The Truth About California Assembly Bill 495: A Parent's Worst Nightmare

We examine California Assembly Bill 495, a controversial piece of legislation that critics call "a child trafficker's and kidnapper's dream bill." • AB-495 allows "non-relative extended family members" to assume control of children through a one-page affidavit • The bill requires no court review, notarization, or parental consent for these guardianship transfers • Legal experts warn the bill applies to ANY child, not just those affected by immigration enforcement • Under this bill, strangers could authorize medical treatments and enroll children in different schools • Schools and medical providers would face no liability for accepting these unverified guardianship claims • Pastor Jack Hibbs urges California families to leave the state if the bill passes • Critics argue the bill eliminates crucial safeguards like background checks and home visits • The bill's vague language creates dangerous loopholes beyond its stated immigration-related purpose • ‪@CaliforniaFamilyCouncil‬ and advocacy groups plan August 19th protest at the Capitol in Sacramento (cc'‪@sandiegoda‬ ) Join the fight to protect children's safety and parental rights. Call your state senator and urge a no vote on AB-495, share information on social media, and alert your community about this dangerous legislation.
