Planned Parenthood looked the other way, Mason rape victim says

Warren County Prosecutor Rachel Hutzel said she has seen a few cases of child abuse but this is the worst case that she has ever seen. The young girl was molested by her father for five years.

When the young girl decided in 2006 that she wasn't going to take it anymore and did not want her sister to become a victim she told a Mason High school official what was going on. The father, John Blanks Jr. has been sentenced to five years in prison. It is for one year in prison for every year he molested his daughter. It began when she was 13.

"She had to get up out of his bed in the morning and go to school, if you can imagine what that was like," Hutzel said.

The girl says in a lawsuit the abuse could have been stopped in Nov. of 2004 when she reported the abuse at the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Cincinnati. She had been sent there at that time by her father to have an abortion.

"She tried to put an end to this abuse," said Brian Hurley, "by informing a Planned Parenthood employee that she has been forced to have sex and to do things she did not want to do. Tragically for her, Planned Parenthood's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy was in full force."

According to state law teachers, clinic workers, and any others who suspect abuse are to report it to the police. But her cry for help was completely ignored by planned Parenthood for the next year and a half. Becki Brenner of Planned Parenthood said they do not have a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy." Planned Parenthood gave her an abortion and sent her home with birth-control pills. They then sent her home with her father who continued to abuse her for another year and a half.

"That had to have been one of the darkest days of her life. She has just had an abortion, now she has to get back in the car and go home with him."

Hurley did find a note in Planned Parenthood files about sexual abuse that says "don't ask, don't tell." Five years for what he did to his own daughter who unjust is that?
