The WAR on Parental Authority - Global Population Health Summit Panel Discussion.

[@jcortese3300]

It's not parental authority that's being undermined -- it's parental love, instinct, and protection. It's the natural parental desire, bred into all living beings over millions of years, to nurture and defend their offspring. It's not authority they are trying to destroy, it's love.

[@jcimsn8464]

It's parental authority as schools can legally gender transition your child behind your back. A 16 yo autistic child has already been removed from their parents in Maryland. The law is not on the parents side. California laws and other states also will take your child and already have.

[@AndyJarman]

We have been seduced into assuming the state has authority over us. This is a reasonable assumption since our elected officials create statutes that control our lives. But this is not how democracy is intended to work. As we become enmeshed in an ever more labyrinthine web of "regulation" to take command becomes an unfamiliar even frightening prospect. The great distances between family members, both physical geographic distances and experiential and the philosophical-ideological distances between family members, we become strangers to each other. The term 'extended' family presupposes anything but the nuclear family is a contrivance. This is a sad state of affairs. We are tempted to pity and mock the Chinese for the "little emperor" syndrome created by the one child policy of the CCP, but then copy that government unthinkingly and wonder why this generation in the west act with petulance and self regard. The core of society is the family NOT the state. The state was formed to serve the family. Until the mid 20th century the family included a wide menagerie of aunts and uncles, cousins, and inlaws, batty and brave and crumugenly. This gave us a pallet of personalities and taught us tolerance and discretion, love and forbearance. Reflect on your family today. How much influence do they have on your children's lives, if you even have children. This is what is withering, this is why these people are messing with our children. They have very very little heritage, a very vague ephemeral sense of what the family is. Deracinated, adrift, and vulnerable, they have very little out of which they can spin a story about who they are.

@@jcimsn8464 I still feel like it's love and caring that they are targeting, wanting to make kids vulnerable to exploitation. There are times when parents can't do whatever they want to their kids. Parental authority doesn't mean parents can beat and abuse their kids, and kids have been taken by CPS for things like that. But this is like punishing parents for wanting to protect their kids from medicalization and abuse. It's absolutely insane.

[@jennmcdavitt3782]

Love? Parents should know that mutilating their kids is wrong. They shouldn't be able to be manipulated into thinking different. This has destroyed thousands of children's lives. All teachers parents and doctors belong in prison. Parents need to learn how to be Parents. They need God. This is a great evil. One that would never have happened if bad people didn't take God out of daily life

[@GordieGii]

@@jennmcdavitt3782 But the government is taking kids away from parents who want to transition their kids. They're taking them away from parents who *don't* want to.

[@jennmcdavitt3782]

So I've been to prison in my younger years so I do not say this lightly. Every teacher, therapist and doctor that has groomed children should be in prison. Between 20yrs and life depending. All surgeons should get life. Therapists no less than 30yrs. And teachers at least 20. I'm dead serious. They inflicted damage that will last children a lifetime. Their punishment should be just as long. And to all the people that refused to report this abuse should have their liscence suspended for 5 yrs. They need to realize that sanity depended on people speaking up. Depended on people keeping their oath to do no harm and to report harm when done. They should have to work a min wage job and realize they were trusted to keep kids safe. And they didn't bc they were afraid and wanted to keep their jobs. I discovered all this about a yr ago and I've never been more angry

[@jamiegraham5841]

You are right, these kids and families deserve justice. My fear is that these teachers, doctors, therapists will keep pointing to authorities above them and so they will escape consequences in this world. And they can try to convince themselves they were just following guidelines but ultimately there will be judgement and I do pray that they ask for forgiveness before time is up.

[@jamiegraham5841]

Affrimation is regressive. It affirms male female roles and characteristics need be carried out/ exhibited the way society has deemed. We fought to break these sterotyopes. This is incredibly regressive.

[@TheSapphire51]

No debate prevents all the connotations being honestly recognised and considered so no informed consent which is fundamental to ethical practices. This is a medical and psychological scandal, child and parental abuse. It is complicitwith child abusers.

As a mental health professional I just want to say that Sven's approach to working with patients is exactly what I learned to do for positive outcomes. He speaks the truth about what works for healing mental health issues.

School districts that have embraced gender identity are committing a type of parental alienation.

[@thegenxgamerguy6562]

In a healthy world parents would be loved for all the care and love they gift their children with. In the sick woke weirdo clown world we live, parents are shunned and excluded from their childrens life.

I live in Sweden. What bothered me as a single parent (widow) with several risk factors for covid-19 - and I spoke with many parents with risk factors who had experienced the same thing - was that when you asked about your own safety relative to the children being in school, the only reply you got was that the kids were safe. That was not the question, though. Most of the people I know who contracted covid got it from their kids. They have to have got it from their kids, because the parents worked at home. And I found that non-reply eroded MY trust in the experts. Also, I was very annoyed by the talk of social distancing. There was never a need for social distancing, but for physical distancing. My aunt, who was 75+ at the time, regularly met her friends for walks. They walked a bit further from each other than usual, but kept on going for walks and continued to socialise. Sadly, the people here in Sweden - I understood when I saw street interviews on the telly - never seemed to realise what 2 meters is. I remember especially an interview with people sitting close to each other on benches outside, claiming to sit apart. The only way they were 2 meters apart is if you count from the mouth down to the ground and then up to the next person's mouth.agreed - was that when you asked about your own safety relative to the children being in school,

Exactly, the closing of schools and masking for children was typically presented as preventing spread from children to vulnerable adults like their parents and grandparents. Children were more likely to be asymptomatic but contagious. Additionally, children are not exempt from long Covid and there are estimates that 1.3% of children in the US have experienced long Covid which sounds like very few, but that is hundreds of thousands of children. We have no idea the long term impacts a vascular virus will have on children’s health and development and just because children didn’t die from Covid in large numbers doesn’t mean masking and taking precautions wasn’t warranted. It will take decades before we understand the impact repeat infections will have on people, especially children, and I pray the impacts won’t be severe.

[@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609]

@@jaythomas5045 So do i. But in Sweden, the response when we at-risk-parents asked what to do about our children being at school, the response was consistently that the children were not at risk. It was like talking to a wall.

Hello from Finland - I remember. It felt horrifying in 2020 watching vulnerable people in Sweden not getting any attention. In the end, on a population level, it did shake out OK(ish), but at the time it was horrible. The shaming of people wanting to mask was horrific. A deep moral pain. Things were a bit better here, I remember reading articles about children staying home from school because of parents with significant risk factors. It a little bit frictious already autumn of 2020 - sure, if your parent is undergoing chemo stay home, but we have to draw the line somewhere... some angry letters to the editor here and there. Luckily when the vaccine came it was extremely tightly rationed by risk group (and age) for the first six months, so the most vulnerable got the protection first (must have been half a year between when my very frail 80+ father got his shot and I got mine).

Hello from Denmark. It doesn't sound to me as if the Danish-American woman Natalya knew was particularly up to date on what was going on in Denmark. Schools were absolutely locked down for about 5 weeks between March and April 2020 when the youngest children were allowed to return to school. The rest had to wait until May. In December schools closed again, and remained closed till February 2021 when the youngest children were allowed back. Others had to wait until March. It felt really bad, and everybody was worried about what the emotional and psychological effects of not being able to socialize would be for children and the young. Maybe things were worse in the US, and that's the thing. Natalya - like Americans usually do - just assumes that the entire world know all of the intricate details of life in America. We don't. Why do Americans talk about distrust in the experts etc.? What are all the lies we were supposedly told? I don't get it. Furthermore, covid was something new. Nobody knew how dangerous, contagious or deadly it was. And the nasty thing kept mutating. Here we were told that children didn’t get as sick as adults, but that they could absolutely spread the disease so they shouldn’t be around the elderly or others with health problems. I wish somebody would tell me what the big horrible scam was and what this American paranoia and being terrible wronged is all about!

I agree. This came off as fuzzy headed. Part of the problem is the lack of guidance for better care than "watchful waiting." I've developed The Wellness Checklist and recently got a teen boy out of this rabbit hole in only 6 weeks. Trans Widow Ute Heggen yt channel.
