Recall a week or so ago I posted a mother's comment about the "Talking about Touching" program the archdiocese of Boston is forcing on the first-graders as their response to the scandal (read: insurance companies). Well here is a new installment from my contact in Boston:
One mom just called me in tears because for the last few weeks her 6 year old son has been markedly less affectionate and when he again refused to kiss her goodbye yesterday she asked why. He told her repeatedly that "it is not appropriate". He also has been displaying a very strong fear of strangers of any kind even though his mom is close at hand. He has always been a very warm, outgoing, happy, trusting little guy.
This is sad and an outrage. But parents need to be aware of what's going on. If every parent in the Catholic schools (or if even 50%) opted out and protested, these programs would quickly die. Some parents are seeing results of these programs immediately, like this mom. Others will see the result down the road.
God have mercy on us!
