Catholic Family Battles for Custody of Trans Teen After School Allegedly Aided Transition Without Consent
The family says a school counselor’s report led to state custody, and a judge later blocked high-dose testosterone treatment.
- On Friday, September 11, a Massachusetts judge temporarily blocked the state from administering high-dose testosterone to 17-year-old Sophie, amid an ongoing custody dispute between her parents, Joseph and Arlene Kutzko, and DCF.
- Algonquin Regional High School staff allegedly socially transitioned Sophie without informing the Kutzkos; a school counsellor reported the family to DCF after the parents objected on religious grounds.
- The parents allege Sophie has been denied contact and placed on psychiatric medication, but these claims remain unverified because Massachusetts Juvenile Court proceedings and DCF files are confidential.
- Sophie remains in Massachusetts state custody, having not spoken to her parents since December 2024, with the next hearing scheduled for October 29, 2026.
- Similar custody disputes involving parental rights and gender identity have reached courts; the Supreme Court declined the Indiana-based Coxes' appeal in March 2024, and the First Circuit rejected a constitutional challenge in Foote v Ludlow School Committee in February 2025.
