A mom whose juvenile son was helped in sex-changed procedures by officials in Minnesota against her wishes is seeking a determination from the U.S. Supreme Court on whether that’s right.

Officials with the Thomas More Society on Wednesday asked the high court to review a decision from the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that essentially endorsed the decision by county officials to shepherd the boy through a sex change.

The petition for a writ of certiorari is in the case Anmarie Calgaro v. St. Louis County et al and explains Calgaro’s due process rights were trampled when the county and its referred health providers ended her parental control over her minor son without her permission or a court order of emancipation.

Erick Kaardal, special counsel for the Thomas More Society, explained Calgaro’s right to supervise her child’s welfare, educational and medical care decisions were ripped away by St. Louis County authorities without even parental notice.

“It’s a parent’s worst nightmare,” he explained. “Anmarie Calgaro’s child, while a minor, was steered through a life-changing, permanent body altering process, becoming a pawn in someone else’s sociopolitical agenda and being influenced by those who have no legal or moral right to usurp the role of a parent.”

“Unbelievably,” he continued, “Minnesota statutes authorize a county to deem a minor ’emancipated’ to receive welfare payments to live on their own and allow medical providers to void parental input if it determines the minor is living apart from the parents and is managing personal financial affairs. And the St. Louis County School District in Minnesota has a custom and practice of barring a parent for more than two years from involvement in the child’s education after a child is deemed by the school principal, not by a court order, to be emancipated.”

He said it’s a “serious violation of parental and due process rights.

She sued after her son was given elective medical services for a sex change – while still a minor – without her permission or knowledge.

There also had been no determination that he was emancipated, or given authority to make his own health decisions.

Kaardal said St. Louis County determined, without any basis, that the child was emancipated and could receive government benefits, even though Calgaro was a “fit parent” who objected to their actions….

Lord God, thank you for this brave parent to take this to court. May it continue to the Supreme Court and bring some sanity to this tragic lifestyle, especially parental rights concerning it.

Father, I pray that the fear of God would fall on the politicians, the judges, the churches, and the pastors in this nation!

Our merciful, righteous God, we plead for Your divine intervention to thwart the evil intent that distorts and mocks your good work in creating this young boy in your image. We grieve for the sin of our nation that our children have been sacrificed. I plead Your mercy and forgiveness. I pray that Your Righteousness and Justice would prevail over this wickedness and role of parents in shepherding their children would be preserved for the glory of Your Holy Name. Even so, Yeshua come!

    I am also praying for your son. I am horrified at the County taking your parental rights away, dismissing because of an immoral philosophical/political agenda. This is why we need to pray for justice in our nation. This act was both unjustifiable and unjust. It is the result of government assuming they are able to decide what is best for your child. Calif and other states already do this type of control when a teen wants to have an abortion without parental knowledge.
