Parents' conflict escalated: Federal Supreme Court decides on custody!

A sensational case recently caused a sensation in Switzerland: A 16-year-old child may change his gender entry in the civil registry register against the will of the parents. The Federal Court of Justice made it clear that the parents' consent is not necessary for this change. The parents had previously contested that the responsible civil servant was not qualified to assess their child's judgment. Instead, they called for the assessment by an experienced psychiatrist who could take into account the far-reaching consequences of such a decision, the Tages-Ezeiger .

In the background there is a dramatic story: the child had asked his parents to change gender in a letter, which led to the involvement of psychiatrists who supported the wish. After a suicidal crisis, the child was reported to the youth protection authority and the parental custody was temporarily withdrawn. Supported by the Christian Organization ADF International, the parents started a campaign against the state and their own child and fought a bitter legal dispute that attracted public interest. The case became so prominent that even Elon Musk entered the discussion by expressing his concerns on social media Schweiz.ch/bundeschärter-zur-ellichen-und-bexchen-bei-bei-bei-bei-bei-bei-bei-bein- reported.
