Yeah, Georgia, so this case centers on Joseph and Arlene Kutzko of Northborough, Massachusetts, and their daughter, Sophie.
So back in December of 2024, when Sophie was still just 15, the state's Department of Children and Families removed her from her home, and her parents say that DCF took custody of their daughter, and they then accused them of abuse because they wouldn't refer to her with male pronouns or a male name.
Now, the Kutzkows are devout Catholics, and they have a strong religious conviction that this would be condoning a grave sin.
And they also believe that it would be destructive for their daughter if they were to do that.
Well, according to them, it started with their local high school.
So they say that Sophie was placed in counseling sessions at Algonquin Regional High School with the school counselor and without her parents' knowledge or consent.
And the Kutzko say they were told that Sophie was simply getting extra math help after school.
And during that time, the school's counselor exposed her to gender identity ideology and other teachings that conflicted with their Catholic beliefs.
And the school actually began helping her socially transition, again, without her parents' knowledge.
Now, according to Bernadette Broyles of the Child and Parental Rights Campaign,
who is acting as the Kutzko's family attorney.
When they refused to start treating Sophie as a boy, the school then reported them to DCF.
So the family says that things escalated very quickly from there.
At that point, a physical abuse allegation was lodged against Joseph Kutzko, but that was investigated and deemed to be unfounded.
And yet a permanent restraining order was still issued against the family.
And DCF cut off all contact between the family and Sophie entirely.
And the Kutzko say they have not been allowed to see or speak to their daughter since January of 2025.
Yeah, that's right.
So in that same Fox News report, in that interview, Joseph Kutzko became emotional while reading a birthday card that he says that Sophie gave him in October of 2024, so less than three months before the date that the state removed her from the family's home.
The Kutskos also stress that they did not reject Sophie.
