During tests, the hospital refused to call Kolstad's daughter by female pronouns or the name given to her at birth. Instead, they called her a boy named “Leo.”That's how it should be illegal Montana would allow children to receive “permanent, life-changing medical procedures” such as hormone blockers, cross-sex hormones, or irreversible surgery. But unlike conservatives, progressives never ask permission to exercise bureaucratic power. (ROOKE: States follow blueprint to legalize new forms of child trafficking)
Staff ultimately determined that the pain medication could not be taken along with the cleaning supplies, as the girl had claimed. Physically, she was fine.
In any logical country, this would be the end of continued state involvement, but we no longer live in a country that protects the sacred rights of parents. Instead, they are forced to sit and watch as the state exercises its power over their families.
Their daughter ends up in the hospital due to suicidal thoughts. Mrs. Kolstad says gender ideology was imposed on her daughter, even though Republican state law criminalizes the barbaric act.

“One day I came and she [a hospital aide] Mrs Kolstad was talking about having top surgery and being non-binary,” adding that when she complained to the doctor on duty, the doctor asked her: .Then what? [the aide] are you talking about?
At the end of their daughter's hospitalization, the couple agreed to have her mental health issues treated in a specialized residential care facility. The state told the couple they would be staying at one of six facilities in Montana.
Just hours after the family was informed that their daughter would be next admitted to a facility in Billings, Montana, CPS traveled to Wyoming to pick her up for treatment. “They called me and said there was a bed available in Wyoming and Jennifer needed to go,” Kolstad said, adding that she was “surprised” when the doctor told her she had to go. I did,” he added. She has no use here. ”
“No one told us the name of the facility. No one answered our questions. We told them we wanted them to answer our questions before accepting the bed,” Kolstad said. said. (Luke: American parents take on trans cult and win big in Maine)

They claim that CFS came to collect their daughter with the help of local police. “They showed up at our house and gave us paperwork to remove Jennifer from our care. We were told the reason was because they were 'unable or refusing to provide medical care.' That is simply not true,” Mrs. Kolstad said.
The daughter has been living outside the home since August 23, 2023.
Mrs. Kolstad said that during a Jan. 19 court hearing to decide whether to regain custody of their daughter, the court seemed to be concerned more than anything else with whether the parents were willing to follow a transgender cult.

The Kolstads said they would “keep fighting” despite a judge's order to remain silent.

Everyone is quick to tell you to go red before it's too late, but this can happen to your family too. But the Kolstads are currently living this nightmare in Montana, a state that boasts laws that oppose gender ideology. It is dominated by Republicans and is not considered a progressive state. This is the kind of nation that those seeking traditional values can rely on, and the transgender cult still holds his daughter captive.
The reality parents face is that there is no one else to save their families. There is no safe place or sanctuary for parents to hide. The left is coming for the kids. Kolstad is living proof.
