Leading medical organizations are asking the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate a string of recent online attacks against hospitals and doctors that provide care to transgender minors. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association and the Children’s Hospital Association on Monday said the attacks have included allegations of child abuse as well as bomb threats and threats of personal violence, The Hill reports. The groups also are calling on social media companies to do more to prevent disinformation on their platforms and take “bolder action” when false information is shared.
