Planned Parenthood In Hot Water for Failing to Report Statutory Rape Cases
HARTFORD, June 6, 2002 (LSN.ca) - Connecticut Chief State's Attorney John M. Bailey said he plans to meet with Planned Parenthood next week to remind the organization of its statutory obligation to report suspected cases of child sex abuse. The news comes after Life Dynamics Inc, a Texas-based pro-life group released the results of a sting operation where Planned Parenthood clinics were discovered to be concealing statutory rape cases.
Tape recorded evidence of calls to Planned Parenthood made by a Life Dynamics worker, posing as an abortion seeking 13-year-old girl alleging a pregnancy by a 22-year-old boyfriend, were submitted to police. The Journal Inquirer reports that on one of the tapes, a West Hartford branch Planned Parenthood employee told the caller that she had given too much information. "The fact that your boyfriend is 22 and the fact you're 14 ... we're mandated reporters. That means we have to report that," the employee said. But no reports ever were made, state officials said.
In a related development, Nebraska Attorney General Don Stenberg asked the Health and Humans Services System to look into allegations by Nebraskans United for Life that Planned Parenthood clinics in Nebraska fail to report statutory rape cases when they are made aware of them.
