Sexuality and Latchkey Children.

Long, Thomas J.; Long, Lynette

Peabody Journal of Education, v64 n4 p173-82 Sum 1987

The long hours that latchkey children are alone make them sexually vulnerable and provide them with increased opportunities to participate in sexual activity. Their sexual development is as likely influenced by peers, older siblings, television, movies, and books as by their parents. (IAH)
