<\/div>

Investigative reporting from the Topeka Capital-Journal found<\/a> that the Kansas Department of Children and Families (DCF) has not been releasing<\/a> sex abuse reports, including those from abortion facilities, as required by law.<\/p>\n

The Capital-Journal filed an open records request over the summer, after realizing that DCF had not released the sex abuse cases reported by abortionists in 12 years<\/em>. Lawmakers had mandated the reports to be released each year in 2011, but DCF never did it, until the Capital Journal got involved. The information released was grim.<\/p>\n

In the past three years, child sex abuse reports have increased, without the data being sent to lawmakers as required. Within just the last fiscal year, there have been 56 reports of child sex abuse from abortionists. Furthermore, records were only available from 2017 through 2022; reports were not created at all<\/em> for the years prior.<\/p>\n
