A 16-year-old boy being held at a Los Angeles County juvenile hall developed enlarged breasts after he was prescribed estrogen to treat a behavioral disorder, a move that baffled doctors who said the treatment defied medical logic, according to a lawsuit filed last month.

The teen, whose identity is being withheld because of his age, was diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder, or ODD, two days after he was arrested and housed at Eastlake Juvenile Hall in June 2019, the lawsuit said. Medical records reviewed by The Times show that the teen's testosterone levels were "slightly high" when the doctor who diagnosed him prescribed daily doses of estrogen.

They are literally castrating young men in the cities for not behaving "correctly".

These people are SICK SICK SICK!!!!

[BenLurkin]

A lot of these yobs, literal castration would benefit themselves and society. Trayvon Martin and the Affluenza Guy for instance.

Trump should be erupting over this. Instead of trying to kiss-up to Fauci.

The boy's father said the hormone therapy has had a long-term effect on his son, who now scares easily and has become antisocial. "He’s like a different person. He just wants to be in his room, and he don’t come out for nothing, all day in his room," the father said. "He was never like that.”

Hey, the treatment worked! He's super docile now! Nice work, doctor!

Do I really need to add the /s tag?

More detailed story about the same event.

How about revoking the medical license and law enforcement jobs of everyone involved? They shouldn't even be allowed to count Band-Aids for the medic in an Antarctic research station.

No, the sickness is in the people that created the sick situation, not in the person who made a simple and quite obvious observation about it.

I could see applying this treatment on thugs who do too many assaults and robberies.

[pepsi_junkie]

It sterilizes people, so that’s sorta eugenics. Not comfortable with that treatment for anyone. Well, actually ... it’s okay for pedophiles. They should be castrated to make sure they can’t go off the meds and corner some kid somewhere.

The stuff works.

You didn’t read the article either!

And you have no clue on behavior.

This is the plan for the rest of the population. This was only a test.

How about as treatment for violent rapists? Not “date rape” but actual knife-against-throat rape?

[Boogieman]

Uh huh, so you’re psychic now?

[Huskrrrr]

Josef Mengele would be proud.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yup.

[tbw2]

50-50 chance he was raped and/or sexually assaulted

[Harpotoo]

Yes, libs think women are just naturally less violent than their male counter parts!
