***** THIS EMAIL WAS SENT VIA THE INTERNET ***** Hi All Heard on the news this morning that a girl of 14 had approached a Social Worker at school to say she was pregnant. They arranged a process of taking a pill - the first one had already been taken and the mother found out. Reasoned decision was made that the girl was of mature enough mind to enable her to make a reasoned decisin herself without her parents consent.... Just wondered, will the DP get some more flak here?
