Police confirmed to the Daily Caller Thursday they did receive a 911 call from the hospital about the bomb threat, in contradiction to previous reports made by an investigative journalist appeared to show Boston Police claiming they did not receive a call about a bomb threat. Police have responded to two separate bomb threats, on Aug. 30 and Sept. 9, according to NBC Boston.
Boston Children’s Hospital made rounds in the news in August after it promoted a series of now-deleted videos promoting sex change surgeries. The hospital’s guidance originally said it provided the surgeries to children as young as 17, but it later updated its guidance. A Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of publicly available documents found the hospital performed at least 65 chest surgeries on minors as young as 15.
