Parents' anger after class of seven-year-olds is shown 'graphic sex cartoon' at school

Students have reportedly been mimicking the actions from the video in the classroom

A mother has taken her seven-year-old daughter out of school after she was made to watch a cartoon showing a couple chasing each other around a bed and having sex.

Seven and eight-year-old pupils watched the controversial Channel 4 sex education DVD, Living and Growing, during a lesson at their village primary school.

The DVD shows the cartoon sex while a voice-over describes it as 'exciting'.

Lisa Bullivant, from Legbourne, Lincolnshire, was so upset by the 'graphic' content that she has taken her daughter out of East Wold Primary School and placed her with another school.

Mrs Bullivant said: 'The cartoon was very graphic. My daughter was frightened and children have unfortunately been copying what they have seen.

'Parents should have been given the decision of whether the video should have been shown or not.

'Seven to nine-year-olds should not possess this knowledge. There is no educational or psychological benefit or need to for children of this age to have full knowledge of what sexual intercourse actually entails.'

The school sent parents a letter saying they could view the film before it was shown to pupils, but Mrs Bullivant and some other mothers and fathers were unable to attend the screening.

She said: 'We had no reason to think we needed to see it. You never think in a million years that would be taught to seven-year-olds.

'We had faith in the headteacher and the school that all they would be learning would be basic puberty. It should have said in the letter children would learn how to have sexual intercourse.'

Mrs Bullivant says the school should have followed the Government's Learning and Skills Act 2000 which states when sex education is given to pupils 'they are protected from teaching and materials which are inappropriate having regard to the age'.

She has complained to the headteacher Lesley Thornes and the school's governors about the decision to show the DVD, and has requested a meeting with the director of education at Lincolnshire county council.

Swine flu vaccination update

Video by

Just over a week ago, I had to visit my doctor. As I sat waiting I couldn't help but notice the steady flow of people coming in for their swine flu jab. As soon as one had checked in, another one entered the surgery.

They were ticked off the list, given a leaflet and told to sit in the queue down the hall. After the jab they were to sit for ten minutes to make sure they were ok before they left.

A woman and her daughter came and sat next to me and I asked her if I could take a look at the leaflet.

NOWHERE on that leaflet did it mention any side effects. The woman said her daughter had to return for a second jab.

I was supposed to have that jab, but I declined. My doctor mentioned it and I said I would rather take my chances. Upon asking him if he was having it, his reply was 'no', but he didn't elaborate.

It tells you something if your own doctor won't take it, doesn't it?

My mother had her jab last week. I asked her to think carefully about it and presented her with a few facts. The next day I received a phone call from my father telling me not to mention it again as I had scared her. He said they 'didn't want to know'.

That, I said, is your problem. You don't want to know about anything, you never question anything.

I noticed in today's paper that over in Northern ireland, children are no longer receiving a double dose.

Children aged between six months and 10 years who do not suffer from underlying health problems will now be given one vaccine dose instead of two.

It is understood there has been a higher rate of fever in young children following a second injection.

The Department of Health sent a letter to GPs outlining the change almost two weeks ago.

However younger patients who have a weaker immune system and are susceptible to viral infections will continue to be given two doses of the vaccine.

Previously, a warning that the swine flu vaccine has been linked to a deadly nerve disease was sent by the UK Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter.

The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, was leaked, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.

It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine. GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.

The letter refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when:

• More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu
• The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times
• The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear
• The U.S. Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected

Concerns have already been raised that the new vaccine has not been sufficiently tested and that the effects, especially on children, are unknown.

This is what Dr Mercola has to say:

In the U.K. the hysteria over swine flu led to flu drugs being offered online, without a doctor’s prescription. This is incomprehensible, considering their risk. Just a couple of weeks ago I reported on brand new study findings that the swine flu drug of choice, Tamiflu, caused one or more side effects in OVER HALF of all children who received it!

Side effects included:

• Nausea – 29 percent

• Stomach pain or cramps – 20 percent

• Neuropsychiatric side effects including inability to think clearly, nightmares, and “strange behavior” – nearly 20 percent

• Sleep problems – 12 percent

The British Medical Association’s lead expert on swine flu went on the record stating that Tamiflu is now being overused.

Keep in mind that, although the swine flu has spread across the world it appears to have decreased in severity. The vast majority of cases are very mild, requiring only a few days in bed.

In fact, the regular seasonal flu is still far worse, and more deadly, than the swine flu.

The intended effect of a vaccination is to help you build immunity to a potentially harmful organism. However, your body’s immune system is already designed to do this in response to organisms that invade your body naturally.

Most disease-causing organisms enter your body through the mucous membranes of your nose, mouth, pulmonary system or your digestive tract. These mucous membranes have their own immune system, called the IgA immune system, which fights off invading organisms at the point of entry, reducing or even eliminating the need for activation of your body’s immune system.

A vaccination, however, delivers either live or attenuated (dead) viruses directly into your tissues and blood stream through injection, completely bypassing your body’s first line of defense. And when combined with an immune adjuvant, your body’s immune system kicks into high gear in response to the vaccination. If your immune system is too weak to deal with the assault, severe side effects can occur.

Injecting organisms into your body to provoke immunity is contrary to nature, and vaccination carries enormous potential to do serious damage to your health.

To emphasize this point further, when ingested, the vaccine adjuvant squalene is actually recognized by your immune system as an oil molecule native to your body. It has antioxidant properties and is found throughout your nervous system and brain.

The difference between “good” and “bad” squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant.

As a result, your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule wherever it finds it, including in places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital to the health of your nervous system.

For more information about squalene, and the hazards it poses when included in flu shots, please review my recent special report on the topic, if you have not already done so.

Please watch the video at the end of Dr Mercola's article, in which the advers effects of the vaccine are discussed, which can be found HERE

Nottingham Riviera

My first thoughts on seeing an article about an urban beach being set up in the centre of Nottingham was ‘Oh dear’, but having thought about it I have changed my mind.

There are many families that can’t afford a seaside holiday. In fact some children have never seen the sea. So, if they can’t go to the seaside, bring the seaside to them.

The Nottingham Riviera will include a pool, bars, a helter skelter, crazy golf and Punch and Judy shows, as well as shops selling rock, postcards and buckets and spades.

Well done to Notts County Council and businessman Edward Mellors for bringing a little happiness into otherwise gloomy, recession hit days.
