The parents of a teenager who starved to death alone in emergency accommodation believe that multiple agencies failed in their care.
Their only child was able to keep them at a distance on the grounds they did not accept the teen was transgender – an identity the parents say the teen later abandoned.
However, the couple allege that while attentive to their child's gender identity, various care professionals failed to adequately respond to the threat from a long-standing eating disorder.
The New Zealand agencies were so fixated on gender – that the poor girl was trans – that they ignored the anorexia that killed her, while keeping the parents away. A grim casualty of the gender cult…
When they arrived at the motel, there was a stench.
Vanessa was lying in bed with her laptop propped up on her lap, dead two days.
"At the scene, the Police corrected us when we used Vanessa's name and insisted on using a male name and pronouns," remembers Catherine.
"I was so distressed by this."
