90 Girls Pregnant At Memphis High School
http://www.kltv.com/global/story.asp?s=13837102
MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - As Memphis City Schools leaders discuss the best way to deal with the crisis at Frayser High School, one young student is dealing with parenthood.
The Action News 5 Investigators recently discovered 90 girls who attend Frayser High School are now pregnant or have already had a baby this school year.
Frayser is in Memphis City School Board member Stephanie Gatewood's district. She said a former principal of the school first sounded the alarm about the issue about a year ago.

It really is quite unfortunate this is happening, though I can't say I am surprised.
I am thankful they aren't aborting the baby though.

Meaning? 24/7 monitoring? I am not sure that most of the parents aren't approving of sex outside marriage.

Yes. I'm talking about 24/7 monitoring. While my son is currently only 4 years old I know exactly where he is at all times. When kids skip school to "hook up", why doesn't the school immediately contact the parents of absent children???
I believe it should be policy to actually make contact with parents when their child is late or absent.
And sad to say, you're right about many parents.

Well, first most of these kids only have one parent or they are living with their grandmothers.
Second, their mothers are baby-makers too - it's a life-style for them.
