Parents helpless in face of teen privacy laws

NEW ZEALAND – A young woman's heartbreaking story of her secret abortion and resultant infertility reveals what can happen when schools refuse to inform parents about the reproductive health issues of their under-aged daughters.
Hillary Kieft didn't know that her 15-year-old daughter had become pregnant or had an abortion until the distraught teen attempted suicide, the Daily Signal reports. On the day in question, Kieft's daughter had her school nurse accompany her to an abortion clinic, and then deceive her mother by telling her that the teen had stayed late for an after-school counseling session.
