A California judge has permanently stripped parental rights from Texas father Jeffrey Younger over his refusal to allow his 12-year-old son to be chemically and surgically castrated at the wish of the boy’s mom.

“I lost all parental rights to my sons. Goodbye, boys,” Younger wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

“Perhaps, we will meet when you are adults. California Judge [Mark] Juhas gave my ex-wife authority to castrate my son, James,” Younger wrote.

The ruling may be the end of a battle spanning back to at least 2018. Despite Younger and his twin sons living in Texas, the state supreme court allowed his wife to take the kids to California.
