She was twice taken by sex traffickers. The second time, Baltimore bureaucrats refused her return to her home state. They had accused her adoptive parents. \u201cmisgendering\u201d According to The Daily Wire records, she was.<\/p>\n<p>After the death of her father, Sage was adopted by Michele Blair, her biological grandmother. Sage started identifying herself as a man named after her father, who was long-term troubled. \u201cDraco\u201d In late August 2021, she ran from their rural home, only to find herself on the streets of Baltimore. According to records, authorities saved her from a convicted of sex offenders. Maryland officials placed the child in an inner-city home instead of returning her to her grandmother. The reason: They thought her adoptive, blood-relative parents didn\u2019t seem to sufficiently recognize her transgender identity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not possible to return the child to that home,\u201d Judge Robert B. Kershaw was notified of his decision on Sept. 3, 2021 by Anesa Khan, Baltimore Assistant Public Defender.<\/p>\n<p>Sage was instead turned over by the Baltimore City Department of Juvenile Services. \u201cfor placement in a hardware secure therapeutic facility which makes reasonable accommodation for Respondent\u2019s expressed male gender and desire to live as a trans male.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sage ran away less than one week after being placed into a foster home. However, she returned to Texas where she was once more trafficked to pedophiles according to court records. According to an ethics case Blair filed against Khan, Lone Star officials handed Sage to her parents. Khan allegedly told the girl to lie about being abused by her parents, seemingly in order to create a legal precedent allowing states\u2014other than where a teen lives\u2014to refuse to return a runaway teen if transgender issues are in play.<\/p>\n<p>Sage was used to being the object of an interstate tug of war driven by an ideological, leftist bureaucracy. Sage&#8217;s grandmother told police how the vicious spiral started for her child, whom she still hopes to raise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went to wake up my daughter,\u201d Blair said, describing the morning of Aug. 25, 2021 in an Appomattox County Sheriff\u2019s Office report. \u201cShe was gone and the [window] screen had been cut open! I immediately looked everywhere then drove to Appomattox Sheriff to report Sage missing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sage would reveal later that she sneaked out to meet a 16-year old boy who loved skateboarding. The person she met was a sex offenders who had been grooming Sage online. They took her to Washington, and then to Baltimore.\u00a0A frantic search that included the sheriff\u2019s office, FBI, Virginia State Police, and the U.S. A week later, the Marshals were able to end their frantic search that included the FBI, Virginia State Police, and the U.S. Marshals when Sage was discovered in Baltimore with Kenneth Fisher (a 36-year-old convicted sex offenders). Sage suffered untold horror during the week that she was missing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Sage was delivered to this man, he told my daughter that she was now \u2018part of his family,\u2019\u201d Blair would write a victim impact letter later. \u201cSage replied that she was only 14-years-old and to \u2018please don\u2019t rape me.\u2019 To which Kenneth Fisher immediately took her into his bedroom and violently raped her. He enjoyed strangling her but not quite to death. This sick man trafficked her to so many men that Sage lost count.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fisher, who was previously arrested for sex crimes including rape and had been released from Eastern Correctional Institution East, is now being held. He would not be the only adult to exploit Sage.<\/p>\n<p>Blair drove all night to get Sage after she was found. However, the city of Baltimore stated that Sage was being held in jail for her running away. Khan was Khan&#8217;s court-appointed attorney, and her LinkedIn page says that \u201cDefense attorneys became the heroes of justice, as they were called to stand in the gap between the coercive power of the [State] and the relatively limited power of the indigent accused, who were and still are disproportionately [B]lack and Latin[x].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Khan persuaded Judge Kershaw to keep Sage in Virginia. Blair, a court-appointed child advocate for many years, is ironically the ideal trusted parent. Yet the Maryland juvenile court maintained that her home was abusive even after a local Virginia agency\u2019s investigation found no mistreatment. Blair believes Khan was intent on making her daughter a poster child in the fight for transgender rights above parental rights\u2014no matter the cost.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-491111\" class=\"size-full wp-image-491111\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/aneesa-khan-linkedin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/aneesa-khan-linkedin.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/aneesa-khan-linkedin-300x300-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2023\/01\/aneesa-khan-linkedin-150x150.jpg 150w\" style=\"display:none\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-491111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aneesa Khan, Baltimore Assistant Public Defender. \/ LinkedIn<\/p>\n<p>A week after ruling that Sage could not be sent back to Virginia, Kershaw received a form asserting Blair\u2019s right<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 14-year-old transgender runaway from Virginia endured a six-month nightmare that saw her twice fall into the hands of sex traffickers, the second time after Baltimore bureaucrats refused to return her to her home state because they accused her adoptive parents of \u201cmisgendering\u201d her, according to records reviewed by The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":1816340,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[15682,6202,10937,4837,3874,5007,6635,15684,4005,7937,11920,5468,6195],"class_list":["post-1816337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-misgendered","tag-daily","tag-her","tag-maryland","tag-mother","tag-parents","tag-refused","tag-runaway","tag-says","tag-sex","tag-trafficked","tag-virginia","tag-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1816337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/128"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1816337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1816337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1816340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1816337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1816337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1816337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
