Shane said...: The following occurred to me after first reading of this: What is this news item symbolic of - 'the modern family', or 'what's considered to be good TV in Britain'?

Beyond that, I flinch at the paucity of references to the 4+ fathers here.; 5/25/2005 1:56 pm

Rhea said...: Shane - indeed, there is only one reference to one of the "Dads" and that isn't the girls' father(s) either.

Birdie - indeed. I was amazed that the mother blamed the school. I agree that sex education in school is valuable but ultimately parents have to take responsibility for ensuring their adolescents are equipped to make the right decisions in life.; 5/26/2005 1:41 pm
