Okay I've read the allegations in the lawsuit and they are so disturbing. CW for sexual abuse and trafficking of a minor. There is actually so much more to this than I thought.
The lawsuit alleges that the Appomattox County Schools deliberately concealed SB's (the minor's) gender identity from her mother, and used an alternate name, alternate pronouns, and used opposite-sex facilities at the school, without the mother's knowledge. The school (allegedly) also witheld information regarding bullying, including verbal, physical, and sexual assault, from the mother because the bullying was related to SB's gender identity.
The lawsuit alleges that the bullying led SB to run away from home, after which she was found by an adult male, who kidnapped, drugged, and raped SB in the backseat of his car. He drove her to Washington DC, where he dropped her off with two men who drugged and raped her again. The two men then drove her to Baltimore, Maryland, and left her with a registered sex offender, who kept her in a locked room, raped her, and trafficked her to other men.
In Baltimore, SB was rescued by law enforcement, who then notified the parents and told them to come pick up their child. Before the parents arrived, a Maryland public defender was assigned to represent SB. This public defender (allegedly) began a process of trying to keep SB from her parents custody after learning of her gender identity. The public defender accused the minors mother of abuse and neglect due to her "failure to support SB's gender identity." CPS got involved and SB was placed in the temporary custody of the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services, where SB was placed in facilities with adolescent males, where she was sexually assaulted AGAIN, and exposed to drugs.
Because of the sexual assaults, SB ran away from the Maryland facilities and was kidnapped by an adult male AGAIN, drugged and raped AGAIN, and transported to TEXAS, where she was raped and drugged AGAIN until she was rescued by authorities, notified her mother, and returned her to Virginia. Allegedly.
Holy fuck. I have no words.
