A bookmark distributed by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services not only teaches teens and children about HIV and AIDS, it provides a phone number that patches them into a hardcore sex hot line.St. Joseph, Mo., resident Lori Felzien said she found out about the hot line when her sixth-grade son dialed the number printed on a bookmark he received during a health lesson at Bessie Ellison Elementary School.
The boy handed his mother the phone and said, "Mom, listen to this."
Felzien's reaction: "We've got to get these cards out of these kids' hands."
The toll-free number once belonged to Teens Teaching AIDS Prevention, part of the Kansas City-based nonprofit Good Samaritan Project. But the AIDS hot line went out of service about a year ago and a sex hot line has since taken over the number. (more)
