Colorado Father Fights To Keep Government From Sterilizing His 14-Year-Old Son
After raising concerns about his then-13-year-old son taking puberty blockers and starting on a path to irreversible, experimental, and life-long medical interventions to “transition” into a girl, the Colorado government stripped father Robert Cameron of all rights to protect his child.
Colorado was able to do that because the child’s mother and Cameron’s ex-wife, Nancy Drake, used Colorado’s “affirmation only” legal structure to wage a war against Cameron through the courts. Drake, who joined forces with an activist therapist, has been able to use government force to push the now-14-year-old boy into the transition interventions which, if pursued in full, have the power to sterilize, reduce brain development, and cause bone density issues, among a host of other gruesome effects.
“My child is more important to me than whatever the court system may do to me. If my child needs to be saved, it’s my job as a parent to save him, and he needs to be saved right now. He needs to be saved from predation and manipulation,” Cameron told The Federalist. “I haven’t slept well in forever because I’m afraid for my child. I also see the adults preying on this child’s innocence. This all falls under the sexualization of children that we are engaging in as a society. That’s absolutely appalling. And I’m not even talking about the medical experiments we’re doing on children.”
In order to protect the identity of the minor child, The Federalist has given his parents pseudonyms, and removed other information that could lead to identifying him.
Cameron’s primary goal is to have his son be able to wait until he is 18 to make the decision, but Drake, who appears to have trigger-happy, extraordinarily litigious lawyers behind her, need the transition to start now, no questions asked — literally.
Drake, an academic in a left-wing community in Colorado with whom Cameron shares joint custody, successfully got the state of Colorado to block Cameron’s oversight over their son’s medical treatment or even speak to him about transgenderism, using suicide statistics among those confused about their gender as the primary reason why. Despite the fact that evidence shows pediatric gender transition does not reduce rates of suicide, the more curious fact is that Cameron’s son has never been suicidal. Cameron confirmed that to The Federalist, and the arbitrator admits that fact in court documents reviewed by The Federalist.
Even more, while the court stripped Cameron of his rights over his son’s treatment and allowed the medical transition of a minor, the child also expressed doubts about whether he even wanted to go through with a transition — something that, to most objective medical professionals, would have raised a red flag about going through with the interventions at all.
“I’m scared for my son. I can’t talk to my son about what’s going through his head. That’s unacceptable — the state can’t do that. That’s just not okay,” Cameron said. “I should be able to talk my son about anything. Is he gonna like it? Some of it, he will. Some of it, he won’t. I have a very good relationship with all my kids. I am precluded by a court order from speaking to my son about the subject of transgenderism.”
Drake did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment, but within minutes of the request being sent, she threatened Cameron with calling Child Protective Services if he spoke to the media, claiming doing so means that he “intended [their son] to be harmed” and that it is “proof of child abuse.”
Some weeks ago, Drake also attempted to stop Cameron’s ability to speak to pretty much anyone by requesting a gag order on top of the others already issued that would encompass “friends … anyone in our social circle … activists, and … the media,” claiming it puts their children (their son is one of two twins, the other, a girl) in “physical, medical, and psychological danger,” according to an email sent to the case arbitrator reviewed by The Federalist.
Drake threatened Cameron’s ability to have parenting time with their children at all. As of press time, the request for the gag order has been rescinded.
