Remember when politicians were frequently referring to "the children" as a group that must be cared for through various social programs? Remember when "It takes a village" to raise a child was the buzzword? Did you ever think that those politicians really understood what they were proposing?
Jesus had words of warning for us,
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:1-6
While other countries are banning puberty blockers and genital mutilation surgeries for minors, the practice continues in much of the U.S. Many states are taking the lead in banning these procedures in children, but the federal Department of "Justice" is finding ways to intimidate people so that the practice can continue in spite of such laws.
There is a case in Texas that is a particularly egregious example.
From The Christian Post,
Such was the realization Dr. Eithan Haim had when he came forward after Texas legislators said ‘no’ to trans-ing children via a bill restricting so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors. Texas Children’s Hospital claimed that as a result of the liability risks that the approved legislation posed, they were ending the transgender program at the hospital. But the opposite was true. Speaking anonymously at first, Dr. Haim told Christopher Rufo in May 2023 that the hospital was continuing it in a stealthy manner. Among the atrocities still being carried out were surgical procedures to implant hormone blockers in children’s arms, some of whom were as young as 11.
Even though he redacted the identities of the young patients being harmed, Dr. Haim is now being targeted by the federal government, leveling charges against him for allegedly exposing private information. The feds are now threatening this man with potentially 10 years in prison on what amounts to a technicality while doctors are chemically castrating children. What is encouraging though is that the general public has rallied behind the 34-year-old surgeon, raising over $1 million in funds via a crowdfunder for his legal defense expenses.
According to nurse Vanessa Sivadge, it was because of the conviction of the Holy Spirit that she, too, knew she could not stay silent about the medical scandal that is trans-ing children. As she told Allie Beth Stuckey in a July 2 Relatable podcast interview, this was something that she came to understand as one of the “good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” referencing Ephesians 2:10.
Although she did not know Dr. Haim at the time, it was her testimony that corroborated what he exposed. FBI agents showed up at Sivadge’s home, and tried to intimidate her into cooperating with them. Sivadge also revealed how doctors fraudulently miscategorized the treatments in order to do these procedures as a legal workaround given the ban that Texas Medicaid had instituted on such practices.
I understand the law that the DOJ is applying. It is called a violation of HIPAA rules that were made to protect patients' private information. I suspect the physician accessed the hospital computerized record system for some of his information. This should not be done without a patient's consent or a consultation request from another physician. I also suspect that someone in the hospital's administration or staff reported this as retribution. Believe me, I know how this works.
The doctor should be hailed as a hero for stopping these crimes against children. Instead, he faces persecution by the DOJ and probably by the hospital as well.
The lawyers in the DOJ would be well advised to take heed of Jesus' words.

The hospital was violating Texas law by continuing the procedures. Charging the doctor with felony HIPAA violations when he had carefully obscured all patient identifying information is politicizing the law. Even worse, as the nurse confirms, doctors were illegally charging Medicaid for illegal procedures.
