her daughter’s death had doctors and the state only listened to her,” the California Family Council said in a statement.
“Abigail’s story demonstrates the direction that California is headed. There are numerous mothers and fathers dealing with similar situations who are afraid to speak about it publicly. The state is prioritizing dangerous gender ideology over parental rights and the health and well-being of children.”

You would think California social workers could find children in real danger and use their time and resources on removing those children from life threatening danger. Any sane social worker would refer this case to family/adolescent counseling. Paying for transitioning drugs? What a waste of limited time & resources … ugh.
I believe her daughter is in a better place. Her life sounded tormented.
This poor mother. I am just speechless of the evil that the government perpetrated on their family. If anyone has dealt with “the system”, they would know once you are in their target sights, they hold onto you like a pitbull and you don’t know which way to turn and you have zero power. I have been in her shoes on another issue with both cps and court as well as psychologists dealing with even the psychologist trying to sneak a phone to the child when I took it away after catching her sexting. It was hell on earth and… Read more »
God bless this immigrant from El Salvador. Perhaps she’s rethinking her decision to oome to America
Abigail should never have lost custody of her daughter to the evil CFS which has blood on its hands. God bless Abigail. May she find a good attorney who will extract huge amounts of money.
don’t let a gubmint-fggt within 500′ of your child
These people need to be destroyed, they are evil personified. If it was my child I would be going to prison for a few days for murder, Its cali so you can kill and be out in weeks.
go to the next school board meeting
b… it down
they wont do this again
Time to remove the social engineering in all public school. This type of programming should be a parental choice via a school voucher program
I believe something wacky is going on with human genes to make people act this crazy way. I mean the people forcing the tranny issue and the people who are born as men and crave to be women. True, it may have existed for thousands of years, but it will soon be commonplace. Truly scary to imagine what the future brings. I am so glad I have a foot in the grave.
My question to any biological female who claims, “I feel like a boy,” would be “how do you know what a boy feels like?” How does anyone know what it “feels like” to be any gender, male or female, if that’s not your biological gender to start with? The fact is, we all feel like ourselves. If you don’t like the way you feel as a biological female, you’re not going to like the way you feel as a gender reassigned person any better.
You posted a very great insight! Yes, if you are born female, then how does one know what it is to feel male and vice versa? “We feel like ourselves.” True, for better or worse! From now on if the subject ever comes up I will use your insight to question the people involved. Thank you.
These thugs who are confusing our children should be tied to train tracks, their hands held in front of them, and then the 5:18 Express should run them over. Hopefully a red tide in November will put an end to some of this insanity infecting our nation.
Horrid that you are so caring as to ignore the plight of railroad engineers who’s lives selfish people add their trauma. NEVER go “out” on RR tracks. You create more misery than you can ever know.
Very true! I know for a fact it eats the engineers up inside. My grandfather was a train engineer and yes his train killed a person. He kept the article for decades. Never talked about it but we all knew it ate him up.
Everyone, every single person who had a finger in this should be in jail. At the very, very least it is involuntary manslaughter.
This is exactly what can happen when liberals take over the country.
There is a special place in hell for these people.
Names please. And addresses if you have them.
..in-fncking-credible. makes me glad i’m NOT a parent..
” . . . a psychologist and LGBT group began working with Abigail’s daughter and told Child Family Services (CFS) that she would be better off out of the house. They incentivized her to leave home . . .”
NAME the psychologist AND the lgbt group . . . these those them killed a 16 year old girl . . . they them those are MURDERS . . .
Recently a teenage girl was charged and convicted of second degree murder for telling a boy who had threaten suicide to go ahead and do it. These people are no better.
The parents are to blame also. This is nothing less than child abuse / child endangerment with government blessings.
How in the world can you blame the parents in this situation?? Do you know them? Can you tell us what the parents did wrong to have their daughter jerked from her home and had poison injected into her? That is a terrible thing to say to parents who have had their daughter commit suicide.
Forwarded Message : Dear DefendingEd Officers and Staff,Re: What you folks don’t know—because you are too young :Regarding the false/phony/fibbing advocates of “Gender Dysphoria,” this is what was acceptedin the 1950s—when I was being educated ( btw, the Sixties began the dumbing down from SCHOLARSHIP to this ever-trending : MAKE ALL RACES APPEAR EQUALLY TALENTED; that is, dumb-down curricula to accommodate the lowest common denominator in the classroom, To Be Fair!—and the more talented students suffer for the lack of academic challenges to meet their true potential ) :Imprinting / Modeling :Raising a boy or girl within the biological,heterosexual family is CONVERSION Therapy!,as every child transitions through a period ofconfusion, re sexual attraction ( between 8 and13 years of age, or so )—and, generally, develop non-homosexual sex attraction because of male/female parent-identification within… Read more »
Exactly the kids with intellect are being suppressed to the level of the kids without intelligence. This is why America spends the most per a student and are ranked like 22 . Schools should segregated not by race but by ability.
A very sad lesson that may or may not be learned by others:
Do you value warm weather and palm trees more than your family?
Do you value your leased BMW and daycare over a 10-year-old Explorer and staying home with your kids?
Does proximity to movie stars and wealth mean more than raising your kids surrounded by simple, middle-class conservatives?
I feel sorry for this woman. She should have moved to Texas or Kentucky or Idaho. How many others value lifestyle over actual life?
This is, sadly, going to be a rather common occurrence going forward. These kids are not happy, either before or after a gender change. It ain’t the gender that makes them sad. But the more this happens, the more money and social pressure we will continue to throw at it to keep “making it better”. And it will just keep getting worse.
Avoid putting children in public schools. You have choices: parochial, private, possibly charter, technical and home school.
I understand the concept of evil.But does evil have to be so banal and stupid???
Do parents ever take responsibility for the damage ‘they’ do by allowing it in their schools? As of now the ‘state’ doesn’t force children to attend those indoctrination institutions. If you don’t like the food served why go back for seconds?
Do you read the news? The parents who complain about things like this are put in jail where they can’t help anyone even themselves. When you have 90% of the politicians against you (California) you don’t have a chance in hell of doing anything good especially if you are from another country and don’t know the laws.
The “state” didn’t do this. It enabled it. People did it. Who are those involved, by name, who made these decisions and forced this young child to go through this. They need to be brought to justice.
who do you think the “state” is.
KKKalifornia needs to be crushed. The government removed and all liberal progressive neofascist nazis deported to china or somewhere worse. Gavin Spewsome needs the death penalty for his treasonous genocidal actions.
NOW.
Blood is on the hands of all the schools, teachers, government officials, parents who push this demonic lifestyle of kids. They mutilate innocent kids via surgery or drugs and ruin their lives forever. An abnormal mental illness is now treated as a healthy lifestyle. They are devils.
…it’s the price they’re willing to pay to be ‘woke’ .
democrats and their sicko policies.
Chronic depression involves a distancing of one’s self and difficulty making decisions. Negativity invades all parts of one’s life. That is why its important to treat severe depression first -not coach someone who has depression induced gender dysphoria that they need to radically change their gender. Giving androgens to a severely depressed female teen can exacerbate depression to suicidal pyschosis. Those involved should be charged with manslaughter
And these folks act as if their way is the RIGHT WAY according to their demonic agenda. And we have folks CLEAR ACROSS the nation in FLORIDA crying FOUL regarding Gov. DeSantis bill, THIS NEEDS TO STOP…THERE are ONLY 2 GENDERS….DNA DOES NOT LIE and CAN NEVER BE ChANGED….ONE day they WILL BE held accountable to ALMIGHTY GOD.
But all they are doing is crying. How many of the so called “outraged” have closed their Facebook accounts in protest. You know, Facebook, the biggest perpetrator of propaganda and misinformation ever seen on the planet. The propaganda and misinformation that led to this being ok.
Start s…..ng all these authorities involved and this crap will stop.
Liberal women are POS, ………..
Women*
Democrat Californian’s are a SICK, SICK subhuman race of people who push this raw sewage on everybody they can….
It’s not just the democrats. I am m a nurse and observed some egregious negligence in a hospital. The department of health moved to cover it up to protect the reputation of the hospital and I was pushed out of my job. They eventually were forced to do a proper investigation after I got a few newspapers involved.
Devin Nunes and Kevin McCarthy as well as every other politician in the repugnant party ignored my requests for help to protect patients. They are all corrupt. Both sides of the aisle.
Take child from his or her home, chemically, and medically torture them and then when they can’t stand it anymore, they off themselves. And the leftist liberals? Well, that experiment failed miserably. Let’s go find another guinea pig to test.
The end result of a Godless culture. These people will pay for their empty souls, and rightly so.
Maybe it’s like ‘rocket science’… too complex for the average American to figure out… We desire what we tolerate.
Teens get depressed all the time. It doesn’t mean that they are gender confused even if they say they feel like something else. How does someone come to know that they feel like the opposite sex? No one knows truly what it is like to be something they have never experienced. What is this, past life intruding on the present? That’s pretty sketchy and reeks of a cult. But the lgbt groups must increase their membership any way they can to be an aggrieved minority. These people are all ill.
Justice would say you are right BG, however there will be none after they pass, just empty
nothing…..No reward, no usefulness, just NOTHING……
We must obey God. God created male and female. Deuteronomy 22:5. If you love God, join USA .Life social network to bring nationwide revival.
Lawsuit! PLEASE put me on THAT jury.
Unfortunately…..they’d scrub you (and me) during Jury selection.
Unless you are sporting a rainbow flag tattoo or have horns sprouting from your skull you will never sit on a jury in California (a.k.a. Satan’s Playground).
And the dems just climaxed at the news.
I just saw this Drs post on GETTR
@jonkuhlerLPC and survivor support.us
Vengeance is mine saith the Lord
cgdae, if that is true, that means we, you and I, cannot stop that Evil as it would
take Force to isolate those Sick Minds…..
DemoK. KKrats are baby kiIIing filth; the lowest s(um ever!
Did you see the latest proposed law in Massachusetts?
A liberal just proposed a law that would allow abortion up to 28 days AFTER birth.
DemoKKKrats are baby kiIIing filth; the lowest scum ever!
the KKK never allowed gender whatever …u have them confused with communists
Fun Fact: These perverse sexual ideas were first promulgated in Europe in 1919, at the Institute of Sex Research in Berlin, Germany, by Arthur Kronfeld and Magnus Hirschfeld. In 1933, it was burned to the ground by the Hitler Youth.
Yeah and that famous photo of “the nazis burning the books” was actually German students who were fed up with the perversion. Look up the world league for sexual reform. All 10 points of that plan are codified into law in all western nations.
even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
There are many felonies involved here that the mother should seek against every single person individually and collectively for their sexual exploitation of a minor. Radical leftists have dozens of billionaire donors who fund this Evil yet we rarely hear about those on the Right (side) funding opposition.
Betcha Ed Buck is on that list. I think that’s his first name.
These people are truly wicked.
The government cannot tell you not to speak about God – that is a violation of this mother’s first amendment right. Heads are going to have to roll for this!
The only way to describe the mindset is “EVIL”.
You, Democrats, are f”ing ghouls. You are pure evil!
It’s incomprehensible how Democrats are destroying our children!!
Not just children ,everything they touch!
It’s what child molesters are all about. You surely didn’t think that Democrats want anything healthy for children, did you?
What’s It’s incomprehensible is that we are allowing them to destroy our children
