Just because I may disagree with an organization , it doesn ' t mean I disagree with their conclusion on this particular law that it is a potential danger for LGBT children in abusive households . Additionally , abused children are extremely good at lying . No one knew I was abused until I willingly offered that information in high school and that was only after I acknowledged it as abuse . My older sister went to school with black eyes and nothing happened . I ' ve encountered CPS multiple times , lied to social workers right to their faces , had police officers say we ' re liars to our faces , and so on and so forth . Abused children , much like women in abusive romantic relationships , are experts at making sure no one knows anything is wrong . I absolutely do not believe that the solution to preventing the transing of young , confused children is to throw everyone under the bus , because you might stop a kid from a life of medical intervention while also keeping some kids in the closet for fear of physical abuse . Of course , I ' d be happy for nonabusive parents to work with schools to support their child . However , not every parent has their child ' s best interest at mind . It isn ' t up to a school to disclose this . If a child isn ' t going to hurt themselves or others , it isn ' t up to the school or rather , more likely , a counselor or a trusted teacher to break that child ' s trust in them . This law is not the answer .
