Teenage Girls Receive Birth Control Implant at School Without the Knowledge of Parents
This procedure was carried out by nine schools to bring down the number of underage pregnancies.
Parents have strongly condemned this act by the schools, and many parents are ignorant that their daughters have received the 4cm implant under the skin.
The implants were fitted by NHS experts in Southampton.
NHS Trust has supported this action taken by schools and have said this exercise has led to a 22% drop in teenage pregnancies in Southampton. Apparently, intimation to parents regarding the plan of fitting an implant was sent via letters in 2009.
