Massachusetts family custody case October 29
Here's the part that gets buried: a Massachusetts judge has temporarily stopped authorities from putting a teenager on high doses of testosterone. That's the small win. The bigger picture is that the girl is already in state custody, and her parents and older brother are barred by court order from even reaching her. How it got there, per the family: they wouldn't identify their daughter as a boy, and they point to their Catholic faith as the reason. They also say a school counselor walked the girl through a social transition without telling them, then reported the household to the Department of Children and Families. The family is contesting all of it in court. Next hearing lands on October 29. So the state can take your kid, keep you away from her, and the only thing slowing the medical side is a temporary order. Aren't Democrats villains?

A devout Catholic family in Massachusetts locked in a huge legal fight to stop the state for transitioning their teen daughter to a boy without their consent. Lauren Green's got more on this story here in New York. What have you found out? Lauren, good morning. Hey, Bill. You know, Joseph and Arlene Kuzko haven't spoken to their daughter since the end of 2024 after the Department of Children and Family Services removed her from their home. Family claims it was because of their Catholic faith that would not allow them to affirm their daughter as a boy. An emotional Joseph Kutzko reading the birthday card his daughter Sophie gave him in October of 2024. Without you, I would have nothing. So wholeheartedly, fully, sincerely, I love you with no end. Less than three months later, child services removed Sophie from their home and accused them of abuse. The Kutzkos say their daughter's school, Algonquin Regional High School in Southboro Massachusetts exposed Sophie to a culture steeped in gender ideology and blame a school counselor for socially transitioning their daughter to becoming a boy without their knowledge or permission They claim the counselor contacted Child Services The school had no comment regarding the allegations You start with school policies that refuse to inform parents when a child rejects their sex and claims another identity. That's part of a system that starts everything down the rabbit hole. Now, in this case, the school then reported these parents to DCF. So there was a direct school to DCF pipeline in this case, as we have seen elsewhere. Now, DCF has assumed guardianship of their daughter. A permanent restraining order remains against Arlene and Joseph and Sophie's older brother. Her father and mother are distraught. Mama, I miss you. Please come home. Mama, I miss you. Please. I'm begging you, please. We reached out to DCF for comment, but they have not yet responded. Last Friday, a judge temporarily blocked the state from giving Sophia high dose testosterone. And the next court date is October 29th.
