On Tuesday, Republican state Senator Scott Wilk warned parents in California to flee the state if they love their children, or they could risk being deemed “abusive” by a new radical bill advanced by California’s Senate Judiciary Committee.
The committee voted to pass Assembly Bill 957 with an 8-2 vote, which will characterize a “parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.”
The measure will alter Section 3011 of the California Family Code, forcing judges to consider whether or not parents “affirm” a child’s “transgender” identity.
In other words, if parents do not affirm their child’s delusions, it could be considered “abuse” in the Golden State.
“In the past, when we’ve had these discussions, and I’ve seen parental rights atrophy, I’ve encouraged people to keep fighting,” Wilk declared during the Tuesday night Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
“I’ve changed my mind on that — if you love your children, you need to flee California,” he warned. “You need to flee.”
Wilk explained that the bill could also be used by the state to remove children from their homes if their parents don’t “support the ideology of the government.”
“It just breaks my heart. I [was] born and raised in California, I love this state,” he continued. “I’m not gonna stay in this state because it’s just too oppressive.”
“I believe in freedom,” Wilk added, stating thatt he’ll “move to America when I leave the legislature.”

Republican state Sen. Roger Niello, who voted against the measure along with Wilk, argued that “[t]he elevation of the issue accepts gender affirmation care as an accomplished science and accepts gender affirmation as the appropriate approach by a parent,” despite numerous European countries, including the U.K.and Sweden, moving away from the “affirmation” model.

Nicole Peterson, founder of law firm and civil rights advocacy group Facts Law Truth Justice, told The Daily Signal that AB 957 “is a horrifying bill for children, and for parents and guardians not just in California but across the country.”
Peterson said California’s far-left Gov. Gavin Newsom, who previously signed a bill allowing state courts to assert custody jurisdiction over children who have been transported to California to undergo gender interventions, “is gunning for president in 2028.”
Peterson suggested that if Newsom signs AB 957 “into law, here, it will be headed to every state if he wins.”
“If a parent or guardian is unwilling or simply not ready to affirm their 7-year-old’s new identity — as they transition from SpongeBob to Batman to Dora the Explorer — they can be found guilty of child abuse under AB-957 if it passes into law,” Peterson said.
Bill AB 957 is set to head to the full Senate for a vote after passing the Senate Judiciary Committee.
