(LifeSiteNews) — California seized a Christian woman’s teenage daughter for opposing her “gender transition,” and now the state is moving to put the girl up for adoption.
Alexandra Lyashchenko, an Orthodox Christian and legal Ukrainian immigrant, lost custody of her then-15-year-old daughter in 2024 after rejecting her “sudden desire to transition.”
Lyashchenko told NTD that California is “deciding that my daughter is going to be adopted out.”
Her family was “forced out of California” and is now “hiding in Florida” because California also wants her younger son, she added.
The far-left state has legally separated the girl and her parents, according to Lyashchenko.
She also said that she believes that her daughter was sexually assaulted in the foster system, noting that the girl was housed with boys due to her supposed “gender identity.”
Lyashchenko has accused Dr. Michelle Sager, the director of psychiatry at Children’s Legacy Center in Redding, California, of indoctrinating her daughter. She told NTD that she believes that her daughter’s school “secretly indoctrinated” her as well.
Lyashchenko said that her daughter also used the online platform Discord, which hosts radical pro-LGBT servers and where the girl looked into “online psychology.” The mother said that she suspects that Sager led her daughter to a “particular LGBT server” on Discord.
The girl eventually asked for consent to undergo testosterone, which her parents refused.
Testosterone and other transgender hormones are linked to serious and even life-threatening side effects, including cancer, stroke, and sterilization.
“They called us culturally unfit for raising our daughter in present-day America, meaning we refuse to mutilate and sterilize her,” Lyashchenko said. She noted that she and her husband have “no custody conflict” and “fight unanimously” to protect the girl.
“We were forced out of our house,” which they put on the market but “were not even able to sell,” she said. Her family has also spent nearly $500,000 in legal fees.
Lyashchenko slammed what described as the “cult” that pushes child “gender transitions.” “Police, medical, educational, mental, and law enforcement – every entity works with [child protective services],” she added.
Asked if she had a message for the people separating her from her daughter, Lyashchenko said, “I want to see them in jail.”
“I want to testify and I would bring my daughter to testify and say what they’ve done to her,” she stated.
California is known for its radical pro-LGBT policies, particularly regarding children.
In 2022, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill, SB 107, that allows California courts to take “emergency jurisdiction” of children who come to the state for “gender transitions.”
Newsom later signed a law that banned schools from requiring parental notification about children’s gender confusion, though the Supreme Court ruled against the law in March.
The state also indoctrinates children into LGBT ideology in public schools, with mandatory pro-LGBT instruction and promotion of LGBT activist groups to schoolchildren.
Several other parents in California have lost their custody rights for not embracing their children’s “gender transitions,” including Abigail Martinez, whose gender-confused daughter ultimately killed herself after being taken by the state.
“She went to the railroad track. I was told that she just walked in front of the train, lay on her knees, raised her hands, and took her life away,” Martinez said.
In another horrific case, a teenage girl was abused in male juvenile detention center and trafficked across multiple states after her Virginia public school hid her gender confusion from her parents and a Baltimore public defender insisted that the parents were not “sufficiently affirming.”
Virginia Democrats later blocked a bill named after the girl that would have required schools to alert parents if their children expressed gender confusion and clarified that refusing a “transition” is not abuse or neglect.
Parents who opposed transgenderism have also lost custody of their children in Chicago, D.C., Ohio, and even Texas.
Child services agencies in the U.S. have taken children away after their parents refused vaccination or other medical interventions as well.

Cool so when will we protest. Republicans are fucking lazy
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in a long line of cases that parents are responsible for the upbringing of their children, not the State. The parents of the girl has a civil rights cause of action against those who took their child away, under 42 section 1983. They can sue the State agents individually, claims of immunity notwithstanding.
> she would be safe together with her bloodline inside the USSR
No, retard.
> Under Joseph Stalin, the Soviet government reversed course in the late 1920s and promoted harsher policy against LGBTQ rights. In 1933, homosexuality was recriminalised in the Soviet Union, and Article 121, which prohibited male homosexuality, was added to the Soviet penal code in the following year.
Clown world never fails to deliver
If the state took my child I would find it extremely difficult not to respond with much anger.
Revised: CRUEL!!! MERCILESS!!! RUTHLESS!!! Gavin ‘American Psycho’ Newsom California government goons/gangsters steal/kidnap unarmed, young “white” girl that taxpayer funded indoctrination witches/teachers brainwashed to behave as an unrepentant sexual deviant, after Christian minded parents oppose genital mutilation experiment of multi-billion dollar violence against God’s appointed biological sex industry, then move to force kidnapped/stolen girl they sexually deranged up for adoption to adult unrepentant devil worshipping sexual deviants. Do you see how the sexual deviant racket to dement, steal and overcome your children occurs? I have a stern and ominous warning to unrepentant devil worshipers; if you attempt to sexually misuse and abuse my child to satisfy your demonic inspired sexual proclivities/perversions, in such a cruel and unusual manner, starting at the top of the RICO Democrat crime family, everyone directed and indirectly connected to the conspiracy to brainwash my child to behave as an unrepentant sexual deviant better dig a hole and bury himself or herself alive in the ground, lest I apprehend him or her first….
MOVE YOUR FEET AS YOU PRAY… Gavin ‘American Psycho’ Newsom or similar unrepentant devil worshiper will never be a legal and legitimate President of these Divided States. Mark my words, God won’t permit it, unless our best citizens permit it to happen by their inaction and/or lack of direct action to rightfully obstruct and prevent it by what means are necessary and proper according to the doctrines of a just war against the forces of evil/sin/self rule.
Too long, didn’t read, schizo ranting

Good for them.
They should assign gender at birth, no wait, they do.
The should start at the neonatal level.
Did the newborn baby grab the blue toy or the pink toy?
That would be the random choice ( no bias involved, so it is legitimate ) that ONLY the child can determine.
This would be all the CA medical care system scientific proof they need.
You presume that picking blue means that the child is male and pink female? You sure about that?
And to think, had history gone another way, she would be safe together with her bloodline inside the USSR.
History as Americans have learned it has turned out to be a total lie.
As far as the future, this woman’s Bolshevik relations knew “what to do” as Lenin famously titled his book.
Too triggered by Soviet Communists being demonstrably preferable to American Democrats? GFY. Stories like this show that American perception of the world is complete upside down and backward. This system in California is illegitimate, anti-American, monstrous and evil. Further, anyone who _accepts this system_ is a POS. That includes every single moron/coward that ever pays a dime of tax to California, whether sales or income or property.
