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.
"Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society."
Wow! I have been praying and waiting for justice, and this LA lawsuit news is indeed hopeful. So many damaged children everywhere, heartbreaking. I am encouraged that the trans-gender lawsuits will be forthcoming, and billions of dollars will be available to help all the trans-victims and their families, the children who have mutilated their bodies with surgery, who have taken the cross-sex hormones, and are suffering from the side effects all need medical, mental and emotional help and support! The trans-ideology lies has created so many wounded followers. Accountability time! Every schoolteacher, counselor, principle, coach and school board member who promoted and supported the trans lies need to have a consequence for their roles in affirmation. All of these people in such important and influential roles in children's lives can no longer be trusted - they should be fired without pay and benefits and replaced with trained professionals who understand the lies and harm of trans-ideology, who want to actually protect and guard our children. Next, all the therapists and psychiatrists and social workers who instantly affirmed children they knew nothing about, need to be severely reprimanded financially, and their licenses suspended. They have already proven that their views and opinions are dangerous and harmful to children. They need to be outcast in our society. Then, all the doctors who prescribed puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children need to face prison time, stripped of their dignity and never allowed to practice again. They need to be sued and lose everything they have. And for all the surgeons who have performed these drastic and unnecessary surgeries - they need to face the biggest consequences for their crimes. They need to be treated as war criminals, locked up in prisons, and never allowed to see freedom again. These surgeons have made so much money from these dreadful surgeries; they need the harshest penalties! They must pay back every cent they earned, have their licenses taken away for life, and spend the rest of their lives doing physical labor in the toughest prisons. And we must not forget about all the politicians who supported and passed laws to harm our children; who insisted that we give puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children; who encouraged the leadership in their schools to keep the trans secrets from their parents; who demanded that children be removed from their homes if their parents did not affirm them; and who provided glitter families to these confused children. They all need to be removed from office, fined, and then sent to jail for many years. Well...one can wish, right? Hope = Justice = Freedom
Eileen, I think you have it exactly right: if we are going to really solve this problem, we will have to take a multi-layered approach.
We will have to find it in our hearts to forgive the 90% of people who just stupidly got caught up in this evil fad
AND
We will have to steel ourselves to deal harshly with the other 10%. Social sanctions, professional sanctions, civil damages, criminal charges, and for the very worst cases, something like crimes against humanity charges.
For these LA kids, this settlement is a first step. Elizabeth’s BBC article mentions two cases so far have also been referred for criminal prosecution. Pray for an avalanche.
Great piece, and I didn't know about this. Once there is a path weed-wacked into any part of the law, lawsuits are inevitable. In my view, "gender affirming care" is a kind of sexual abuse as it literally physically and emotionally aims to destroy the sexual characteristics of a child. But even if that concept is not part of an argument in court, the fact that governments and bureaucracies facilitated such harm to a generation of children would seem to make them vulnerable to successful suits. The lawyers will figure it out.
I only stumbled across this case, which is crazy because it’s HUGE. Part of justice for these victims will be saying loud and clear “this happened on California’s watch”
Weed-wacking a path through the law, that is genius! I wish I had come up with that.
That’s exactly what I’m reaching for, openings that other people have made, that we can use and follow for our kids.
(And I agree that GAC is a kind of sexual abuse. It’s sexual obliteration.)
"The case arose from a 2020 California state law that gave victims of childhood sexual abuse a new window to file civil claims against alleged predators and the agencies that employed them.
"The things they endured are the most horrific things you can imagine," said Mr Becker.
The New York Times has reported that staff at MacLaren had "allowed convicted burglars and drug traffickers to care for children" without proper background checks.
In lawsuits, children who had lived there alleged that staff members had crawled into their bunks at night and sexually assaulted them."
At some point we will need a similar legal "look back window" so that no statute of limitations will apply regarding GAC/ Frankenstein Industrial Complex (FiC). Or, maybe the same 2020 California state law will apply for older cases. I'm not a lawyer but I hope lawyers see this PITT article!
Does anyone know if there are mass lawsuits against state health and insurance agencies that are giving our children hormones and surgeries? Our daughter is in Oregon on OHP and immediately upon entering the state they put her on hormones and are giving her "gender affirming" mental health services. I think all these state agencies need to be sued into oblivion and I want to join if this is happening because it is the only way it stops.
I have empathy for kids and young adults who are struggling and identify as trans. I hope they find peace, I hope they get healthy. I have zero empathy for the parasitic medical "professionals", educators, politicians and trans activists who have spearheaded and advanced this movement. Sue them all.
Thanks for sharing this positive news. Here is a glaring example of the foster care agenda and the direct relationship to so-called lgbtq+ youth from the American Bar Association.
It blew my mind writing it, realizing that we in 2025 are NOT ALONE, that our experiences echo what’s been going on for a long time. (The Los Angeles settlement goes back to 1959)
But the difference is, institutions today KNOW what’s happening, and they cheer for it. Consider how severe we need to be with that kind of malice.
Glad to see more light shed on this, however, this is similar to the ouroboros because Government is paying, via taxes citizens give. It is not as painful as doctors, teachers, therapists, etc., paying for this crime. With this we are sacrificing our children to trans reimbursed via tax payers. While a good outcome, I want individuals to pay for their crimes not society in general. As if our governments need more debt....
I hear you - but I will take it if it brings down the Frankenstein Industrial Complex (FiC)
If a state - maybe California - has to make a big pay out then other states might retreat, something might make it to the media... there could be consequences for doctors, teachers, therapists, etc. especially if families not directly hurt by FiC yet get angry over money.
Right now we the tax payer do pay for transing because it is covered under Obama Care.
I don't think that most people are even aware that young adults receive cross sex hormones with little co-pays when maybe they cannot get something medical that they need paid for or get dental care.
Yep, it's covered under Obamacare but not the reversal of such surgeries, except fake breasts. Obamacare has destroyed health care, no more private doctors, have to go to a giant health care system. We all know what's best for people is giant, endless layers of bureaucracy between what people need and want and the people who can provide such things. They are doing the same thing with banks, they would love to do the same thing with everything, grocery stores, automobiles, homes, clothing, restaurants and on and on and on. Sorry for the rant, could not help it. Glad the Dentists largely resisted Obamacare back in the day.
We who are here are against this with every fiber of our being and trying to save our kids and families are also tax payers. so we would then be paying for our own harm.
I agree with you totally. Those who led people astray should be held accountable. Losing their licence to practice would be the best punishment as well as hearty fines! These people knew better or if they were intrinsically evil then they need to be exposed. The detransitioners need to expose these doctors their names and where they practice. This practice needs to be stopped immediately!
Yes, and just imagine what these so-called doctors will go on to do next after they cannot hack up kids. I suspect many will will help to continue to grow the adult SRS industry.
Yes, it’s important to utterly shatter the gender industry (and all the supports it has received: politicians, journalists, intellectuals, nobody is immune)
If we don’t, it will just grow back and do this again in five years.
I agree, loss of licensure would be the minimum. Criminal charges would be closest to real justice, but I don’t see that happening. All the examples given, except for Nuremberg, show how easily justice is deferred to protect the most powerful in society.
For a moment I literally wished that society could rid itself of the monsters involved in this insanity. We can't hang them but we should destroy their careers.
I wholeheartedly concur. If the debts of the guilty are paid by the masses, they are not punished for their crimes, we are. And they will have no remorse or introspection because it cost them absolutely nothing. Not only should they pay, they should lose any professional licensure they hold forever!
It’s because trans affects only a tiny percentage of the population. A lot of people are not even sure what it is and are shocked when they find out. If they are liberals they usually say oh well to each his own or some other nonsensical statements! Liberals are the root of this heinous atrocities on our children and young adults
Give the nation a long rest from Marxist based ideologies and the politicians who espouse such thinking.
We can stop electing Democrats.
Not only have they have destroyed CA. but MANY children’s lives.
This will never end, until we end their super majority reign.
PRAISE GOD AND GET AFTER MORE OF THESE PERV COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES!
"Gender-Affirming Care" (GAC) is really the Frankenstein Industrial Complex, or FiC.
Eisenhower knew what was up:
https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/president-dwight-d-eisenhowers-farewell-address
Good connection!
Everyone’s heard the “military-industrial complex” part of that speech
But for us, the prophetic part is when he also warns of big science capturing public policy.
And vice versa, the allure of government money (and access to power) corrupting science.
Are the last few years anything but the fulfillment of that prophecy?
Trans, covid, opioids, SSRIs, and so on?
Right.

Yes, and we must push back when we get accused of “transphobia.”
We’re not against trans-identified people. Every single one of us LOVES a trans-identified person.
What we are against is groomers, profiteers, “activists” – the Pied Pipers who lead others astray. Especially young people.

It is a good rant.
There are endless layers - unless you want cross sex hormones and then they are just handed over as it is easy money for the system/medical Plex.

No question, it’s difficult. We may fail.
How do you find justice when your entire society, from top to bottom, has gone insane?
When your doctors become butchers?
When your thinkers become liars?
When your judges and lawyers become criminals?
Actually it’s the top that’s worst of all.
I keep coming back to Nuremberg – this model of a special process that goes beyond normal criminal law – as the only way to REALLY solve this problem.
Literally hanging doctors, which American judges did at Nuremberg, may be a step too far for 2025.
But hauling the worst of the worst in front of a special court?
Convicting them of a crime against a million children?
Locking them in a special prison for 20 years?
That works for me.
For a moment I literally wished that society could rid itself of the monsters involved in this insanity. We can't hang them but we should destroy their careers.
I wholeheartedly concur. If the debts of the guilty are paid by the masses, they are not punished for their crimes, we are. And they will have no remorse or introspection because it cost them absolutely nothing. Not only should they pay, they should lose any professional licensure they hold forever!
100% Exactly right...!
Interesting that this story is not mainstream. I never saw it and when I searched X, not much there.
It’s because trans affects only a tiny percentage of the population. A lot of people are not even sure what it is and are shocked when they find out. If they are liberals they usually say oh well to each his own or some other nonsensical statements! Liberals are the root of this heinous atrocities on our children and young adults
The mainstream media manipulates public opinion. The mainstream media serves the agenda.
Hope! May truth and justice win!
