Parents should NOT tell their children what is 'right or wrong' about having sex, say ministers

This, after just last week we saw a child fathered by a child when he was only 12. So many parental rights and responsibilities are being usurped. Why on earth should a child NOT be taught the difference between right and wrong? If parents and family don't help form the conscience of a child, who will? If we don't "train up our children in the way they should go" we can't complain when they get seriously hurt by the 'if it feels good it must be good' culture.

No parent in their right mind would feel it wasn't up to them to teach a child how to cross the road. We would consider them negligent and unfit if basic road safety wasn't taught. Sex in the wrong context can be exceedingly damaging with consequences that affect generations.

Look where we have come to. We have Tower Block Tracey with her six kids by an assortment of Guest Fathers. It is that situation that is at the heart of teen gang formation and a host of related social ills such as crime, drug taking, prostitution, school failure, deprivation and a dependency on Benefits. Just think about it a bit and you'll piece it together. Tolerance has gone too far and now there are grave problems as a result.

We can't shirk our duty and stay silent and represent ourselves as Christian at the same time.
