Halloween (and fortunately, all the Nestle Crunch bars in my house) are long gone. But people are still stewing over a situation in Oregon, where a couple handed out condoms to children who came trick-or-treating at their door ...
TIME reports that Kathleen and Daniel Harris of Silverton, Oregon, decided to use Halloween as a chance to teach kids about safe sex. Kathleen told her local paper, the Statesman Journal, that she's been handing out condoms to kids on Halloween since the early 1990s. Her husband, Daniel, is a doctor at Silverton Hospital and says he has delivered 140 local babies over the years, about 10 percent of them to teenage mothers.
Not everyone was thrilled with the free sex ed: "It is hard for me as a parent to imagine any justification for giving children condoms without parents' consent," one father told the Statesman Journal, after discovering the paper bag containing three condoms in his 14-year-old daughter's stash of candy.
What do you think? Was this couple doing the right thing or is this safe sex gone bonkers? (I think I'd vote for the latter!)
P.S. More health controversies: Should this alcoholic caffeine beverage be banned? Some say it's dangerous. And, the scary thing surgeons are doing to people's tongues to help with weight loss...
