Themarked the first report of parents being investigated following Abbott's directive and an earlier nonbinding legal opinion by Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton labeling certain gender-confirming treatments as"child abuse." DFPS said it has opened nine investigations since Abbott's directive and Paxton's opinion.
