In general, I consider any child out of bounds when used for political or manipulative purposes. It is a cheap target that displays the lack of Honor and Integrity of the person doing so. The media did seem to focus on this particular person because of the relation to a sitting lawmaker. I focused on the fact that the media is lying and perpetuating insanity regarding this person by referring to him as "daughter" and "her" like they also do with many others who are similarly afflicted with serious psychological issues including identity-delusions. However, I do consider attacking police officers and "assault by means of a dangerous weapon, destruction or injury of personal property and damage of property by graffiti" to be far more "out of bounds" than the media calling out an adult son who is related to a sitting lawmaker. I didn't see any "political or manipulative purposes" (other than to sell headlines and clicks), although I suppose the media did target this one out of the many who were similarly arrested, so there may be a point there. ETA: grammar

Are they a child if they're 23? I'd fully expect one of my kids to get spanked in the headlines if they choose to assault a cop.

Isn't EVERYONE someone else's child? IMO, if they're adults like the guy in the article who assaulted a cop, or Hunter Biden, or Ivanka Trump, and they push themselves into the public realm, then they are fair game for reporting and critique. YMMV

It's well known that Hitler was a drug addict. He took all sorts of drugs including speed, cocaine, etc and his entire army ran on speed.
But what is this?

Horrific. Barbaric. Evil. I Thought I Was Saving Trans Kids. Now I’m Blowing the Whistle.There are more than 100 pediatric gender clinics across the U.S. I worked at one. What’s happening to children is morally and medically appalling. . . . Soon after my arrival at the Transgender Center, I was struck by the lack of formal protocols for treatment. The center’s physician co-directors were essentially the sole authority.
At first, the patient population was tipped toward what used to be the “traditional” instance of a child with gender dysphoria: a boy, often quite young, who wanted to present as—who wanted to be—a girl.
Until 2015 or so, a very small number of these boys comprised the population of pediatric gender dysphoria cases. Then, across the Western world, there began to be a dramatic increase in a new population: Teenage girls, many with no previous history of gender distress, suddenly declared they were transgender and demanded immediate treatment with testosterone.
I certainly saw this at the center. One of my jobs was to do intake for new patients and their families. When I started there were probably 10 such calls a month. When I left there were 50, and about 70 percent of the new patients were girls. Sometimes clusters of girls arrived from the same high school.
This concerned me, but didn’t feel I was in the position to sound some kind of alarm back then. There was a team of about eight of us, and only one other person brought up the kinds of questions I had. Anyone who raised doubts ran the risk of being called a transphobe.
The girls who came to us had many comorbidities: depression, anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders, obesity. Many were diagnosed with autism, or had autism-like symptoms. A report last year on a British pediatric transgender center found that about one-third of the patients referred there were on the autism spectrum.
Frequently, our patients declared they had disorders that no one believed they had. We had patients who said they had Tourette syndrome (but they didn’t); that they had tic disorders (but they didn’t); that they had multiple personalities (but they didn’t).
The doctors privately recognized these false self-diagnoses as a manifestation of social contagion. They even acknowledged that suicide has an element of social contagion. But when I said the clusters of girls streaming into our service looked as if their gender issues might be a manifestation of social contagion, the doctors said gender identity reflected something innate.
To begin transitioning, the girls needed a letter of support from a therapist—usually one we recommended—who they had to see only once or twice for the green light. To make it more efficient for the therapists, we offered them a template for how to write a letter in support of transition. The next stop was a single visit to the endocrinologist for a testosterone prescription.
That’s all it took.
. . .
Many encounters with patients emphasized to me how little these young people understood the profound impacts changing gender would have on their bodies and minds. But the center downplayed the negative consequences, and emphasized the need for transition.
As the center’s website said, “Left untreated, gender dysphoria has any number of consequences, from self-harm to suicide. But when you take away the gender dysphoria by allowing a child to be who he or she is, we’re noticing that goes away. The studies we have show these kids often wind up functioning psychosocially as well as or better than their peers.”
There are no reliable studies showing this.
Indeed, the experiences of many of the center’s patients prove how false these assertions are.
Here’s an example.....

Germany's excess mortality peaked at an ALL TIME HIGH at 40% recently and is now averaging 36% above normal. Pregnancy is 10% BELOW averages. These are NOT caused by Covid. Health Minister states these are "not caused by vaccines". So why are people dying around the world in excess numbers and why are pregnancy at all time lows? Every major country in the world is experiencing this. Is there a scientist in the house that can explain this for us?

They shot down a 3rd balloon in Yukon through NORAD. Looks like there's an endless supply of balloons laterly from China. Seriously.
