DHR
WEB SITES AND TEEN CLINICS MUST BE REMOVED Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue announced today a major reorganization of the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR) and the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) to ensure the safety and well being of children in Georgia. There are many other states that need to stop and realize that children do not have a voice and that they are not as protected today as they used to be before abortion, drugs, and the sexualization of America. According to the Governor of Georgia “these changes will help to redefine the quality of services provided to children in state care and their families. If each church would adopt one family or the children from one family, we wouldn’t need to put children in state care. The reorganization of DHR and DFCS cannot happen soon enough. It is long overdue. I recently witnessed the information on the website for the Georgia Division Public Health/Adolescent Health and Youth Development. I was appalled at what I saw and the links for children and teens to visit. One site was sexetc.org – a national newsletter by teens
for teens. It carried the fall 2003 newsletter. The letter and the
stories for teens and children to Children are encouraged to have sex and in one letter teens were
told they could One page under “Answers To Your Most Common Questions About Sex” promoted masturbation and children are told that masturbation has many benefits. The Georgia Division of Public Health can have no success with abstinence – based reproductive health education as long as children can go to the website, paid by tax payers, and download sexetc.org, the “I Want To Know” site, or visit a Teen Plus Clinics, also paid for by tax payers, and be given condoms, pills, and even injectable contraceptives, plus abortion information. Even though Mechanicsville, Georgia as was featured on the website dropped in teen pregnancy rates, they experienced a sharp rise in STD’s. Many of the contraceptives given to teens protect against pregnancy but offer nothing against STD’s. Why can’t we teach abstinence until marriage only to our children and youth. Abstinence is the only safe protection against pregnancy and STD’s. These DHR websites with information for adolescents are unacceptable not only in Georgia, but in every state. Teen Plus Clinic’s should be eliminated. They provide chemical drugs to teens and sexual information without parental knowledge and at taxpayer expense. Children and youth deserve better.
