Some child welfare workers in Texas say they’re quitting over a new directive that allows abuse investigations into parents of transgender kids
into the parents of some transgender kids, child welfare supervisor Randa Mulanax said what happened next strayed from normal protocols.
The court fight in Texas comes as Republicans across the country are leaning into policies aimed at transgender Americans,. But Texas is the only state where a GOP governor has greenlighted abuse cases against the parents of transgender children, which several current and departing Texas child welfare workers say was rushed into action and has sunk already low morale at their troubled state agency even deeper.
Patrick Crimmins, spokesman for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, declined comment Thursday, citing the ongoing lawsuit. The cases were to be referred to as “special assignments” rather than using a case name or number, according to McCowen. She said upper managers told investigators a survey would be sent out internally to address questions about the directive, but none ever arrived.
