Freya was barely three years old when her body began to change: pubic hair, breast budding, and emotional outbursts that her mother described as “those of a teenager”. 😟 The diagnosis came with an explanation few expected: doctors point to the hormone replacement therapy gel used by Samantha Ashworth, 52, to treat her menopause. The theory is that Freya absorbed the hormones simply by hugging her mother.
Many point directly to the healthcare system: no one warned Samantha that she needed to wear gloves or avoid physical contact after applying the gel. 🔴 But others wonder whether a mother who works in healthcare should have looked more into the risks before using it around a small child.
Whose responsibility is it: the doctors who never warned about the risks, or the parents who should inform themselves before using any medication at home? 👇
