Utah Couple Charged With International Parental Kidnapping After Taking 10-Year-Old to Cuba
A Utah couple faces federal parental kidnapping charges after allegedly taking a 10-year-old child to Cuba during a custody dispute. Rose Inessa-Ethington, the child's biological father and a transgender woman, and her partner Blue Inessa-Ethington were arrested after Cuban authorities deported them. The child was returned to their biological mother this week via a DOJ aircraft. Authorities cited concerns about gender-affirming surgery but acknowledged no physical evidence was offered that surgery was actually planned, as it's illegal for children in Cuba.
