Original Post:
Statements on Planned Parenthood Golden Gate's web site strongly indicate that the California Planned Parenthood affiliate could be guilty of being an accomplice to a crime by allowing a rapist to remain free in his community. As first reported on the Dawn Patrol blog, an eleven-year-old girl walked into Planned Parenthood after being forcibly raped by a seventeen-year-old boy. Planned Parenthood's reaction? They did not report the crime nor did they tell the little girl's parents.Is this Planned Parenthood's idea of looking out for the child's well being? Forcing her to deal with the aftermath of rape without her family's support?
According to California state law Planned Parenthood may be criminally negligible for not reporting the crime and there is a chance the statute of limitations still applies for the rapist. In the guise of protecting an 11-year-old child, Planned Parenthood has instead further made her a victim, while protecting her rapist. According to California state statistics almost 70% of teen births are children of adult men, and teenage girls are twice as likely to have sexually transmitted diseases as teenage boys. Who is watching out for the children? This is standard operating procedure for Planned Parenthood and in this case California's attorney general needs to investigate and, if necessary, prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

We can agree we don't know the whole story but beyond that you are dealing in fiction.
You can't tell me that this girl would have been abandoned by her parents for telling them she was raped. It's possible but not probable.
That fact is there are laws that all of us need to follow.If you break a law with good intentions, you have still broken the law.
This is an 11 year old child. What right does anyone have to bypass her parents with a proven cause. In that case the courts would rule if we follow the law.
I'm not sure about the situation you were in, but if you followed the law and honored parental rights then I would applaud you no matter the outcome.
Powerball, as a medic you know that you're not supposed to tamper with a crime scene or deliberately destroy evidence of a crime. And you know that you're not to cover up a crime.
Medical professionals are required to report crimes. That includes rape. The girl could choose not to cooperate with police, but that's not PP's call to make, nor would it be your call.
I totally agree. My concern is PP did not report the crime. (There is no record of it that has been found) yet they post it on their website.
All I ask is that the law be followed by this organization that claims to care for women.
