Parents in Switzerland have vowed to continue with a legal battle after social services took away their 16-year-old daughter.

As previously reported by ET, the girl – who remains unnamed to protect her identity – was removed from her family in Switzerland because her parents refused to support her ‘gender transition’.

According to the family’s legal team, the girl has been separated from her parents, who live in Geneva, for more than a year as the legal case has been making its way through the Swiss courts.

The unnamed parents discovered their daughter’s gender confusion in 2021 following other mental health concerns. 

Böllman said, ‘No society can claim to be free if parents can lose their daughter solely for affirming biological reality.’
