A transgender boy ran away from home after his school told his grandmother that he wanted to use male pronouns. He was sex trafficked to Maryland, where he was rescued by law enforcement. The grandmother claims the Maryland-based lawyer representing the boy refrained from telling him that his parents had come to get her in order to intentionally mislead him, deprived him of mail from his parents while he was placed in a group home for juvenile boys and also coerced him to lie to the juvenile court about parental abuse. The attorney is employed by the State of Maryland as an assistant public defender, she is barred only in Maryland, and she only met with him in Maryland and the virtual meetings and appearances during the course of her representation of him took place on networks established by the Maryland Public Defender’s Office or the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.
