“The child is being treated at a hospital in Seattle, and their condition...”

the child...their condition?

Did pronoun antecedent agreement go out the window?

Why not just write, “The condition of the child, who is beinging treated in a hospital, is unknown...” if there is insufficient backbone in the writer.

A traumatic event for the child but the pronoun insanity remains above all.
