A grieving California mom says her severely depressed teen daughter was encouraged to leave her family, go into foster care, and begin taking cross-sex hormones, after which she developed unbearable pain and killed herself by lying down across the tracks in front of a train.

Abigail Martinez, 53, alleged that school staff at Arcadia High School—without her knowledge or consent—encouraged her daughter Yaeli to join an LGBT club that met at the school during lunchtime.
