Boston Children’s Hospital has reported that it received a bomb threat, days after reporting a “large volume” of harassing emails and phone calls threatening violence toward its staff in the wake of far-right influencers and anti-trans activists promoting false claims about its gender-affirming care programme.
A threat was reportedly made on 30 August at about 8.05pm, according to the Boston Police Department. Officers began taping off nearby streets at roughly 9pm, and streets began reopening at about 10pm.
