Yeah this unfortunate some religious parents are still trying to send their LGBTQ children to these conversion schools!!! I didn't even know this existed till someone told me they were forced to go on KIK. No child should be forced to anything that they don't want to do. Especially with religion involved, just as bad as government sometimes. Glad family services stepped in!!!!!

These parents should drive down the Interstate and visit Leelah Alcorn's parents.

But I guess that they would rather have a dead daughter than a live son.

Last I heard Leelah's parents still think that they did the right thing, so I doubt this would help anything.

On one hand I have no use for those so called conversion therapy places as most appear to operate shady.
On the other hand the child is a minor and serious or non reversible changes in their body shouldn't really be allowed by parents or government until they are of legal age.
No parent should ever threaten to kill a kid.
It's a bad situation either way.
