“We have received disturbing allegations that individuals at the Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital have been harming hundreds of children each year, including by using experimental drugs on them,” he said in a statement Thursday. “We take this evidence seriously and are thoroughly investigating to make sure children are not harmed by individuals who may be more concerned with a radical social agenda than the health of children.”

Sheila Solon, director at the state’s Division of Professional Registration, noted that the medical professionals involved in this scandal may lose their professional licenses.

“The Division of Professional Registration and its 41 licensing boards license over 525,000 Missourians in more than 300 professions,” Solon said. “Importantly, the Division and its boards’ mission is the protection of the public, especially those most vulnerable.”

“The Division’s licensing boards will investigate the complaints they receive as part of this investigation, and take any necessary action against the licenses of Missouri professionals in violation of the boards’ statutory and regulatory authority to ensure health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Missouri,” she added.
