The fundamental problem is that some really ####ty people are parents. If a kid is showing up at school requesting people change their name/gender identity / pronouns... I think you are likely to see 2 scenarios at home
A - Parents have a functional relationship with their child and are either already aware of, or has some level of unspoken awareness.
B - The child is at risk of abuse / abandonment for making those choices and the institution reporting the child is willing to be complacent in that abuse because of their own bias's and stereotyping.
