GRIM NEW EVIDENCE OF REASONS FOR PARENTAL NEGLIGENCE (Letter published, abridged, in Dom Post, January 9)

The one glimmer of hope afforded by your front page story (Way boys treat girls 'takes leap backward', Jan 6), is that it must surely silence the sex-ed in schools cabal. Anyone with common sense always knew where that would take us, but social media have accelerated descent to levels not merely ‘inappropriate’, to quote Former Secondary Principals’ Association president Patrick Walsh, but truly deviant.
 

Studies exist which give grim new evidence of the major reason for parental negligence, the reason why parents of children sharing porn on social media are ‘not even concerned’. In 2002 the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry reported that abortion may negatively affect bonding with subsequent children and disturb mothering skills. The Elliott Institute says abortion is linked with poor maternal bonding with later children.
 

Physiological evidence and clinical experience show the maternal relationships of women who abort seem at high risk of dysfunction and/or dissolution. The situation is grave indeed, but like some parents in responding to their children’s sexual misconduct, it seems we’re too busy to deal with it.
