'I Want to See Them in Jail': California Takes Girl after Parents Oppose 'Gender Transition,' Moves to Put Her Up for Adoption

"They called us culturally unfit for raising our daughter in present-day America, meaning we refuse to mutilate and sterilize her. We were forced out of our house." -Alexandra Lyashchenko

Alexandra Lyashchenko, an Orthodox Christian and legal Ukrainian immigrant, lost custody of her then-15-year-old daughter in 2024 after rejecting her "sudden desire to transition."

Lyashchenko told NTD that California is "deciding that my daughter is going to be adopted out."   

Her family was "forced out of California" and is now "hiding in Florida" because California also wants her younger son, she added.

The far-left state has legally separated the girl and her parents, according to Lyashchenko.

She also said that she believes that her daughter was sexually assaulted in the foster system, noting that the girl was housed with boys due to her supposed "gender identity."

Lyashchenko has accused Dr. Michelle Sager, the director of psychiatry at Children's Legacy Center in Redding, California, of indoctrinating her daughter. She told NTD that she believes that her daughter's school "secretly indoctrinated" her as well.

Lyashchenko said that her daughter also used the online platform Discord, which hosts radical pro-LGBT servers and where the girl looked into "online psychology." The mother said that she suspects that Sager led her daughter to a "particular LGBT server" on Discord.

The girl eventually asked for consent to undergo testosterone, which her parents refused.

Testosterone and other transgender hormones are linked to serious and even life-threatening side effects, including cancer, stroke, and sterilization.

"They called us culturally unfit for raising our daughter in present-day America, meaning we refuse to mutilate and sterilize her," Lyashchenko said. She noted that she and her husband have "no custody conflict" and "fight unanimously" to protect the girl.

"We were forced out of our house," which they put on the market but "were not even able to sell," she said. Her family has also spent nearly $500,000 in legal fees.

Lyashchenko slammed what described as the "cult" that pushes child "gender transitions." "Police, medical, educational, mental, and law enforcement—every entity works with [child protective services]," she added.

Asked if she had a message for the people separating her from her daughter, Lyashchenko said, "I want to see them in jail."

"I want to testify and I would bring my daughter to testify and say what they've done to her," she stated.
