Sex lessons for five year olds?!

http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Sex-Education-For-Five-Year-Old-To-Be-Brought-In-To-Avoid-Child-Dads-Like-13-Year-Old-Alfie-Patten/Article/200903215238060
What on earth is going on in the world for people to think that telling a five year old such intimate and shocking details on life will help avoid thirteen year old dads?!

I agree that there is much more detail needed within sex education to 'clue' kids up a bit better about the consequences. Such as pregnancy and disease. But i think that five is slightly drastic behaviour! I did not know anything at that age and didnt start to gain knowledge on such facts until i was about 10 or 11 which worked perfectly fine for me, as i have not been pregnant.

These teen parents are normally a case of a drunken fumble or just taking that risk hoping 'it wont happen to me' but unfortunately it does.

If you are willing to play with fire, expect to get burnt!
