Democrats’ Chilling Assault on Parental Rights: Newsom’s AB 495 Opens Door to Child Kidnapping and Abuse

In a meme-laden X post that’s gone viral (Above) the poster blasts California Governor Gavin Newsom as the devil incarnate for signing what critics call the “Legalized Child Kidnapping Bill”—AB 495. The image shows Newsom gazing into a mirror, his reflection a horned demon, with the caption “Gavin Newsom Just signed evil Legislation….” The post details how this new law, the Family Preparedness Plan Act of 2025, allows any adult—relative or not—to fill out a single-page form granting them sweeping authority over a child, including living arrangements, school enrollment, and medical decisions, all without parental consent or signature in many cases. No background checks, no fingerprinting, no court oversight—just a form and an ID, and your kid could be whisked away. Conservatives are sounding the alarm: This is a Democrat-engineered recipe for disaster, empowering predators, traffickers, and abusers to exploit children under the guise of “protection,” while stripping parents of their God-given rights.
Gavin Newsom has signed AB 495, the monstrous ‘legalized kidnapping’ bill.

And with Newsom’s signature, it’s now law in the Golden State, proving once again that liberals will stop at nothing to undermine the family unit and enable the sexual exploitation of America’s youth. AB 495, framed by Democrats as a lifeline for immigrant families facing deportation, applies to all California children, creating a one-size-fits-all loophole that conservatives warn will lead to widespread abuse. The bill expands the Caregiver’s Authorization Affidavit, allowing non-relatives like distant acquaintances or even strangers to assume “care, custody, and control” with minimal verification. As Fox News reported, critics argue it “creates loopholes for non-family caregivers without sufficient safeguards,” potentially handing over kids to unqualified or malicious individuals without notifying parents Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), a champion of parental rights, slammed the bill even after amendments, noting it still risks eroding family authority and inviting exploitation. Right-wing commentators see this as part of Newsom’s radical agenda, akin to his support for transgender policies that let schools hide gender transitions from parents—a move conservatives dub “state-sponsored grooming.
Newsom the Gaslighter. He signed AB 495 & he claims it protects parents’ rights. That’s a lie. This bill erases parents and puts kids at risk.

This isn’t hyperbole; it’s a pattern of Democrat policies that prioritize ideology over safety, opening doors for perverts to prey on the innocent. Look at AB 665, signed by Newsom in 2023, which allows children as young as 12 to consent to mental health treatment, including residential shelter services, without parental knowledge or consent. Conservatives labeled it “state-sanctioned kidnapping,” arguing it enables counselors and activists to isolate kids from their families, potentially funneling them into abusive situations. The Blaze reported that critics feared it would “allow predators to take advantage of vulnerable children,” with no safeguards against trafficking or sexual abuse. And they were right—similar laws have led to horror stories where kids are removed from loving homes based on ideological biases, often tied to gender identity disputes.Democrats’ enthusiasm for these bills reveals a deeper contempt for traditional family structures, conservatives charge. In California, Newsom’s administration has pushed legislation like AB 1955, which bars schools from notifying parents about a child’s gender identity change, effectively colluding with radical activists to keep secrets that could endanger kids.

American Thinker called it “government overreach at its worst,” enabling groomers in schools to manipulate impressionable youth without accountability. The result? A spike in reports of sexual abuse in environments where boundaries are blurred. Fox News highlighted cases where transgender policies in schools led to assaults in bathrooms and locker rooms, with Democrats defending the rights of “affirming” adults over the safety of girls.This one-page form in AB 495 is the ultimate enabler for kidnappers and abusers. Imagine a predator filling out the affidavit, claiming a parent is “unable to contact”—a term so vague it could mean anything from a delayed phone call to a fabricated emergency. No vetting, no follow-up, and the child is theirs for the taking. Breitbart has warned that such laws are “trafficker’s dreams,” allowing bad actors to bypass courts and background checks.
In a state already plagued by human trafficking—California ranks among the top for child sex exploitation, per the FBI— this bill is like handing out keys to the candy store. Conservatives point to the Loudoun County scandal, where a “gender-fluid” boy raped a girl in a school bathroom under Democrat-backed inclusive policies, then was transferred to assault another. The Daily Wire exposed the cover-up, showing how liberals prioritize wokeness over justice. And Democrats are all for it. Newsom’s office dismissed criticisms as “disgusting misinformation,” but actions speak louder: He vetoed bills that would protect children from sex offenders while signing this one. The Washington Times reported on Newsom’s pattern of radicalism, from allowing minors to access puberty blockers without parents to this guardianship giveaway.
Kamala Harris, as California’s AG, set the tone by cracking down on parental rights groups while ignoring trafficking rings. National Review has blasted this as the left’s war on the family, using state power to indoctrinate and control the next generation.The risks are crystal clear: Sexual abuse skyrockets when safeguards crumble. In blue states with similar laws, reports of child exploitation have surged. Fox News covered a Wisconsin case where a gender-neutral bathroom policy led to a sexual assault, with the district scrambling to reverse course after public outcry. Breitbart documented UK parallels, where transgender-inclusive policies resulted in predators accessing women’s prisons and assaulting inmates— a preview of what’s coming if Democrats have their way. And in California, with its open borders welcoming unvetted migrants, AB 495 could let illegal aliens or gang members claim guardianship with a form, turning the state into a pedophile paradise.
WATCH: CA State Asm. Carl DeMaio speaks in opposition to AB 495 as “a human traffickers dream”— a bill that lets any stranger to take custody of a minor child without parents’ consent!

Conservatives are fighting back. Virginia AG Jason Miyares launched investigations into similar policies, while red states like Florida ban gender-affirming care for minors and mandate parental notification. But in Democrat strongholds, the push continues, fueled by special interests like Planned Parenthood and LGBTQ activists who see parents as obstacles. The Blaze’s Glenn Beck called it “evil,” arguing it’s part of a Marxist plot to sever family ties and mold children into state loyalists. This is a wake-up call for America. Democrats’ obsession with “equity” is a thin veil for control, endangering our kids for political points. As the X post warns, Newsom’s “evil legislation” is a green light for kidnappings and abuse. Parents must rise up, vote out these radicals, and reclaim their rights before it’s too late. Your child’s safety depends on it.
