MP's war on underage sex - Parenting - AOL Lifestyle

The UK has the highest number of sexually active children aged 15 and under in Western Europe, an MP claims.

Angela Watkinson, Tory MP for Upminster, wants to give parents rights to know before their child has an abortion or contraception.

Although this may be seen as an invasion of privacy for children, the fact is that they are children so perhaps parents should be informed.
