The U.S. Supreme Court is an Indiana couple’s last hope for justice after the state’s Child Protective Services removed their son from their home because they refused to indulge his desire to identify as a girl.
The son of Mary and Jeremy Cox, who is now 18, was removed from their home in 2021 by CPS because of the Coxes’ belief that it was not healthy for their son to be “affirmed” as a girl, and they had been objecting to his transition for two years. CPS claimed that this was abusive, as was their adherence to Catholic religious doctrine, which says human beings are created male and female and that this is immutable.
This week, the Coxes asked the Supreme Court to review their case after an appeals court determined that Indiana CPS had acted correctly despite also finding that the parents were not abusive to their son.
It’s a case that has wide-ranging implications for the rights of parents. By removing the Coxes’ son from their home, Indiana CPS is operating under the premise that parents cannot direct the upbringing of their children if they depart from the transgender lobby orthodoxy that demands parents indulge their child’s mental health delusions.
And as much as parental rights are on the line, the Coxes’ right to exercise their Catholic faith freely is also on trial. As Catholic parents, the couple have a duty to ensure their children are raised to understand and follow the teachings of the Catholic Church, including that gender and sex are immutable characteristics of a person.

The Supreme Court now has the opportunity to reassert that the Coxes were well within their legal rights as parents to dissuade their son from his transgender delusions. Even though their son is now a legal adult, there are many parents who will suffer the same fate as the Cox family if the court does not intervene.
It’s up to the Supreme Court to end this insanity.
