The Maya Files: How A Progressive California Community Abused An Immigrant Family Over Gender
A special free edition of the podcast
“Ellie” is a Ukrainian immigrant. Her family was torn apart by Shasta County Child Welfare Services in 2024 because she refused to medicalize her minor child. Now she says the local family court system is stalling while Shasta County keeps them on a nationwide list of child abusers. Their harrowing story was recently profiled by Reduxx. Ellie wants our help bringing attention to a clear case of ideology-driven abuse of her family’s civil rights by a branch of local government that is almost never held accountable — or even discussed at all.
