The Missouri Attorney General launches whole-of-government investigation into a transgender clinic in St. Louis for allegedly harming hundreds of children after a trans whistleblower published an account of shocking revelations there
- Missouri’s Attorney General gives new details about his investigation into the St. Louis gender clinic where a trans whistleblower alleged medical providers are going way too far in pushing sex change drugs and surgery on kids.
- The investigation is quite wide-ranging. It involves multiple state agencies and promises to leave no stone unturned. Investigators are looking for consumer protection infractions, professional license violations, Medicaid fraud, parental consent fraud, and crimes. The validity of parental consent is at issue because parents were falsely told their children would commit suicide unless they were allowed to transition. Coercion is not consent. Valid parental consent was also lacking because clinicians did not make full disclosure about the long-term adverse health consequences of sex change drugs and surgery. As for the criminal aspects of the investigation, the clinicians involved could end up facing child abuse charges. School officials, who have a legal duty to report child abuse, may be complicit, instead. The investigation will determine whether they conspired with clinicians to form a school-to-clinic pipeline of steady business for the clinic.
