A family in Glasgow, Montana is accusing the state’s child protective services of “kidnapping” their teenage daughter after the girl began to identify as a transgender “boy.” Krista and Todd Kolstad spoke to Reduxx about their ordeal, revealing that the child had been removed from their care and was now going to be sent to Canada.
Krista, the child’s step-mother, explains that their nightmare began in August of 2023 after they received a call that their 14-year-old daughter, Jennifer*, had expressed suicidal ideations while at school.
“She had always had problems at school,” Krista says, noting that she and Todd had even pulled her from one district and sent her to another due to issues with bullying in an effort to give her a fresh start. But despite experiencing some real-world hardships, Krista claims Jennifer also had some undiagnosed mental health concerns, including attention-seeking behavior.
Later on that same evening, a case worker with Montana Child and Family Services (CFS) showed up to the Kolstad home to speak with Jennifer and do an inspection. Krista had been preparing dinner at the time, and invited the case worker to tour the residence despite both her and her husband being distressed by the sudden appearance.

This is beyond evil. Taking a child away from parents in order to affirm delusion. This makes my blood boil.
@PartisanDeerConstitution4mos4MO
We need more parents to defy immoral gag orders, the public needs to know what the tax payer funded government and courts are doing to our children and parents.
I had no idea the communist agenda was so strong in Montana.
@YakBrooklynRepublican4mos4MO
Someone needs to expose their online history and probably who their school teachers are. That’ll probably tell the entire tale the parents are not to blame the state, and these communist actors are..
being that this is in the middle of nowhere, they were probably hoping to keep it out of the headlines

This is wrong, a massive over step on our rights

Children under the age of 21 are mature enough to make informed decisions. I think it is criminal to talk talk to children about sex changes. It is the parents job to protect their children. The child needs a psychologist not a brainwashed idiot. The first tenant of medicine is no harm. How are hormonsnot problem or how mutilating the body doing noo harm?
@9JHJ3284mos4MO
It shows how your not even supported by ur own family and get looked downed on for expressing yourself.
I think that CPS was right, and I think that this is an interesting case in family law that will set an important precedent
@9JHGVLJ4mos4MO
People, even kids need to be allowed to be who they are. And if the parents are detrimental to their safety then they should not be around them.
@9JHFL6J4mos4MO
Life is hard. Changing or transitioning gender must be horribly difficult. If someone is willing to go through that process which is massive, then people should be more empathetic to those transitioning and their internal struggles. Why should they be forced to live the life others want for them or imposed thoughts of a good and its preference.
@9JHGFJW4mos4MO
Children shouldn't be allowed to make irreversible life decisions.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
What a horrific and tyrannical example of government overreach! Stealing your children from you because you have the temerity to express the slightest disagreement with the prospect of having someone mutilate her to support irrational and anti-scientific delusions! This, right here, is grounds for WAR. All parents, everywhere, regardless of your beliefs, politically, religiously, or by any other metric, are ENEMIES OF THE STATE. They are coming after ME, and YOU, and EVERYONE who disagrees with them. We cannot stand for this Dystopian nightmare one second longer.
@9JHCDBP4mos4MO
Disallowing children the ability to express themselves and be comfortable with who they are is child abuse. The reason the trans suicide rate is as high as it is is because of people not accepting that trans identities are valid
@9JHDFB8Independent4mos4MO
I believe that although many people have different perspectives on whether gender transitions and such should happen or not, disowning a family member over it is despicable because it shows your true lack of love for that person. It is hypocritical for religious people as well (and I would consider myself very religious).

I think his daughter should be free and express herself
