Forensic Nurse: ‘That Should Have Never Happened’-Part2

Tami Hartlaub, a retired forensic nurse, gave a presentation at the “Innocence Under Siege” event in Huntingdon Valley, Pa., on March 18, 2023. She presented on the medical issues involved with transitioning children. She talked about how the human brain works, noting that the frontal lobe, which controls judgment, is not yet mature in young children and teens. They do not have the maturity to make life-changing decisions like gender reassignment surgery, Hartlaub said. Parents need to stand up for their kids, she stressed, instead of allowing the medical community and the psychiatric community to dictate to them that they need to transition. Hartlaub has over 30 years of experience in the nursing field, providing forensic examinations for adult and child victims of sexual and physical assault. Hartlaub called Cole’s story “heartbreaking.” She told The Epoch Times: “That should have never happened.” “It’s very obvious,” said Hartlaub, that the teen suffered “extreme harm” at the hands of physicians she respected and trusted to be able to provide her with the best care. Hartlaub suggested parents become more involved with school boards. “They can not allow themselves to back down” in the face of pressure from schools that are pushing the liberal agenda, she said.
