This story was originally published on PITT on May 4, 2022. We are re-publishing here in light of the recent mention in the State of the Union address.
What a horrible story. What an awful series of trauma and abuse for Sage to go through, and how awful for her family. I hope things are improved and continue to get better for them.
Quote: “ At her small school, as Sage informed me, all the girls were either bi, trans, or lesbian.“
I don’t blame the grandmother for not realizing the danger, but in retrospect this was a giant red flag. At the first sign that a child’s school is this kind of environment, get the hell out of there.
I hear you loud and clear - and am sickened by this tragic story. Hindsight is a luxury, and perhaps the simple suggestion to, 'get the hell out of there', might be relatively easy for some, and financially impossible for others. Sage's story is so incredibly upside down - that many who have not been reading one heartbreaking story after another on these pages, will not be aware that their 'kindness' in confirming absolutely makes them complicit in these tragedies.
Financial constraints are definitely a huge obstacle. On the other hand, it is easier to be proactive than to wait for child protective services to remove your child. If the child makes a complaint against the parent(s), the school will instigate child protection services to begin legal action. The school may already be grooming your child before you know anything. So if there is any hint the school, whether its the staff or the students, is involved with sex rejection, make what sacrifices you can to get the child out. There are organizations to help, if you reach out. The organization OurDutyUSA.org might be able to refer you to assistance. At the least, you might get help from other parents facing similar problems.
Yeah, that was actually the subject of my very first Substack post, that for all the attention on to the horror that Sage endured personally, far too little attention was being paid to the school environment that cultivated such horrors.
It's sickening to learn more about the extent of child trafficking going on world-wide. And we know that there are intersections with transgender issues that are not even mentioned by most news outlets. Before Epstein, most news outlets were not even reporting about many child trafficking crimes, nor were/are they reporting harms from trans ideology, let alone helping us see how they sometimes intersect.
Your story is an important one. Thanks for sharing it again.
May Sage find some healing, despite the horrendous trauma.
The laws in Maryland would still allow this type of miscarriage of justice.
Indeed, the MD legislative session is chock full of bills that mandate "gender affirming care" and protect activist doctors and establish teaching standards that mandate teaching "gender identity" and so forth.
At the State of the Union address NO Democrat applauded Sage. Shameful. Completely shameful.
I feel for the parents; I believe they really love and care for Sage; they have suffered in the hands of corrupt and heartless people of authority and I wish they are brought to justice in the court of law.
There are no words that can fairly describe the injustice, the devastation, and the near obliteration of soul this has caused your family. I have not been through anything this dramatic with my child, but feel the deep rage and utter agony.
Ironic that the sole person in this story that has Sage’s best interest in mind is the one being investigated.
I hope Sage is doing better. One thing I have learned through my own child’s experience is that you must leave room for hope, for miracles, for magic.
I hope the situation got better for Sage in the 3 years that have passed since her story was published. One day she will realize that her grandma and her husband deeply care about her, wherever she is.
Thank God sweet Sage was found, not once, but TWICE! What a miracle! HE must have great things in store for her!
On another note, ANY & EVERYONE INVOLVED in this *UTTER *MADNESS should be LOCKED AWAY BEHIND BARS for the REST of their lives! THEY are just as much PREDATORS as the traffickers are, & perhaps even MORE so!! 🤨
I remembered this watching the state of the union address I'm so glad she is doing better now, no longer dealing with abuse and trafficking and no longer gripped by delusion. Its a horrible situation she went through and I get she might be dealing with the consequences for a long time, and I wish this family the best. She is strong and has brighter days ahead of her im sure of that, I believe she will be successful and do great things
Is there an update on how she and her family are doing?

May Sage find some healing, despite the horrendous trauma.
And may you, as well.
peer pressure is awful
it does not help that teachers are telling children lies about biology
children need to be children and not be given a pick list of adult sexuality

So heartbreaking💔.
I feel for the parents; I believe they really love and care for Sage; they have suffered in the hands of corrupt and heartless people of authority and I wish they are brought to justice in the court of law.
May God continue to bless Sage and her family🙏

To the author-do you have an update on Sage?
🙏🙏🙏🩵🩵🩵
So happy Sage is doing much better!

The same people in charge of protecting our children outside the home are too often the very same ones that hate children. Changes are needed.
