What would you do if the state took your child… and you had no say in where they went?
In this special episode of The SoCon Report, Grace Youngson sits down with Charles Smith to share his firsthand account of how the state of Connecticut removed his 14-year-old daughter from his home and placed her with a same-sex couple after disagreements over gender identity.
What followed raises serious questions about parental rights and the role of government in families’ lives.
Charles walks through what happened and how it unfolded, including:
- How schools and counselors influenced his daughter’s beliefs
- What led to state intervention and loss of custody
- How his family went years without contact
- What ultimately happened when his daughter turned 18
This is not a distant issue. It’s happening to families today.
