Why is that allowed? Don't y'all have an amendment against unreasonable search and seizure? Like, I could maybe understand if it was, say, suicide stemming from untreated gender dysphoria or something, but even that is an overreach. If someone suggested investigating all parents of children with ADHD (which has some environmental influences actually indicitive of an unsafe home) for child abuse, they'd be laughed out of the room. I guess we're still running with the "transgenderism happens when the parents give their son a doll" nonsense.

It probably is unconstitutional, on both privacy and 14th amendment grounds. It's being challenged in court, and I don't think anyone expects it to stand.

Don't worry about it, the state party platforms tend to just be a wishlist for the most radical elements of them. Provisions are almost never voted down when they are proposed, so whatever the craziest people in the room propose tends to wind up in them. Couple that with the fact that state parties can get away with a lot more crazy than the federal parties can and you have a recipe for lunacy.
