"The FBI believes Rose Inessa-Ethington, a transgender woman, brought her 10-year-old child from a previous relationship to Cuba to undergo gender-affirming medical care, which authorities characterized in filings as potential transition-related treatment."
"A federal complaint filed in Utah courts shows the FBI's Violent Crimes Against Children unit in Salt Lake City investigated Inessa-Ethington and her current partner, Blue Inessa-Ethington."
"The complaint alleges Rose claimed to be taking the child on a camping trip to Canada, but instead traveled to Cuba, and then ceased communication with the child's cisgender mother after March 28."
"State courts in Utah on April 13 ordered the child to be returned and awarded sole custody to her cisgender mother."
The FBI sent a plane to Cuba to prevent a transgender parent, Rose Inessa-Ethington, from providing her child with gender-affirming care. This action was part of an international parental kidnapping investigation due to a custody dispute. The child, assigned male at birth but identifying as female, was taken to Cuba instead of Canada as claimed. The U.S. Department of Justice announced the child was reunited with her cisgender mother after a court ordered the return of the child.
