Michele Blair, the mother of Sage, has filed a lawsuit against\u2064 the Appomattox County\u2063 School Board and district staff, as well as public defender Aneesa \u2063Khan, who \u200cis alleged to have played a role in affirming Sage&#8217;s male identity.<\/p>\n<h3>A Parent&#8217;s Right to Protect<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;They stole my right \u200dto protect my daughter,&#8221; Blair passionately expressed to the Washington Examiner. &#8220;As a parent, I am the \u2063expert on my child. No\u200d one in the school or court system knows my daughter better\u200c than I do. They will never understand her like I do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blair revealed that her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mother-of-trafficked-virginia-girl-sues-school-district-over-secret-gender-transition\/\" title=\"Mother sues school district over undisclosed gender transition of trafficked Virginia girl.\">daughter faced severe bullying<\/a> at school, but the\u200c school district failed to disclose the underlying reason: Sage&#8217;s identification as a boy. &#8220;She endured verbal, physical, and sexual harassment, with constant threats of rape from male classmates,&#8221; Blair shared about \u200cSage&#8217;s freshman year at Appomattox \u2064County High School in\u2063 2021. &#8220;Despite this, the school encouraged her to use the boys&#8217;\u200b bathroom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A Secret Transition<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit filed by\u2062 the Child &#038; Parent Rights Campaign alleges that\u2064 the school pursued a social transition for\u2064 Sage without her parents&#8217; knowledge, despite being aware of her history of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/9-year-old-girl-pepper-sprayed-during-interaction-with-rochester-police\/\" title=\"9-Year-Old Girl Pepper Sprayed During Interaction With Rochester Police\">mental health issues<\/a>.\u2063 Blair had informed the school about Sage&#8217;s\u2063 struggles \u2063with depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and hallucinations. By \u2063withholding information about Sage&#8217;s gender identity, the school deprived Blair of\u2062 her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wisconsin-case-illustrates-public-schools-disdain-for-parental-rights\/\" title=\"Wisconsin Case Illustrates Public Schools\u2019 Disdain For Parental Rights\">fundamental parental rights<\/a> to\u200d make educational\u200b and mental\u200c health decisions\u2063 for her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>A Tragic Outcome<\/p>\n<p>Vernadette Broyles, Blair&#8217;s attorney from the CPRC, \u2062revealed that Sage ran away from home due to the relentless bullying \u2062and \u2063harassment she faced at school. &#8220;The \u200bschool officials were encouraging her to use the boys&#8217;\u2063 bathroom, \u2064even though they knew she was being threatened with sexual assault. She felt unsafe and ran away from home,&#8221; Broyles explained. Tragically, Sage fell into the hands of a waiting pedophile who kidnapped, raped, and trafficked her across state lines.<\/p>\n<p>A \u200dNightmare Continues<\/p>\n<p>Although Sage was eventually rescued by the FBI in Maryland, the nightmare continued when \u2062the Baltimore juvenile \u200ccourt system granted custody of the young girl to Aneesa Khan. \u200dKhan, according to Broyles, fabricated a story of abuse and neglect by the parents to justify keeping Sage in custody. \u200cWhile in custody, Sage was subjected to further sexual assault, drug exposure, and denial of medical \u2062and mental health care.<\/p>\n<p>A Call for Change<\/p>\n<p>Sage&#8217;s case highlights a &#8220;systematic \u200dfailure&#8221;\u2064 that can only be rectified\u200b when school officials recognize that transitioning a child without parental involvement is beyond their authority, Broyles emphasized. &#8220;Encouraging gender confusion in vulnerable young girls with mental\u2063 health\u200c histories is cruel and irresponsible,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Support from Governor Youngkin<\/p>\n<p>Governor Glenn Youngkin of Virginia has been vocal about Sage&#8217;s case and has implemented new\u200c guidance \u200bin the state to address the policies that contributed to her traumatic experience. &#8220;Sage&#8217;s tragic story underscores the importance of parental involvement,&#8221; stated Youngkin&#8217;s spokeswoman. \u2062&#8221;The governor remains committed to \u200bempowering parents and safeguarding the privacy, dignity, and respect of all students.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The school district has not responded to requests\u2063 for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Looking Towards a Brighter Future<\/p>\n<p>Sage, despite \u200bthe trauma she endured, remains hopeful for a brighter future. &#8220;I just\u2063 wanted to have friends,&#8221; \u200dshe confided in her mother. Blair, determined to support her daughter through the challenges of PTSD, expressed her unwavering love and commitment. While\u200b Sage may always struggle with flashbacks, \u200bBlair \u2063believes\u200d in her daughter&#8217;s ability to lead a happy life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from the Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Virginia mother is suing her local school district, alleging that her daughter was secretly transitioned by staff, leading to dangerous situations and her subsequent kidnapping and sex trafficking.
