How well do you know your kids - a cautionary tale

This lunchtime I bumped into an old friend of mine - one we've not seen for a year or so. After a while the conversation turned to his children and our jaws dropped to hear that his fifteen year old daughter has left home and is pregnant. Very surprised at this I said to my friend that I'd have thought that his kids were the last I'd expect this to happen to.

"Yes" said he "that's what we thought".

Parents, never assume that no harm can befall your children...
