An investigation by Washington University into the Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital found that doctors at the facility were adhering to the appropriate standards of care and were not providing prescriptions to minors without appropriate parental consent.
The investigation into the center came after a former employee made allegations of inappropriate conduct in the online media outlet The Free Press. Those allegations were also reported to the Missouri attorney general, who launched an investigation into the claims and called them "shocking." Washington University, which oversees the center, "immediately initiated" a review, the school said.
Their review was released on Friday. The report found that the allegations, which included charges of gender-affirming surgeries to children under the age of 18, rushed psychological evaluations, and claims that parents' consent was not always sought in minors' care, were "unsubstantiated."
