The UK Department of Education removed a charity for transgender children as a mental health and wellness resource from official government leadership after the organization was repeatedly embroiled in scandals.

Parents also expressed concern after it was revealed that the children of the online mermaid forum were trying to shift conversations about experimental hormone treatments and surgery to less strictly supervised platforms, according to the London Times.
