I haven't seen very much on this case here in the US, but what I have, has been whitewashed to hell. A TIM in a contentious custody battle kidnaped his preteen son for "gender surgery" in Cuba. The boy was rescued before he could be mutilated.
The boy is 10. His father is being referred to in a lot of news stories as the mother, which has been making me want to rip my hair out.
