"James and Jude did NOT have a victory in court today. Judge Mary Brown has condemned James and Jude to a life of therapy, confusion, and abuse without even having a hearing. There are no other words for what has happened today. She has forced James to live as "Luna" in a school surrounded by teachers and therapists who do not acknowledge that he has said multiple times to multiple people (without Jeff around) that he wants to be a boy and hates being forced to be a girl. She has forced Jude into a stressful existence of constant lies and misery as he watches his brother get destroyed before him without any hope for an end to this madness. Anne won this battle without even a hearing. The time for passive actions must end TODAY! We call upon all SaveJames supporters to join us to get the attention of our conservative leaders on every social media platform possible..." -Jeffrey Younger-Facebook

LifeSiteNews reports without a proper hearing, a Dallas judge on Monday took away Jeffrey Younger's claim to his son's medical, psychological, and psychiatric care, giving that power solely to James' mother, Dr. Anne Georgulas.

As CBN News has extensively reported, little James is in the middle of a legal battle between his parents that made national headlines in 2019 after it was revealed the boy's mother intended to publicly gender-transition him into a girl against the father's wishes. Even the eight-year-old boy has reportedly been conflicted about the transition, too.

The #SaveJamesYounger hashtag went viral on Twitter last year as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), US Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), Gov. Greg Abbott, and Attorney General Ken Paxton, commented on the young boy's case.

Monday's ruling by Judge Mary Brown reverses Judge Kim Cooks' October 2019 ruling that included both parents when making joint medical decisions for James and his brother Jude.

Georgulas now has the sole authority to enroll James in school as a girl named "Luna" and have him undergo transgender medical procedures. Court documents show Younger wanted to take both boys out of public school and homeschool them instead, according to LifeSiteNews. 

Georgulas' attorneys filed a motion to have Judge Cooks replaced in November of last year after Cooks shared a Facebook post in which she shared an article from The Dallas Morning News, writing: "The governor nor any legislature (sic) had any influence on the Court's Decision."

Georgulas' motion was granted and Cooks was removed from the case in December.

According to the "Save James" Facebook page, a page ran by individuals interested in the case, both Younger, Georgulas, and the boys will be required to attend family counseling that will cost Younger $5,000 a month, in addition to a $10,000 retainer by a counselor. Even though Younger will be required to pay for the counseling, he will not have a say in the counselor's selection.

Brown's ruling was made without the hearing that had been scheduled for Monday. The judge gave no explanation as to why she issued the order without a hearing. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here

A special evidentiary hearing is scheduled for September to review Brown's current orders, according to the "Save James" Facebook page.
