Mom says trans eighth-grader was questioned by Texas officials at school
A declaration recounting the incident was filed as part of an ongoing lawsuit by LGBTQ legal advocates

On the morning of Aug. 30, a 13-year-old transgender boy was pulled out of class by his school’s administrators, his mother says. While his classmates continued their studies, he sat in a conference room at a Texas middle school where a Department of Family and Protective Services investigator began asking personal questions, court records state.

The reason: The state agency was probing his family following a February directive from Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to investigate the use of gender-affirming care in minors as child abuse, according to court documents.

The nearly hour-long interview touched on a range of personal topics — from the teen’s medical history to his gender dysphoria diagnosis to his suicide attempt years back, court records state. The interrogation left the boy — identified under the pseudonym Steve Koe — shaking and distressed, according to a signed declaration from his mother, named as Carol Koe.

The document, obtained by The Washington Post, is part of a cache of supplemental evidence filed late Wednesday as part of an ongoing lawsuit by LGBTQ advocates seeking to block investigations into families providing gender-affirming care to their transgender children.

IANAL, but in my recollection HIPAA protects against them asking his DOCTOR about his medical history, they can ask him all they want. He should tell them where to stick it though, he doesn't have to answer. But one can hardly expect a 13yo pulled out of class cornered alone to stand up to the Texas LGBT Enforcers. Which is bullshit.

Is he actually arresting or detaining these people or just luring them to take part?
