WASHINGTON TO ALLOW CHILDREN TO BE LEGALLY TAKEN FROM PARENTS IF THEY WON'T CONSENT TO GENDER TRANSITION

Washington state passed a bill allowing children to legally be taken away from their parents for not consenting to gender transition procedures on their child.

According to Senate Bill 5599, shelters could contact the Department of Children, Youth, and Families instead of parents for minors seeking reproductive health services or gender-affirming care.

The proposal would pave the way for more of a "compelling reason" to conceal a child who seeks sex change operations or reproductive health services such as abortion.

Democratic state Rep. Tana Senn praised the bill's passing, saying she supports children who believe they belong in a different body than they were born.  READ MORE AT

Holtec International will delay the release of radioactive water from reactors at the shuttered Indian Point nuclear power plant into the Hudson River but insists it has state and federal permission to do so.

Holtec sent a letter to state officials overseeing Indian Point’s decommissioning late Thursday saying the company will hold off on plans to release the first batch of one million gallons of radiological water into the river next month.

The delay will give the company and federal regulatory officials time to allay public fears about the discharge, the letter added. READ MORE AT Holtec plans to dump radiological water into Hudson, has fed approval (lohud.com)
