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
The Kutzkos allege a counselor at Algonquin Regional High School had already begun socially transitioning Sophie without their knowledge before reporting the family to child services. The school did not comment to Fox News on the allegation.

"You start with school policies that refuse to inform parents when a child rejects their sex and claims another identity," Broyles told Fox News, describing what she called a direct "school to DCF pipeline."
This is madness. I often wonder why the Lord didn’t bless my wife and me with children, and then I read stories like this and realize He spared me from rotting in prison. The left are outright psychopaths.
I would never choose to bring up a child in Massachusetts.
Parental Rights Battle Erupts as State Seeks to Transition Teen Girl
It's unbelievable! You have to homeschool today if you live in the Norteast.
This is insane. Who but her parents would know better than what their girl is? Seems to me that school systems should be completely left out of situations like this. What does the girl herself think about this?
Was the “school” a public high school? I wonder if the outcome would have been different in a Catholic high school.
So the state took their girl from them. The nightmare has become real
Probably not...
Ten tips for Catholic schools working with transgender students link
"For instance, with the parents who wanted their child to be referred to as a girl, Ruiz recalls the school asking the parents, “Do you really want to publicize ‘Hey, this is a girl?’ Because we don’t do this for any other student. We don’t go to their teachers and say ‘Hey, this is a male student, this is a female student.’ We’re worried about the kind of distress that may bring.”
"9. Making changes to support transgender students helps everyone."
Ma. has become another Minnesota.
Can the US DOJ get involved for civil rights violations?
Right now this is the topic on our local talk radio show. Evidently, the MA. media refuses to report this story and the radio host, Jeff Kuhner, wants Mike Minogue the Republican running for governor to make this an issue. The local media here is more interested in outing the hold out juror.
