Did California just legalize child abduction?

Parents must act swiftly before AB 495 takes effect on January 1, 2026.

By Kevin Finn

Imagine going to pick up your child from school and being told that he’d already been picked up earlier in the day.  The school doesn’t know who the person was that took your child with him, but he filled out the state-required paperwork, and so the school was required to release your child into his custody.  The police can’t help because it was all legal.

This situation is now entirely plausible in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 495 into law on October 12.  This bill has sparked outrage among conservatives, parental rights advocates, and religious leaders, as it clearly endangers children and undermines God-given parental authority.  This legislation was ostensibly framed as a safeguard for immigrant families, but it opens dangerous loopholes that could facilitate child-trafficking and abuse.  It demands urgent action from parents and concerned citizens.

AB 495 expands the use of the Caregiver’s Authorization Affidavit, which allows any adult claiming kinship “within the fifth degree” to make medical and educational decisions for a child without parental consent or verification.  The California Family Council notes that this affidavit requires no notarization or background checks, meaning any stranger could easily claim to be a relative, access a child, and even enroll him in another school.  more

  2. “…make medical and educational decisions for a child without parental consent or verification.”

    …so put them in classes that groom them for pedos, then take them for abortions to destroy the evidence…

  3. Not if you consider California Lizard People Politicians believe children are wards of the state. It’s a joke of a bill and I’m no attorney but I can’t see this bill surviving a challenge. That dumb shit retarded, poor excuse for a man, simp, Gov of ours just signed a shit load of legislation. None of it California residents had any say in. You know the one bill he vetoed? Increased funds for wild fires and wild fire prevention. He claims we can’t afford it. While he’s spending tons of many on an illegal unconstitutional gerrymandering of our voter districts. The guys a DFL.

  8. He might be a guppy. But if half the stuff I’ve read is true he belongs in front of a firing squad. He’s as traitorous as they get. He was probably low hanging fruit. I sure wish they’d get after the rest of them.

  11. Newsom just approved and facilitated CHILD ABDUCTION.

    This CA legislation will be challenged and ultimately negated. HOWEVER, in the meantime, all children in the CA public school system are in serious danger.

    I was a CA teacher–I cannot imagine having to bow to the requirement of releasing a child to someone I’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, merely on the strength of an unsigned/unapproved-by-a-parent piece of paper which has been downloaded from the internet.

  14. @Brad–

    I wouldn’t either, but then one must be prepared to be fired.

    I hope and pray many CA teachers will stand up to condemn this, and refuse to comply. TRUE teachers, who care for children.

  17. You hand your children over to The Regime day camp. And this is what worries you?

    We need the “camps”. And Big Beautiful Boxcars. Full, so full you won’t belive it. Maybe just not filled the way voaters squeal.

  18. Sounds to me like California rather than Venezuela needs a “regime change.”
    CIA/FBI/NSA should look into that – pronto.

    Of course the CIA/FBI/NSA all facilitate and participate in pedophilia.

  19. Maine guv Janet Mills got this done last year
    Anyone can bring a child to the state for mutilation, I mean “trans care”, and the parents can’t get the kid back if they don’t want their kid to be hurt like that
