Ellen Van Kuren is the mother of transsexual student Hailey Van Kuren, who is more supportive of Hailey despite being devastated of her emotional turmoil due to Ellen and her husband Mark disagreeing and Ellen still speaking to Hailey like she's cisgender.

When Mark was mauled in his genitals, Hailey's transition was found out and the detectives knew the assault was motivated by the family conflicts. Hailey's transgender counselor, Jackie Blaine, was revealed to be the assailant, and her trial finally led to Mark supporting Hailey, with Jackie receiving leniency in her sentencing.
