(CALIFORNIA GLOBE) – Democrats in California are now in the business of creating a crisis, then providing perverted and distorted “solutions” in legislation designed to appear to help. However, there are very few things government does well, and California government leads the pack of incompetent governments.

A new bill, Assembly Bill 665 by Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo (D-Los Angeles) would allow children as young as 12 years to consent to mental health treatment or counseling without parental approval or involvement.

“California is failing on children’s mental health and preventive care,” Ms. Carrillo’s bill states.

She got that right, but not for the reasons she stated in the bill. “California” choked off and even destroyed the lives of millions of children when Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered every school in the state closed during Covid. Other states remained open while California’s kids were relegated to home confinement, attending online school from the family kitchen table – away from friends, teachers, sports, clubs, dances, recess, parks and social activities.

Children not only lost an entire year of learning recent studies have found, their social development and wellbeing was stunted. Many plummeted into deep depressions. Some are still suffering.

As the Globe reported Tuesday, “California and other states that imposed more severe regimens ‘didn’t gain anything.’”

Assembly Bill 665 appears to be an offshoot of Sen. Scott Wiener’s SB 866 from last year, which was an offshoot of another family-destroying bill authorizing children to seek medical care without parental oversight and approval.

OPPOSE AB 665: Allows Minors to Consent to Counseling Without Parents

Read the Petition

Honorable Senator:

I am writing to express my opposition to California\'s AB 665. This bill poses serious risks to the safety and well-being of minors. By allowing minors as young as 12 to consent to mental health treatment without parental consent or notification, the bill undermines the role of parents in the care and protection of their children. This could lead to situations where minors who do not have the capacity to make informed decisions about their treatment are left to manage their own care, potentially exposing them to serious harm. Moreover, by removing the requirement that minors be in danger of serious harm or abuse, the bill could lead to an overreach in treatment that is not in the best interest of the minor. It could also compromise the ability of professionals to adequately assess a minor\'s needs and determine the most appropriate course of action. For these reasons, I urge you to OPPOSE AB 665 and take steps to promote policies that prioritize the safety and well-being of minors, while also respecting the rights of parents to make informed decisions about their child\'s care. Please VOTE \"NO\" on AB 665. Thank you!
