Not for that specific reasonâŚ
Does he identify that way as well? If so no sorry thereâs nothing they can do
But even if he doesnât, to call DSS of CPS on someone for that is a little much, CPS is a very serious thing and not something to mess around with, you could ruin not only the childâs life but the parents as well, there are kids out there that actually really need CPS to come and help them, in order for us to answer this properly we need more information

So this post needs a lil more answers⌠does the boy identify as a girl âŚor is it that his mother wanted a girl child an decide to dress him in girl clothes ?
Some of these questions I feel are just to piss ppl off⌠As long as mom is providing and a loving mother I donât see the problem ⌠unless sheâs forcing him to dress that way then thatâs different
If that kid is trans or non binary and identifies as a girl, leave them alone. Period.

They can do as they please till everyone unites and says NO MORE!
Google Canada father from ontatio / toronto whos in jail for speaking out over his son and they school / workers helping him to get access to growth hormones! The kids a minor!
They put a gag order in father and when he wouldnât shut up through him in jail.
Province of ns has another school helping a 12 yr old access chest binders and has workers texting her child after hours! Her childs a minor to!
Neither parent objects to who their kids wanna be but they both objected to outsiders not informing them over their minors.
START STANDING UP!! SAT NO MORE!!
I feel like there is a lot more information being left out here. If a child identifies themselves as either a boy or girl that is not a situation for CPS this wouldnât even be on the radar unless this has to do with some kind of abuse like the parent forcing the child to be a gender they donât want to be for attention or their own selfish reason. If the child spoke up and said my mom is making me do this then I can see that the welfare of the child being questioned by CPS.
Also how old is this child? Are they even able to make a choice like this for themselves and understand what this means. I mean if there still a child why would you put a transgender label on them so young? Itâs possible this child is being a child and wants to do what they like or prefer. Your job as the parent is to educate your child well enough so that as they grow older they can understand what these labels mean and can assign their own label (if they choose) to themselves on their own time without someone doing it for them. As parents we can speculate if our child is gay, straight or trans but this is your childâs own journey and it takes time for some to find out who they are.

No CPS cannot remove a child that identifies as the opposite sex. This is not negligence or abuse.
Now if the parents are purposely doing this and the child does not identify as the opposite sex, then it can fall under abuse by: mental and/or emotional abuse.

unless thereâs neglect or abuse going on no just bc a kid wants to be gay with extra steps doesnât mean that theyâre being abused or neglected boys can wear dresses boys can paint their nails aint shit wrong with it
Is the child fed?
Does the child have clean clothes n good shoes that fit them?
Does the child live in a home where thereâs electricity,water, a/c&heat?
Does the child live in a home where thereâs a working stove working toilet working bathtub etc?
If the child identifies themselves as the opposite sex without pressure than I donât see a problem with it but if the mom wanted a girl so bad to where sheâs forcing this little boy to be like a girl n dressed like a girl then yes thatâs a problem
Also if the child isnât mentally sexually physically emotionally abused then cps doesnât have any reason to take the child away. Living conditions need to be clean and the answers need to be yes to each question above that I asked also abt being fed and the house stuff and the clothes/shoes thing also. There has to be enough of evidence to remove a child from a parents custody not just cause a child is wanting to be a girl when theyâre a boy.
I just hope in this case the mom isnât forcing the male child to be a female because she wanted a daughter instead
How old is the child

Ok this needs more information if the child is actually girl but says she is a boy and the mother still picks to put her in girl clothes thatâs nothing but a parenting matter. If the child is a boy and she forces him to wear girl clothes something needs to be done. If the child is a boy and says heâs a girl and the mother allows it then that is a parenting matter as well and is no-ones business

CPS cannot legally remove a child unless there is proof of neglect or abuse. There is not enough information given here to determine if that proof is there. But no, unless there is definitive proof of neglect or abuse, thatâs not grounds to remove a child from their home.
If it is the childâs choice and not urs then no then no they will not remover her

Seriously? Let a kid be a kid. They arenât in any harm. If they are loved and taken care of then mind your own business. Cps needs to worry about kids that are starved, beaten, mistreated, and in actual danger. If you have a problem with how someone raises their kids then take that up with yourself because no one but you cares for your opinion.

You would probably have to prove itâs forced and it would depend on the childâs age. Youâd need an unbiased 3rd party, like a child play psychologist, to have sessions with the child to find out if itâs forced or not. Itâll take more than one session probably.

Each state has different cps guidelines. I would reach out the the county the child resides and see if this qualifies for emotional abuse or neglect.

This question is really vague on the details such as how old is the child? Is this a parent asking for their own child?

Iâm not going to speak on rather the child should be removed or not. Or what a child should be wearing. But depending on the age I donât think a child should be making that kind of life decisions. Iâm not saying they shouldnât be able to decide at all or have an opinion but Iâd rather know that the child is fully aware of what he or she wants. Like I said it all depends on age. Iâm not saying a 5 year old canât play with barbies trucks or vise versus but what they want to be identified as, should be an adult decision when they are of age.

It depends on if itâs what they want. If the kid wants to dress and identify as she, than thatâs absolutely fine and CPS should piss off, but if they are being forced than CPS should be involved. My thing is, is when they are kids, you dress them. If itâs a boy dress them like a boy, if theyâre a girl dress them like a girl. They donât need to have the extra confusion. However, when they begin to get older, if they realize theyâre a boy that likes girl clothes, or vise versa then that is absolutely fine. Thatâs their choice, because at that point theyâre old enough to know the difference and make that choice themselves. And a lot people are saying let kids be kids and then they dress them in clothes opposite of their sex which would not be a problem if they were already mature enough to know the difference and if they actually are okay with that. Itâs like piercing a babyâs ears not knowing whether thatâs something theyâd actually be okay with when grown enough to make those decisions. But regardless, thatâs just my opinion. People will parent in the way they see best and that too is absolutely okay.
If it doesnât concern you then donât concern yourself with it. Schools and other mandated reporters would report it if it was in fact an issue or concern.

Leave them alone. There is no harm. That mother is loving her child no matter what, and that should be praised.
Now, Iâd you know the child DOES NOT like wearing dresses and is being forced to (told to you by the child) then just talk to the parents and ask them why they are doing that. And to consider the childâs feelings.

I would think it would depend on if it was what the child wanted. The end of the question is worded in a way to sound like the mother is forcing it, then it could be considered emotional abuse (Iâd think) but even then the child would most likely not be taken but required follow up visits and possibly therapy for the mother to address why she would be forcing the child to be a different gender that they didnât want to be.
However, if itâs what the child wants there should be nothing wrong with it.

No but they can remove a child for not dressing them / suppressing and denying according to the new equality acts parental rights donât go past a childâs gender.
Only if child is objecting, If child says NO I AM A BOY WHO WANTS TO BE A BOY and Mom is âforcingâ child to dress/act as a girl then thatâs psychological abuse and can very well end up in child being removed from said parent.
If child is identifying as a girl, and Mom is just supporting child in their choices then no. Thatâs a healthy, supportive and loving Mom.

Calling CPS because you donât agree with the idea of Trans is petty.
Only call CPS if the child is in danger, being neglected, or abused.
Ripping a child, especially a Trans child, and making them go into foster care is more traumatizing than a supportive parent.
