Where do you stand on the foster couple who sent their foster son to school in girls’ clothing, aged three, despite express requests from his teachers not to do so, and encouraged him to think of himself as a girl? The same couple had allowed their youngest biological son to do the same age seven, and had taken steps to legally change his – now her – name and passport. However, the child later told a member of staff at school that she did ‘not think life was worth living.’
A third foster child previously in the same couple’s care is also reported as exhibiting ‘gender identity issues.’
The foster parents, whose identity has been kept anonymous, were investigated by Lancashire county council social work service, but at a closed hearing last month in Preston family court, the judge, Mr Justice Williams, dismissed their concerns and ruled that all five of their children – two biological and three fostered – could remain with them.
