The Republican governor of Montana voiced support for Montana authorities’ decision to remove a child from their parents’ care, possibly referencing a coinciding case that saw the removal of a 14-year-old girl from the home of parents who refused to affirm her decision to be a boy.
“To give them their best shot at reaching their full potential, children deserve to grow up in happy, healthy homes with loving families,” Gov. Greg Gianforte began in a post on X. “Sadly, this ideal is not always realized. Unfortunately, our society finds children whose life, health, and wellbeing are at serious risk from abuse and neglect, and only as a last resort, should they be removed from their home.”
