Keeping parents in the dark about their children's mental health endangers children and leaves them vulnerable to predators. Activists and committee Democrats have falsely and presumptively claimed Virginia parents would be "unsafe" and abusive to their kids experiencing gender confusion and therefore should be kept in the dark.
In 2024, Committee Democrats even claimed informing parents of their own child's mental health would "drive a wedge" between the teacher and the child--as if the primary relationship in a child's life is a brief time with a teacher, not the lifelong bond of parent and child.
Sage's school secretly treated her as male, leading to an assault in the male bathroom. Despite her known vulnerability, the school withheld their actions and information about the bullying from her parents, denying them the opportunity to intervene before it was too late. Sage fled the bullying and was caught by predators, precipitating a nearly year-long nightmare.
This is exactly what happened to Sage's family--an activist judge in Baltimore kept her from her family for 2 months, leading to further harm when Sage ran away from the state home and was caught by a predator. Families across the country have lost children for the same reason to ideologically-driven activists in child protective services and courts. (Virginia bill)

Subject: Vote for Governor's Amendment
(Sage's Law) to SB SB 1048 and HB 1678.
Dear Legislators,
Governor Youngkin's parental notification amendment ( Sage's Law) would provide essential protection to Virginia kids. It ensures parents are aware of critical mental health information about their own children, and that counselors cannot secretly work to transition a child at school.
No parent, liberal or conservative, should ever be lied to by their child's school about their own child's mental health and safety.
Virginia voters overwhelmingly oppose secret gender transitions in school.
Sage lived through a nightmare of horrifying abuse that was first set in motion by her school's transitioning her in secret from her parents. Later, the school counselors, who had only known Sage for days and had never met her parents, testified against them in court, helping a radical attorney and judge remove her from their custody on false accusations of "abuse." Sage nearly died as a result.
Sage's Law would help prevent these terrible distortions of justice from occurring again in Virginia.
Please vote YES on the Governor's amendments to SB 1048 and HB 1678.
