PARENTAL PERMISSION REQUIRED FOR ASPIRIN BUT NOT ABORTION (Letter to Dom Post, May 6)

Parents, says Australian cyber-safety expert Brett Lee (School bans anonymous message app, May 6), have the right to know who their children are talking to and where they’re going. Well, of course.  

Except, that is, when they’re talking to school nurses or counsellors about going to an abortion clinic. Parents don’t have the right to know that. But after her abortion, if a teenager wants aspirin for the pain, then the school has to get the parent’s permission. For the aspirin, that is.

 I kid you not.
