Teen boys are now being forced to take estrogen in juvenile hall in Los Angeles. What does everyone think of this?

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.

The boy was FORCED to take the drugs. He was threatened with jail time if he refused.

This is such bullshit. I hope those responsible are terminated from their positions and are never permitted to work with children again.
