Governments should be in the business of protecting its citizens – especially children–, but in the case of the Allegheny County Council they have done the exact opposite. By a vote of 13-2 the Democrat-controlled county council approved a ban that will cause minors with unwanted feelings or confusion to remain with those feelings and confusion. The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide children’s advocacy group, believes parents should have the right and children should have the opportunity to seek the help they need from a competent mental health provider. This new ordinance prevents both! In essence all licensed therapists are banned from helping these children address the underlying issues causing their distress.
