some more information on the story

https://www.wbur.org/news/2026/09/17/southborough-parents-child-gender-transition-court-records-assault-charges

“Court filings and statements from school officials suggest the child was removed from the parents’ custody following allegations of a violent incident. Yet Joseph and Arlene Kutzko, who first told their side of the story on a Fox News podcast posted Sept. 13, have sought to focus attention on the issue of parental rights.”

...

“Joseph Kutzko was accused of punching and threatening his then-15-year-old child at the family home on Jan. 28, 2025, records from Westborough District Court show. A Southborough police detective wrote that Kutzko punched the victim in the shoulder and pulled them by their hair. Kutzko later allegedly threatened to kill the victim “for not singing in tune during a birthday celebration,” according to court records.

Kutzko was arrested the next day and pleaded not guilty. In setting bail, the judge referred to three prior restraining orders against Kutzko, one of which is permanent. She did not say whether any are tied to this case.

The child’s mother, Arlene Kutzko, was charged with witness intimidation after allegedly pressuring the child to “tell the school that she was exaggerating and being stupid.””

One of that addresses the fact that the state thinks they can Frankenstein a minor child and behind the back of the parents.

Not enough.

“Joseph Kutzko was accused of punching and threatening his then-15-year-old child at the family home on Jan. 28, 2025, records from Westborough District Court show.
A Southborough police detective wrote that Kutzko punched the victim in the shoulder and pulled them by their hair. Kutzko later allegedly threatened to kill the victim “for not singing in tune during a birthday celebration,” according to court records.
Kutzko was arrested the next day and pleaded not guilty. In setting bail, the judge referred to three prior restraining orders against Kutzko, one of which is permanent. She did not say whether any are tied to this case.

An attorney for the Kutzkos said on the same Fox podcast that there was no supporting evidence for physical or sexual abuse allegations and that the child was assisted by an “unknown” adult to file the requests for restraining orders.

“The only thing that's left is an allegation of neglect that has never been described,” said Vernadette Broyles, president of the Child & Parental Rights Campaign, a group helping parents fight policies that support transgender rights. “The only thing that we can surmise with the neglect [charge] is that they are refusing to transition their daughter.”

Some of the court records are sealed or have been impounded because they involve a juvenile.

Broyles told the Herald the public officials' justification was invalid, since a juvenile court ruled last year that the abuse accusations against the parents were unfounded.“It’s very dishonest, because there are no standing charges against them,” said Broyles - https://www.christianpost.com/news/catholic-parents-sue-massachusetts-for-custody-of-daughter.html
Meanwhile,

A Southborough police detective wrote that Kutzko punched the victim in the shoulder and pulled them by their hair.

We were told "modern art" was art, and we were to appreciate it. Then demonic jungle songs were also music and we were to appreciate it. Then homosexual relations were holy and healthy and we were to appreciate it. And now that "them" can refer to a singular persons, and we are to use and sanction such confusion.
