A former Planned Parenthood manager recently revealed that while the abortion giant claimed in 2011 that it was retraining thousands of staff to identify child sex traffickers, it instead trained them how to identify undercover journalists investigating its facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Live Action also used public records requests to check the abortion chain\u2019s claim that it had reported the suspected sex traffickers to authorities. The responses from law enforcement show that Planned Parenthood failed repeatedly to report the suspected crimes to local police departments, state police, or even child protective services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>THE DETAILS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In January 2011, Live Action investigators posing as pimps prostituting minor girls visited Planned Parenthood facilities asking about getting them abortions and sexually transmitted infections testing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After Live Action released the undercover footage exposing Planned Parenthood employees at seven facilities aiding the sex traffickers by suggesting how to get abortions and birth control for their 14- and 15-year-old victims,<b> the abortion chain <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/02\/08\/us\/08parenthood.html?_r=2&amp;hpw\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>claimed to the media<\/b><\/span><\/a><b> that it would retrain thousands of staff members across the country to properly report suspected sexual abuse of minors to authorities.<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=phocsMQsFC4\"><span class=\"s2\">new interview<\/span><\/a> with Live Action president Lila Rose, former Sherman, TX, Planned Parenthood manager Ramona Trevi\u00f1o said that instead of helping employees identify and report potential abuse, the training sessions instructed staff how to identify undercover journalists and whether they were being recorded. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThat experience for me left me so disgusted that I couldn\u2019t see how Planned Parenthood could ever redeem themselves after that,\u201d Trevi\u00f1o said after attending one of the highly publicized training seminars in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWhen confronted with child sex traffickers, Planned Parenthood cared more about protecting its image than protecting children,\u201d said Lila Rose, president and founder of Live Action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The abortion chain also<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/about-us\/newsroom\/press-releases\/planned-parenthood-informs-federal-authorities-potential-sex-trafficking\"><b> <\/b><span class=\"s2\"><b>claimed<\/b><\/span><\/a><b> in 2011 that it had \u201cbeen in contact with federal and local authorities\u201d to identify Live Action\u2019s suspected sex traffickers who had visited its facilities.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2015 and 2016, Live Action made a series of Freedom of Information Act records requests of law enforcement and child protective services in the states and cities where the alleged trafficking occurred.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/FOIA-Response-Letters.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">responses<\/span><\/a><\/span> <span class=\"s1\">show that out of five states and Washington, D.C., only one state &#8212; Arizona &#8212;<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>had responsive records showing Planned Parenthood reported anything to authorities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIt appears that many media outlets simply took Planned Parenthood\u2019s word that it reported the suspected child sex traffickers to the proper local authorities,\u201d said Rose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Research shows that about 30 percent of actual sex trafficking victims come in contact with Planned Parenthood facilities. If Planned Parenthood is failing to report these real incidents to authorities, these victims may be losing any chance to escape their abusers. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Dr. Laura Lederer, former senior advisor for trafficking in persons for the U.S. Department of State, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalcenturion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/The-Health-Consequences-of-Sex-Trafficking.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">reported<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>\u201cSurvivors [of human trafficking] also had significant contact with clinical treatment facilities, most commonly Planned Parenthood clinics, which more than a quarter of survivors (29.6%) visited. \u2026 Since pimps and traffickers generally exercise nearly complete control of their victims, these points of contact with healthcare represent rare opportunities for victim identification and intervention.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s4\"><b>More issues with Planned Parenthood\u2019s story<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Nearly a week after the first of Live Action\u2019s undercover visits to Planned Parenthood facilities, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards wrote a <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/PP-letter-to-AG-Holder-re-sex-trafficking-1-18-11.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">letter<\/span><\/a><\/span> <span class=\"s1\">to then-Attorney General Eric Holder reporting the visits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">She claimed that the suspected sex traffickers visited Planned Parenthood facilities in Arizona, Virginia, Indiana, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. However, she failed to identify the New York facility that investigators visited and she wrongly identified a facility in Indiana that investigators never visited. It appears that the New York facility didn\u2019t report the suspected trafficking and that a real trafficking incident may have occurred in Indiana under Planned Parenthood\u2019s nose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Richards also told Holder that staff \u201cmade it clear\u201d to the suspected traffickers that staff would comply with state laws requiring them to report the possibility of endangered children.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Live Action\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/what-we-do\/investigations\/child-sex-trafficking-cover-up\/\"><span class=\"s2\">video footage<\/span><\/a> shows that staff never told the investigators anything like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIf Planned Parenthood can provide proof that it actually tried to protect children it thought were being forced into prostitution by reporting the suspected crimes to local law enforcement, we\u2019d love to see the evidence,\u201d said Rose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Live Action\u2019s Freedom of Information Act records requests were sent to local, state, and federal agencies and asked for copies of any and all public records that related to reports of alleged sex traffickers at the various Planned Parenthood facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Live Action\u2019s 2011 human trafficking undercover videos can be seen <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/what-we-do\/investigations\/child-sex-trafficking-cover-up\/\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(January 17, 2017) \u2013 A new Live Action investigation shows that Planned Parenthood lied to the media after employees were caught on camera attempting to aid and abet sex traffickers prostituting 14- and 15-year-old girls.
