A young woman is suing West Virginia health officials after she said they failed to protect her from her fathers sexual abuse.
The AP reports 21-year-old Jane Doe said her father raped and impregnated her when she was 11 years old, and her stepmother took her to have an abortion to cover up the abuse.
Doe, whose real name is not used for privacy reasons, said the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources failed to protect her when it removed her from foster care and placed her in her biological fathers home, according to the report.
Her lawsuit, filed Monday, points to evidence that the agency knew her father had a history of abuse when it placed her in his home in 2010 and, later, did nothing after receiving reports about him sexually abusing her.
The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports more:
Three months after she moved in with her father, she was pregnant with his child.
State workers left her in the house with her father for two years removing her once only for a few months after she revealed the pregnancy to a therapist and her father told police that there was a chance sex had happened between the pair, according to the lawsuit.
Doe said her stepmother took her to have an abortion to destroy criminal evidence against the father, and the agency knew about that as well, the AP reports. It is not clear from reports if the girl was pressured or forced into aborting her unborn baby.
Three years later, the father was charged with incest and arrested, but he accepted a plea deal of five years on probation in 2017, the report states.
Does attorney said her client decided to come forward after living under threats and intimidation for years.
Health department officials said they plan to conduct an internal investigation as a result of the allegations.
Research shows strong links between abortion and abuse, and abortion facilities have been caught numerous times failing to report the suspected abuse of young girls to authorities. Studies of sex trafficking victims have found that victims frequently are pressured or forced to abort their unborn babies. And LifeNews has reported about many crime stories involving abortion and abuse.
As LifeNews previously reported, one study found that as many as 64 percent of post-abortive women say they felt pressure to have an abortion. Another study published in the journal PLOS Medicine found that about 25 percent of women who had abortions faced some sort of abuse before the procedure.
THEY NEED THEIR FEET HELD TO THE FIRE
Sue the abortion clinic and the abortionist also for not reporting sexual assault/rape and abuse to the police.
Pregnant 11 year old and the authorities were not contacted to investigate the pregnancy?
Thank a Feminazi and Planned Parenthood, they are both pro-rape and have been on record telling girls to suck it up and take one for the team.
And the father needs his feet secured to a post, along with his hands and his torso. Then the post needs to be lit on fire.
This clinic is not a PP one just a private owned. Don’t know why charges were not filed.
Yeah. Sorry. I think we are at that point where the big house is not enough. Evil has been allowed to run rampant for too long. But then again, maybe I have been spending too much time in the Old Testament.
and the mother as well for trying to cover it up. IMO

Sounds like our former neighbors except that the father, himself, not only impregnated both of his daughters, but also performed the abortions the old-fashion way...yes, actually a couple of em. Both of the girls finally ran away from home to get away from him, and he eventually died from a drug overdose. He was a real piece of work.
Unfortunately, Family Incest is when boys and girls find out how cheaply they are viewed in the eyes of the family.
Have seen it played out several times, personally.
It’s heartbreaking, especially if it’s one child who’s been sexually abused and is acting out with a younger child. And the family still wants it all quiet.
Sigh.
they failed to protect her, some one else’s fault once again
