BOSTON – The FBI says that an arrest has been made in a “hoax bomb threat” against Boston Children’s Hospital. Boston police and the U.S. Attorney’s office will share more information at a news conference Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m.
Last month, the hospital said staff members have been inundated with threats because of what they call “misinformation” about their treatment of transgender patients.
The hospital said an online article falsely claimed that doctors are performing hysterectomies on minors. The age of consent for that gender-affirming procedure is 18.
“We condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms, and we reject the false narratives upon which they are based,” the hospital said in August. “We are working with law enforcement to protect our clinicians, staff, patients, families, and the broader Boston Children’s Hospital community and hold the offenders accountable. We will continue to take all appropriate measures to protect our people.”
