Monumental settlement against LA may help our kids

The county of Los Angeles has just agreed to pay $4 billion to settle 6,800 claims of childhood sexual abuse that allegedly occurred inside its juvenile facilities and foster homes. It’s the largest sex abuse settlement in US history¹

What could this mean for us, the truth-telling parents of trans-identified kids?

LA didn’t set out to hurt these kids; their crime was one of omission, of failing to check carefully enough.

Compare and contrast: today it is the deliberate, explicit, gleeful policy of The State of California (and other states, including NY and CO) to hide and enable and assist in harming trans-identified kids. They passed laws to make it a crime not to aid in trans-ing a kid. These states threaten to remove kids from their loving families and put them… into foster care.

Foster kids were among the first to receive “gender-affirming care.” How could this happen? Germany has asked this question regarding the Kentler Project, which from the 1970s through 1990s intentionally placed foster kids with known pedophiles who’d love and understand them. (Does this sound to you like the glitter families of today?)

A century ago, fueled by the exciting and idealistic new fake science of eugenics, progressives in CA carried out state-sponsored, legal, compulsory sterilizations. There were no significant consequences. Let’s not repeat that mistake under today’s exciting and idealistic new fake science of gender theory.

Like many of you, I dream of the day we see the Nuremberg-style trials of gender criminals. In the original Nuremberg Trials, American judges hanged doctors for crimes that included performing experimental medical procedures without informed consent.

Hmm...

Well, what about a financial penalty? What will occur much sooner than Nuremberg are huge civil suits against the gender-industrial complex and its collaborators, whether governments or institutions or individuals. In LA we now have proof by existence: plaintiffs’ attorneys can and will pursue enormous cases across decades against governments, as well as other deep-pocketed entities – and they’ll win. And our complaint goes far beyond one US county!

If injured parties and their lawyers were waiting for an opening, it's here: at last the federal government has pulled the rug out from under Gender-Affirming Care, first with the DOJ withdrawing all legal legitimacy and now with the DHHS attacking scientific legitimacy. See the May 6 PITT for more on HHS.

I’m not a plaintiff’s attorney. I just want to point out that the world has changed. I want to make the connection to our struggle – to say these kids got some justice, maybe our kids and families will, too. I hope that in the comments you will discuss what might happen next.

Other large sex abuse settlements include The Boy Scouts of America paying $2.46 billion, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles paying $1.5 billion for alleged abuse at the hands of Catholic priests, University of Southern California paying victims of gynecologist George Tyndall $1.1 billion, and Michigan State University paying $500 million to victims of team doctor Larry Nassar.
