A devout Catholic couple in Massachusetts said the state took custody of their teenage daughter after they refused to affirm her as a boy.
Joseph and Arlene Kutzko said they have been fighting in court for nearly two years after their minor teen daughter Sophie was taken away from them because they would not recognize the child as a boy.
In December 2024, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) took Sophie away and is now beginning the process of medically transitioning her with testosterone.
The distraught parents alleged that the counselors at Algonquin Regional High School secretly began the process of socially transitioning their daughter without their permission.
A restraining order was lodged against the parents with allegations of abuse.
The DCF put the teen girl in a boys’ dormitory, put her on psychiatric drugs, and gave her birth control.
The couple has not spoken to their daughter Sophie, who is now 17 years old, in nearly two years.
