Joanne Carroll in the Herald:

The figures make sobering reading. Last year, 134 New Zealand children aged 10 to 14 caught chlamydia. The figure leapt to an alarming 3203 in the 15- to 19-year age group with the infection after contracting it from their mothers.

Really? 3,203 teenage girls caught chlamydia from their mothers?

Were they all from Inglewood?
