An Ohio child welfare agency created a database tracking the sexual orientation and transgender identity of children as young as 5

The Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS) created a database tracking the sexual orientation, transgender identity and pronouns of children that interacted with the child welfare system in Ohio .

The document tracked if children were “transgender or gender diverse,” labeling them as pansexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, straight, or “questioning” their sexual orientation.

Nearly half the children in the confidential spreadsheet were listed as living outside of the foster care system in their “own home” with their parents.

The DCNF has written an in-depth report on the research interventions developed by the QIC-LGBTQ2S, which are being pushed by the Biden-Harris administration.

In the report, the Cuyahoga County DFCS staff noted if children had LGTBQ “affirming” parents or needed assistance to obtain sex change medications.

Kruse did not respond to the DCNF ’s requests for comment.

“Emotional harm” is included in the Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act definition of child abuse and neglect.

Some transgender activists believe that rejecting a child’s gender confusion causes emotional harm and is a form of abuse.

In Ohio , after a report of suspected abuse or neglect is made, a CPS investigator will interview the child and family and determine if the child is at risk for abuse.
