CARROLLTON, Texas - When Rose Schifferdecker opened a book from the children’s section of the Carrollton library, she couldn’t believe her eyes. She said it describes sex.
The Carrollton mother babysits three young children. She took them to the library about a month and the 9 year old picked out a book titled, “My Mom’s Having a Baby.”
At the time, Schifferdecker said she didn’t think anything of it.
“I told the kids, ‘Go ahead. Everybody get three books each,’” she said. “I've always felt it was safe. Go ahead. Get what you want."
It wasn’t until she got home that Schifferdecker realized what was inside the book.
“I was just shocked, shocked at what I saw and then what I read. It was unbelievable to me that it's considered a children's book,” she said.

**I don't get it, what ever happened to parents talking with their children? Now it seems the parenting is done by the internet, T.V., and books such as the one in this article!
Here's my two cents worth -
First of all, as a parent you have to take responsibility for your children. The mother should have opened the book and read through it 'before' taking it home.
Also, in my humble opinion, the library shouldn't have it in the 'children section' - I'm guessing that the book was intended for parents to read with their children at an age appropriate time.
