Two girls — a 12-year-old and a 13-year-old — were found dead after officials said they tried to subway surf the J train in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.

Subway surfing is a very dangerous game where young people, mostly boys, climb onto the top of subway trains in order to ride on top for thrills and social media popularity.

‘We are struggling to process this immense grief, and we are turning to our community for help to give Zemfira the respectful and loving farewell she deserves.’

Sadly, the mother of Zemfira Mukhtarov, one of the girls killed, told WABC-TV that she found out her daughter had been killed when she saw a news report and noticed her daughter’s skateboard in the report.

“I was like, ‘That’s her skateboard, and that’s her Coach bag. That’s her,'” Mukhtarov’s sister said.

The bodies of the two girls were found at about 3 a.m. near the Marcy Avenue subway station. They were unconscious and unresponsive. They were declared dead at the scene soon afterward.

The family said in a GoFundMe donation page that their daughter was just two weeks away from her 13th birthday.

“No parent should ever have to face the pain of losing a child, and no child should lose their life in such a tragic way,” reads a statement on the GoFundMe page. “We are struggling to process this immense grief, and we are turning to our community for help to give Zemfira the respectful and loving farewell she deserves.”

Video obtained by the New York Post shows Mukhtarov standing precariously on a narrow beam above a subway racing below her.

Her mother said she returned home from work that evening to find that her daughter had snuck out, and her husband and other daughter were still sleeping.

The family of Mukhtarov raised over $24K for her funeral costs. They are originally from Ukraine.

In 2019, a law was passed in Colorado that banned counselors from attempting to change a minor client’s gender identity or sexual orientation, including behaviors or gender expressions. Effectively, they banned conversion therapy.

However, there is an exception.

“The counselor can offer assistance to a person undergoing gender transition. So, you can help them one direction, you just can’t help them the other direction,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck explains on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

And one woman is taking on the law, arguing that her free speech is being violated.

Kaley Chiles is a licensed counselor and Christian out of Colorado Springs who specializes in addiction, trauma, sexuality, gender dysphoria, and other mental health concerns. Her clients are those seeking religiously informed care that aligns with biblical teachings, especially on sexuality and gender.

Prior to 2019, Chiles was fine. She counseled clients, including minors, and helped many with gender dysphoria.

Now, her lawsuit has gone all the way to the Supreme Court.

“That’s the court case that the Supreme Court heard yesterday. … Is counseling freedom of speech? Can I not counsel based on my religious dictates? Colorado says no. This is going to be a huge case,” Glenn says.

“I believe that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained by God, and the family is central to the Creator’s plan for eternal destiny of his children. … I believe all human beings, male and female, are created in the image of God,” he continues.

“We have people in black robes deciding whether that can be said by me, by you, by a counselor, by a priest. In Colorado today, that counselor cannot sit down with that minor and say what I just said. It’s against the law in Colorado,” he says. “Is that the freedom that the left is preaching for?”
