Summary

On The Patrick Madrid Show, Sandra from Naperville, Illinois, dropped a bombshell that every parent needs to hear. During a routine check-up, her 17 and 14-year-old daughters were asked questions about gender identity and pronouns. The doctor told her girls several times that their parents wouldn’t be told about their answers! 

 

Sandra was understandably shocked and immediately yanked her kids out of that office. She’s now on the hunt for a pediatrician who doesn’t follow these new "standards" from the American Academy of Pediatrics. When she called to complain, the staff basically told her that most offices are following this same protocol

 

Patrick chimed in with a similar story from years ago, written by the late Kristine Franklin, who had her own “what in the world?” moment when her 12-year-old daughter was offered birth control by their family doctor: without her even knowing! The doc casually mentioned it when she asked the mom to leave the room for "privacy." Franklin was furious and wrote about it to warn other parents to keep their eyes open, because even well-meaning doctors might push your kid down a path you’d never want for them.

 

Stay in the room during your kids’ doctor visits, especially when they're asked about sensitive stuff.

 

Doctors might ask about sex, gender, and even things like guns in the house or church attendance.

 

Push back if you’re uncomfortable: Sandra did, and so can you! 

 

Parents, it’s more than just physical health at stake: it’s about keeping your kids' values and faith safe. Stay sharp!

We'll go to Sandra now in Naperville, Illinois.

0:02.2

Hi, Sandra.

0:03.1

Hello.

0:03.5

It's not really a question.

0:05.0

I just more wanted to kind of raise a little bit of awareness in the event that parents don't know that this is going on

0:11.5

because my kids just happen to be old enough where they can share this information with me.

0:16.5

But my 17-year-old daughter and 14-year-old daughter told me that at their child's pediatrician wellness visit, when the doctor was with them in the room, she asked them what gender they feel most comfortable with, what pronouns they use.

0:35.1

And according to my girls, very much several times repeated,

0:41.8

we won't tell your parents. Your parents won't know. And this combined with the legislation

0:48.9

that is, I think it's been passed, the collaboration between the medical community, the school,

0:55.5

and DCFS to assess the mental health of children in school using screeners that also can

1:04.3

apparently read their body language to develop, you know, intervention plans for kids they deem to be in crisis.

1:13.4

I just feel this is all very dangerous, and parents really need to maybe ask to be present.

1:19.2

I mean, I pulled my kids out of that office this morning.

1:21.4

I called and told them I didn't appreciate the doctor grooming my children,

1:25.1

and I pulled all three out, and I'm now going to start looking

1:28.5

for a pediatrician that doesn't participate. Good for you.

1:32.7

And what they're explaining to me is the standards of Academy of Pediatrics.

1:36.2

Good for you. I told me I might be hard pressed to find an office that doesn't do this,

1:40.0

since it's part of the guidance, but I will find one.

1:45.7

Good for you.

1:48.0

And, I mean, you're doing exactly the right thing.
