Possible complications of precocious puberty include:
Short height. Children with precocious puberty might grow quickly at first and be taller than others their ages. But their bones mature too soon. So these children often stop growing earlier than usual. This can cause them to be shorter than average as adults.
Social and emotional problems. Children who begin puberty long before others of their age might be upset about the changes in their bodies. For example, dealing with early periods can cause distress. This might affect self-esteem and raise the risk of depression or using illegal drugs or alcohol.
Since they linked tumours as a possible cause of this, I don't think these two are ALL the dangers, just the obvious ones.

This is a really soft way for them of explaining a horrific problem. I think we all knew that one girl who "Grew boobs over summer" in early middle school, and how she was instantly the center of a lot of attention that a child isn't equipped to handle. These are the girls that predators aim for first, and that's the exact reason why they end up with a drug and alcohol problem.
Everyone involved in trying to treat this as just a sad little quirk of nature, instead of a real and serious problem should be shot.
3 years old is young enough that they're borderline incoherent, still at risk for bathroom accidents, and skinning their knees is the worst thing that's ever happened. How the fuck do you guide a girl that young through her first period? I'm not even angry anymore, I'm just at the point where excising this shit is a clinical duty.
