Condoms for FIRST Graders?
Yes you read that correctly, but I'm still trying to figure it out myself.
A Massachusetts's Elementary School is implementing a policy to hand out condoms to their students, even 1st graders, starting this fall.
I think this is absolutely crazy. As a mother of a 3rd grader I don't want the school having the ability to give my daughter a condom just because they will counsel her before doing so. And the fact that the policy does not require the school to contact the parents is even more reason to get my blood boiling. Yes a comment on this issue from one of the board members saying there is no set age as to when sexual activity begins is true, but it still is no reason for elementary schools to hand out condoms.
How about if the school notices something are is confronted by a student then they call the parents and leave it up to the parents to make the decision on the minor in their custody? How about we as parents take notice of what our children are doing and talk to them about the risks, dangers, etc...?
I'm having such a difficult time processing this and why this new policy would even pass. Just unbelievable! Right now I could not be happier to be living where we are and having my children in the school they are in.
Your thoughts...share them with me just click on the word email to the left of this article.

You have to check these out
Times have changed and you can definitely tell that is the case after viewing the rest of the ads from the past. Really what were the advertisers thinking? Check them out. Have fun!
Just Say NO!
Yes, my children (especially my son) can be challenging and yes I would like them to really just rest sometimes, but give them a sippy cup of wine to accomplish this no. Of course this did happen in Atlanta where a 41 year old babysitter gave a 9 month old wine in his sippy cup to make the child fall asleep. The child's grandmother came home to find the baby in a lifeless state and when taken to the hospital was found to have a blood alcohol level of .33. Just to put that in perspective that is more than 4 times the legal limit for adults. Yes the baby did survive thank goodness.
This incident happened in 2009 and the babysitter confessed and was sentenced to 8 years in prison and 4 years of probation.
