As a thought experiment, how would this be handled in America?

There would be a lawsuit. And probably a settlement.

Beyond that, there wouldn’t be any effort to track these kids across their lives.

And medical privacy would prevent any sort of public inquiry.

Best case scenario would be a large lump sum payment to a committee of lawyers charged with monitoring the well being of the children.

I don’t think charging the individuals and institutions that let this happen with “making it right” is a good idea.

This crazy doctor should never be allowed to see these parents and kids again.

Conclusion of your thought experiment rings very true. An example of a similar result is the the case of the Turpin children.
