Ohio child welfare agency secretly tracking sexual orientation and transgender identity of children

11/01/2024 / By Kevin Hughes

An Ohio child welfare agency has made a database tracking the sexual orientation, transgender identity and pronouns of children who communicated with the agency.

The Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS) developed a supposed “confidential spreadsheet” that monitored the sexual orientations and transgender identities of children.

The report, which describes a document acquired by the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF), spotlights the extent to which some government agencies entrusted with the protection of children have been captured by trans activists.

The document features entries dated from March 2018 to August 2024 and the spreadsheet was part of the agency’s “Safe Identification” program, which teaches social services personnel how to gather information about the sexuality and gender identity of children.

The DCNF discovered that the Cuyahoga County DCFS was one of four social service agencies in the United States “chosen to research, develop and evaluate transgender ideology-based child welfare interventions that suggest parents and caregivers who do not affirm a child’s sexual orientation or gender confusion are unsafe and may need to have their children removed from their home.”

Members of President Joe Biden’s administration called the Cuyahoga County group “trailblazers” and wished to nationalize their model.

The Cuyahoga County DCFS team influenced the recently completed Biden order, which requires child welfare systems to approve and support gender confusion. Staff members described the confidential spreadsheet as their means of “assisting” children acquire gender treatments. They also shared that some of the children they tracked were as young as five years old.

They tracked if children were “transgender or gender diverse,” naming them as pansexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, straight or “questioning” their sexual orientation.

Ohio could soon take transgender-identifying children away from their parents

The tracking of the supposed non-heterosexual gender identities of children is one step removed from policies already in place in other parts of the country – and the world – that remove children from the homes of parents who do not want them to experience life-changing transgender drug treatments and surgeries. (Related: Ohio governor who vetoed bill protecting children from transgender interventions received $40,000 from hospitals that provide sex changes.)

Two years ago, California passed Assembly Bill 957, known as the “Transgender, Gender-Diverse, and Intersex Youth Empowerment Act,” which would treat parental refusal to “affirm” their child’s gender confusion as a violation of health, safety and welfare in any custody challenges.

The latest law requires judges governing custody battles to favor the parent who “affirms” the child’s “gender identity” and the law particularly defines “the health, safety and welfare” of a child as including “a parent’s affirmation of a child’s gender identity.”

In Canada, the National Post reported recently that an Ontario school frequently called Child Services on parents who did not want to “transition” their daughter because they wanted her to keep her healthy body. Courts have also interfered when parents do not want their children to transition, insisting that sex change treatments are a right and that to deny them is transphobic.

In the United Kingdom, the Daily Mail reported in 2019 that the government took several children away from their parents for the same reason that the parents supposedly did not want to “affirm” the chosen gender identities of their kids.
