On The Patrick Madrid Show, Sandra from Naperville, Illinois, dropped a bombshell that every parent needs to hear. During a routine check-up, her 17 and 14-year-old daughters were asked questions about gender identity and pronouns. The doctor told her girls several times that their parents wouldn’t be told about their answers! 

Sandra was understandably shocked and immediately yanked her kids out of that office. She’s now on the hunt for a pediatrician who doesn’t follow these new "standards" from the American Academy of Pediatrics. When she called to complain, the staff basically told her that most offices are following this same protocol. 

Patrick chimed in with a similar story from years ago, written by the late Kristine Franklin, who had her own “what in the world?” moment when her 12-year-old daughter was offered birth control by their family doctor: without her even knowing! The doc casually mentioned it when she asked the mom to leave the room for "privacy." Franklin was furious and wrote about it to warn other parents to keep their eyes open, because even well-meaning doctors might push your kid down a path you’d never want for them.

Stay in the room during your kids’ doctor visits, especially when they're asked about sensitive stuff.

Doctors might ask about sex, gender, and even things like guns in the house or church attendance.

Push back if you’re uncomfortable: Sandra did, and so can you! 

Parents, it’s more than just physical health at stake: it’s about keeping your kids' values and faith safe. Stay sharp!
