BERLIN - After severe criticism from
German and Polish parents, medical and psychological
experts the German government's Ministry for Family
Affairs has pulled two booklets aimed at parents of
toddlers and young children which advocated parent-child
sexual massage. In addition to encouraging fathers to
massage their infant daughter's private parts, the documents
encourage unlimited masturbation. (see LifeSiteNews.com

Reported on by LifeSiteNews.com yesterday,
the content of the booklets were first brought to light
in Germany by sociologist Gabriele Kuby. Kuby told LifeSiteNews.com
today that she actually raised the horrific content
of the booklets two and a half years ago in her book
entitled, "Ausbruch zur Liebe". On June 29
of this year the newspaper "Die Junge Freiheit"
published an article by Kuby exposing the booklets again
with an accompanying page-one editorial by editor Dieter
Stein. The news made it to other major German papers
and was also picked up on July 9 by the Polish daily
Rzeczpospolita.
Anna Przymont, a child psychologist,
is quoted in Rzeczpospolita describing the contents
of the booklet as "vulgar and verging on pedophilia."
"There is no doubt that children at that age do
masturbate," Przymon explained. "But if we
allow them to do that, they will keep on masturbating
until they get addicted. This often results in emotional
disorders."
Major media in Germany picked up the
story and television media are now airing the story
nationally. When the facts were presented to the Minister
of Family Affairs Ursula von der Leyen by the mainstream
media, she removed the booklets from circulation. Marc
Kinert, a spokesman for von der Leyen a Minister in
the ruling Christian Democrat Party told the press that
the booklets were "inherited from the previous
government" and that the Minister was unfamiliar
with the contents.
While the Government has now pulled
the booklets encouraging parent-toddler sexual massage,
they have not yet pulled the children's song book which
advocates masturbation for children as young as 4-years
of age. Kuby informed LifeSiteNews.com that tomorrow
another story will be published on the song-book and
she is hoping for a similar result.
In her original article on the subject
Kuby noted that beyond the shocking booklets and song-book,
the German Federal Health Education Center (Bundeszentrale
für gesundheitliche Aufklärung - BZgA) has
in almost all their publications promoted the sexualisation
of children as young as one year of age. BZgA has she
said, been undermining parental authority, equating
homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality with normal
sexual relations and also promoting abortion. She wondered
why the majority of Christians in the nation and the
religious leadership had remained virtually silent about
the atrocities. "It is time to wake up!" she
warned. Kuby told LifeSiteNews.com that she hoped the
raising of the awareness on the issues would stir a
national debate on the dangers of the sexualisation
of children and youth.
