A mum has described as ‘morally wrong’ a scheme which allowed her 13-year-old daughter to be given a contraception implant at school without her knowledge.

The unnamed mum said she thinks more parents should be aware that their children could be having the medical procedure. She said: ‘I feel really angry about this. I agree that teaching teenagers about sexual health and contraception is very important but this is a step too far. And Norman Wells, Director of the Family Education Trust, criticised such schemes, warning that they ‘treat parents, the law and basic moral principles with contempt....Schemes like these inevitably lead to boys putting pressure on girls to have sex.

Responding to the controversy, another mum told BBC Radio 4: ‘I am sure most parents object to this as an assault on their authority. ‘I send my children to school to get an academic education. The age of consent is there for a reason – to protect our daughters.’

Pray: for young people who face tremendous pressure to be sexually active and for parents to be fully involved in their children’s welfare. (Pr.22:6)
