A transgender teenager was removed from their parents who allegedly refused to allow the youngster to transition into boy. A judge ruled the parents were "abusive" in their refusal to allow the 15-year-old, born female, to transition.
The case came to the attention of Australian authorities when the teenager began posting suicidal thoughts online around a year ago.
The teen was officially taken into care after a state Children's Court magistrate made a protection order in October and cited the teenager's risk of self harm.
According to the Weekend Australian, the parents say they grieved the loss off their child and said they had been subjected to bullying by authorities.
