Ep. 85 - They're Coming For Your Parental Rights - Here's What You Need To Know
Episode 85
In this urgent episode, Christy-Faith asks a sobering question: who really has authority over our children—parents or the state? From California’s AB 495 and SB 107 to historic examples of governments undermining family bonds, she reveals how quickly parental rights can erode when lawmakers overreach.
You’ll hear why secure attachment to parents is critical for healthy child development, what history warns us about state control, and what you can do today to protect your family’s freedom.
Because at the end of the day, strong families are society’s greatest defense—and no law should erode that bond.
