What a Shame.

That's all the authority can do, patch where it bleed. This incident simply says out high-school students has no knowledge on sex-education. She doesn't realize that 8 months is too late to do the abortion. She and her boyfriend didn't realize how important to have protected intercourse, and certainly the adult doesn't have any channel to help them get tough this unwanted incident anonymously.

One vendor caught, and another thousand to go and another hundred start selling these illegal stuffs everyday. Our population need to be educated and moral need to be planted, somewhere somehow.

This country need a hotline or a clinic that whoever already had unwanted incident happen could just call for some advice. And it could not be just anyone at the end of the line, it should be person with expertise in Child Psychology and Health. this is sensitive issue that needs both prevention measure, counteractive measures and assistant to the needed ones.

Sex-Education for our children, so they know their body, and know what is right and wrong. The research has shown sex-education at young age help curb the number of STDs infection and unwanted pregnancy. We are not drum up to tell them to just have sex but we tell them how to take care of themselves and have them make their own decision. We teach them anything or not, it's going to happen, so we should equip them with knowledge.

Yes I am mumbling  and complaining... I should do something about this.
