Widespread outrage is growing over a proposed bill currently moving through the California legislature, which experts say could be easily abused by traffickers by giving almost any unrelated individual the right to assume custody-like control over a child without the parents\u2019 knowledge or consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assembly Bill 495 (AB 495<\/a>), which has been named the \u201cFamily Preparedness Plan Act of 2025,\u201d was authored by Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez (San Fernando-D) and is being presented as a solution for illegal immigrant minors whose parents are detained to live with a \u201ccaregiver.\u201d But legal experts and parental rights advocates say that the bill is worded so loosely that it would give unvetted, non-related individuals broad powers in directing the care of children, to the point that the legislation could be widely abused by human traffickers and kidnappers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erin Friday, an attorney and president of Our Duty-USA, remarked<\/a> that the legislation is \u201ca child trafficker\u2019s and kidnapper\u2019s dream bill.\u201d She further detailed how AB 495 does not require the prospective \u201ccaregiver\u201d to undergo a background check or welfare check and requires no court oversight or verification of identity. \u201cAll you need is a piece of paper and some form of identification, with no obligation for the adult handing the child over to verify the identification, and presto, someone walks away with your child,\u201d she noted. The \u201cpiece of paper\u201d referenced by Friday is simply an affidavit that \u201callows for the transfer of parental rights without ever having to speak to the parent\u201d by simply checking a box saying that the potential \u201ccaregiver\u201d has \u201cadvised the parent(s)\u201d of the authorization or is \u201cunable to contact the parent(s).\u201d The affidavit also explicitly states that \u201cA parent\u2019s signature or a seal or signature from a court is not required.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday went on to point out that the bill is not narrowly tailored to only apply to children of illegal immigrants facing an emergency. As noted by the California Family Council, \u201cThe bill\u2019s language applies to any child for any reason, regardless of immigration status, and grants temporary legal rights to individuals with no blood relation, including people who may not even be known to the child\u2019s parents.\u201d The language of AB 495 states that a \u201ccaregiver\u201d can include a \u201cnonrelative extended family member,\u201d which is defined as someone who has an \u201cestablished familial relationship with a relative of the child, or a familial or mentoring relationship with the child\u201d who \u201cmay include, but are not limited to<\/em>, teachers, medical professionals, clergy, neighbors, and family friends.\u201d (Emphasis added.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re talking about a legal pathway for predators to operate in plain sight,\u201d Friday insisted. \u201cThis bill is not about immigration. It\u2019s about relinquishing parental rights to unvetted strangers under the guise of compassion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As detailed<\/a> by the Heritage Foundation\u2019s Laura Bryant Hanford, \u201ca mere affidavit grants unrelated, unvetted adults authority over a child\u2019s residency, custody, school enrollment, and medical care. The bill further guarantees that \u2018a person who relies on this affidavit has no obligation to make any further inquiry or investigation.\u2019\u201d This \u201cmedical care\u201d may include \u201cmental health treatment,\u201d which Hanford notes could include transgender hormone treatments, which California allowed for minors to receive without parental consent via SB 107, which the state passed in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastors like Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in California are issuing urgent warnings<\/a> to parents in the Golden State about the bill potentially passing. \u201cI have to tell you, if this bill passes, I am going to ask you to leave the state of California,\u201d he declared from the pulpit. \u201cYou got to get out. You got to run with your kids. You got to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gina Gleason, who serves as executive director of the Real Impact ministry at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, gave a stark picture of the possibility of AB 495\u2019s passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[Democrats] have a supermajority and Republicans are in the minority,\u201d she explained<\/a> during \u201cWashington Watch\u201d Tuesday. \u201cSo usually the Democrats get pretty much everything that they want unless we, as the church, as conservatives, stand up and speak up, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to do with this bill. If we make enough noise, if we get enough attention, they will back off. But it\u2019s a big fight, [an] uphill fight, and we don\u2019t always win, but we are determined because this bill is probably one of the worst bills that I have seen come across our state legislature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gleason went on to observe that the bill could be voted on by the end of August, which means that public opposition to it must be galvanized quickly in order for there to be a chance of it being defeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[W]e need to get the attention of our state legislators,\u201d she emphasized. \u201cOur state senators need to know that we are standing in opposition to this dangerous bill. The only way to really get their attention is to actually show up. \u2026 Several years ago, we came up against a bill that was going to legalize infanticide. \u2026 [A]bout 3,000 people [showed up], give or take. We made enough noise [and] got enough attention that that portion of the bill was pulled. Infanticide is not legal in California because I believe we stopped it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gleason urged the citizens of the Golden State to stand up against AB 495. \u201cWe will be there on Tuesday, August 19th at 1 p.m. at the west steps of the Capitol [in Sacramento], and we\u2019re calling people from all over California to join us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
