(These are allegations only and any 'suspects' are presumed innocent.) Nick Sortor @nicksortor 🚨 HOLY CRAP! Fake Somali “day care center” workers just got CALLED OUT to their FACES by journalist Nick Shirley and team “Where are these 74 kids??! Did you lose them?! Are these children missing?!” “They got paid $1.26 MILLION in tax dollars in 2024! But no kids!” This fraud runs DEEP and Tim Walz is doing NOTHING to stop it.

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has canceled millions of dollars in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). AAP CEO Mark Del Monte predicted that "the sudden withdrawal of these funds will directly impact and potentially harm infants, children, youth, and their families in communities across the United States." HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. asserted that "AAP's unquestioning endorsement of genital mutilation of children and an overly aggressive vaccination schedule for infants directly endangers the health of children. There is no good reason for public funds to be expended on the AAP's dubious agenda." Del...

For decades, parents and kids battled over predictable issues like unfinished homework and messy bedrooms. Not anymore. A new national survey shows technology has overtaken chores and schoolwork as the leading cause of parent-child arguments, signaling a major shift in how families clash at home. Talker Research surveyed 2,000 US parents of children ages 8 to 17, along with their kids, revealing that screen time disputes now dominate family life. The survey was conducted online between Wednesday, Nov. 19, and Tuesday, Nov. 25, and was commissioned by Aura. According to the findings, 28 percent of parents cite technology use as...

More than three dozen missing children were rescued from sex traffickers in North Florida after a massive sting. The rescue effort, named Operation Northern Lights, found 43 missing children across 14 counties with more children found in other states, the US Marshals Service announced Thursday.

Gangland shootings and bombings that have plagued Sweden's biggest cities have spread to quieter suburbs and towns A 12-year-old child assassin has been arrested for allegedly shooting the wrong person in a botched £20,000 hit job. ‌ The boy is accused of murdering a 21-year-old man in a drive-by shooting in Malmö, Sweden, last Friday. ‌ Local media reports the child shot the wrong target and was supposed to hit someone else in the vehicle.

New research is pulling back the curtain on how large numbers of kids are using AI companion apps — and what it found is troubling. A new report conducted by the digital security company Aura found that a significant percentage of kids who turn to AI for companionship are engaging in violent roleplays — and that violence, which can include sexual violence, drove more engagement than any other topic kids engaged with. Drawing from anonymized data gathered from the online activity of roughly 3,000 children aged five to 17 whose parents use Aura’s parental control tool, as well as additional...

Breaking NEWS: HHS has terminated multiple federal grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), totaling around $18-20 million and for good reason. Consider their recent track record. They have presided over the greatest decline to the health of our children that America has ever seen. The AAP has recommended that pediatricians provide gender-affirming care for children. Since summer 2021, the AAP has also recommended that all students and school staff aged 2 and older wear masks in schools, even though there is no evidence that mask use would stop transmission. These masks harm children's development because speech, language learning,...

The Trump administration has acted to ban gender-affirming care for minors across the country. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said Thursday it could pull federal funding from any US hospital that offered transgender surgeries or pharmaceutical treatment. The department's announcement said the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will release a notice of proposed rulemaking that will bar hospitals from performing 'sex-rejecting' procedures on children under 18 if the institutions want to participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs. 'These procedures include pharmaceutical or surgical interventions of specified types that attempt to align a child’s physical appearance...

Thanks to a lawsuit from a pro-life organization, the liberal state of Massachusetts has been forced to allow Christian couples to do foster care. As LifeNews previously reported, a devout Christian couple in Massachusetts lost their foster care license after refusing to sign a state policy requiring them to affirm foster children’s fake gender identities. It’s a decision the pair says forces them to choose between their faith and caring for vulnerable infants. Lydia and Heath Marvin, who have fostered eight children under age 4 since 2020 — many with serious medical needs — were told by the Massachusetts Department...

The House of Representatives voted on Wednesday evening to pass the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, which will make it a crime for sex-change surgery and hormonal treatments to be provided to minors. The bill, authored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), makes it criminal to “knowingly perform, or attempt to perform, genital or bodily mutilation on another person who is a minor” with penalties of up to ten years in prison. It further protects minors from chemical castration or hormonal treatments. Parents who facilitate, consent to, or transport the minor to receive sex change surgeries could also be charged. This...

The moment hero bus passengers leapt into action and saved a teenage girl from being kidnapped by a Sudanese migrant as she walked home has been released. The 17-year-old victim was walking alone after finishing a shift at a theatre when she was followed by Abdulmawal Ibrahim Adam.

Four teachers at a Wisconsin school have been accused of locking children in a pitch-black 'dungeon' as a cruel punishment tactic. A lawsuit launched by the furious parents of three children at Thurston Woods Public School in Milwaukee accuses the staff members of traumatizing their children. Filed on December 8, the legal document alleges that between 2022 and 2024 the teachers would routinely place young children in a boiler room to scare them. 'When asked about 'the dungeon' by their parents, some students would become so scared, stressed and upset that they would begin to cry,' the lawsuit reads. 'Students...

In American high schools, the age of the book may be fading. Many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to an informal reader survey by The New York Times. Twelfth-grade reading scores are at historic lows, and college professors, even at elite schools, are increasingly reporting difficulties in getting students to engage with lengthy or complex texts. Perhaps that is to be expected in the era of TikTok and A.I. Some education experts believe that in the near future,...

Imagine sending your seventh-grader off to school one morning, believing that the adults in the room will protect their innocence. Now imagine that same child coming home shaken because their teacher selected and projected graphic sexual images onto the classroom Smart Board, images so explicit that even the teacher admitted, on the spot, that “some of them were inappropriate.” *** Under the banner of an “art project,” Ms. Gates instructed the entire class to visit an unvetted, unfiltered website. No content warning. No parental notification. No age-appropriate safeguards. Just a free-for-all link that immediately served pornography to a room full...

"Abortion is a tool that allows human beings to shape our destinies, and...

Where moonbats have been allowed to dominate it, education is not about education; it is about moonbattery. This includes introducing prepubescent children to sexual depravity: A Maryland middle school presented a slideshow to 6th graders celebrating “Transgender Awareness Week” where the children were given a lesson that included “advice for coming out” and “8 tips for being nonbinary.” This time it isn’t Baltimore but Bethesda. Westland Middle School is a public school financed by taxpayers. Indoctrination included “a video that was produced by the LGBT educational resource provider Pop’n’Olly.” In no sane world would an “LGBT educational resource provider” be...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) highlighted how he wanted “to see” transgender children, and that there is “no governor that’s done more pro-trans legislation” than he has. During an interview on an episode of The Ezra Klein Show, with New York Times columnist Ezra Klein, Newsom described President Donald Trump as being “One of the most destructive presidents and human beings” in Newsom’s lifetime. […] “We didn’t get into trans sports. That’s an issue no one wants to hear about because 80 percent of the people listening disagree with my position on this,” Newsom shared. “But it comes from my...
