Catholic parents fighting for custody of their trans teen whose school helped to transition without their knowledge: report

Catholic parents in Massachusetts are fighting for custody of their trans teen whom they say authorities illegally snatched from their care for secret gender-affirming treatments.

Joseph and Arlene Kutzko are completely cut off from their 17-year-old daughter Sophie, whom child protective services removed from their care in 2024 allegedly because they would not recognize the biological female as a boy, the couple told Fox’s Lighthouse Faith podcast.

Staff at Sophie’s high school in the town of Northborough exposed their daughter to “LGBTQ teachings in topics that conflict with our Catholic beliefs” and eventually counseled her on her own gender transition, the parents claimed.

The couple said they had no idea what was happening until the school alerted state child protective services, which took Sophie from their care.

“We didn’t find out until after Sophie was removed. It came on like a tornado,” Joseph Kutzko said.

The Kutzkos have since found support from Child and Parental Rights Campaign, a conservative advocacy group.

They are fighting to keep Sophie from receiving high-dose testosterone, which doesn’t qualify as “ordinary” medical care and thus requires the consent of the parents or permission from the court, argued Child and Parental Rights Campaign attorney Vernadette Broyless, who spoke with the parents on the Lighthouse podcast.

“We are actively fighting in court to keep them from really poisoning this young lady with testosterone,” Broyless said.

The parents have not been found guilty of child abuse, despite claims of physical abuse at home — for which Joseph Kutzco was arrested. The claims have since been disproven, according to the Fox podcast.

Yet the couple isn’t even allowed to speak with their child — which is “entirely the choice of this minor child,” Broyless said.

I would certainly never advocate anything unlawful, though it seems clear to me that seeking remedy through the courts is not going to help. Clown World.

The Staff are Grooming children for their own use , arrest them . Pedophiles would hang around outside schools but now the democrats hire them

Each and every school official would need to have 24-hour protection. The Beekeeper treatment would be in full force.

Massachusetts is broken beyond repair.

My advice - let her go, cut off all ties and be done with it.

A few months it will be 18 and there is *nothing* they can do about it.

Is there any reason, other than poverty or ill health, that should keep decent and patriotic American to remain in New England, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota, California, Oregon, and Washington?

The State groomed and took their daughter. The same state where the majority wants to let a woman who murdered her 3 children set free.

Some people say family but that would not be enough for me. One child in California has to come to me because I told them I will never set foot there.

how long have the parents known their kid was mentally ill? Just curious.

I think that the immorality and lawlessness we are seeing is just the beginning of what will become the norm. There is a reason that America is not noted in biblical end times.

You can thank the profit-motivated mental “health” profession for inventing this phony gender confusion disorder. You can also thank the medical establishment for inventing these destructive mutilating surgeries and lunatic hormone “therapies.” Mengele would be proud. He is smiling in Hell.

“secret gender-affirming treatments”

~~~~~
Deliberate mutilation of a child is not “affirming” anything but demonic influence. r

Let us know how that "fighting in court" works out. Personally I would be looking to string up all of those involved. Without the courts permission.

This is really better addressed via the second amendment.

The left has forced us into this position. The ballot box and the courts are no longer any help to us.

This is the very kind of horrific atrocity that approaches the pure evil committed by Doktor Josef Mengele at Auschwitz in WW II when he “experimented “ with Jewish kids. The procedures here are just as involuntary, but covered by social workers’ euphemisms. All the girl had to do was express a possible interest in being Mengelized into a fake boy and she was off to the races, genuine consent be damned.
