The NY Regularly News reports that the non-profit Community Health Network who created the videos received more than $560,000 over five years to pelf safe sex education campaigns. $15,000 was used for the video moulding.
Assemblyman Rafael Espinal agrees that the videos “capture the realities of what is circumstance in inner-city neighborhoods like the ones I represent.” But he also says some of them “shouldn’t be available to children under 13,” he said. “The language is too raw.”
A spokeswoman for Grandeur Sen. Marty Golden who referred to the videos as “alarming” and that they “advocated for safety-deposit box sex in a roundabout way.”
Yet reports estimate that over 50% of city teens are already having sex. Do they deliberate on these ads broadcast anything they haven’t already heard in school? I highly disquiet it. On the contrary, I tend to think the ads are tame in comparison.
The website writes that these videos were created to “empower juvenile people to make positive decisions, create social variety, and reduce the rates of teen pregnancy, STD’s and HIV.
