I think both the teenagers and their parents need educating, but it is a wider issue than that too.<BR/><BR/>CJ, I'm not saying that no teenager would be able to cope with a disabled child, I know some older teenagers can and do with family support. But a 15 year old? I'm not so sure and just imagine what the media would make of it all.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103529618681254875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619589.post-22868013271167567312009-02-17T20:01:00.000+00:002009-02-17T20:01:00.000+00:00Cathy, what a very very good question.

Perhaps by giving the children, or young teenagers, something to do instead of letting them think about sex.<BR/><BR/>And as I watched the program, I thought about the very same thing you have mentioned here - what would happen if that child born to these desperately young kids was to develop autism, or indeed any such condition warranting what we, as parents of special needs children, are having to go through. You have to wonder whether there would be much hope for the little mite. Personally, I doubt it.<BR/><BR/>CJ xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619589.post-67978945525417088792009-02-16T17:29:00.000+00:002009-02-16T17:29:00.000+00:00It's hard to know where to start with this one isn...It's hard to know where to start with this one isn't it? Parenting classes are a great idea, but I think you're right that they're probably largely preaching to the converted.HelenMWaltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182100572365505905noreply@blogger.com
