Doctor failed to report abortion on 12-year-old - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com: Florida health regulators voted on Saturday to indefinitely suspend the medical license of a Tamarac obstetrician who did not report as possible child abuse a 12-year-old girl who came to him for an abortion and was six months pregnant. But he will challenge the ruling.
Dr. Michael Benjamin told state officials he believed the girl's story that she got pregnant from consensual sex with a classmate who lived nearby. He said he didn't think he needed to report it. Authorities later convicted the boyfriend of the girl's mother in the pre-teen's pregnancy.
