Conversion therapy should not be forced on anyone. Forcing someone against their will is abuse
 
If a child wants conversion therapy he or she should get it. You do whatever you can legally available to help your client the child. That being said it is not the right of the parent to demand that a minor go to conversion therapy. That would be abusive and not in my mandate as a helping professional. This is not about conversion therapy. This is about controlling parents and giving in further to such intolerance is not theraputic for anyone.
