CALLING
ALL CONCERNED FATHERS
The NSW
Parliament has almost passed a bill to lower the age of consent for
boys from 18 years to 16 years. On the surface, this sounds rather
innocuous, but the reality is that this legislation will allow sexual
predators of both sexes free license to prey upon our teenage sons.
Homosexual men in particular, openly admit a predisposition to young
teenage boys. Boys are not allowed by law to join the army, vote for
our parliamentarians, watch R rated movies, buy cigarettes or knives
or be admitted to pubs or clubs under 18 years of age. The reason
we have these laws is because our society rightly recognises that
children are vulnerable and need protections. 16 year olds are vulnerable
to sexual predators as at this age they are still growing and developing
into adult maturity, both physically and psychologically. Why should
they be placed in even greater danger from those homosexuals with
a predisposition to paedophilia? Not to mention the heightened risk
of contracting AIDS, a virtual death sentence.
The media
and parliamentarians have attacked the Governor General, Dr Peter
Hollingworth for failing to protect parishioners from paedophiles.
Peter Hollingworth has admitted his error of judgement publicly but
the NSW Government and parliamentarians who have supported this bill
are perpetuating a far greater error of judgement upon our sons and
daughters. Their hypocrisy is unbelievably disgusting.
The Fatherhood
Foundation urges all concerned fathers and mothers to email or phone
the members of the NSW Upper House, the Legislative Council. Letters
will be too late. Go to www.parliament.nsw.gov.au
for email addresses and phone numbers.
This
bill will be voted on this Tuesday, 27th May. 24, 2003
Your email or phone call could make the difference.
As fathers
we have a duty to protect our sons from sexual predators so have our
politicians. Why don't you tell them?
