 4 year olds?  Do you mean 14 year olds?  4 year olds don't get their period, so they cannot have a baby.  4 year old bodies haven't produced any of the hormones to start puberty...not till about 7 y/o.  then puberty comes a few years later.  4 year olds do, unfortunately, are victims of sexual abuse.  they can get STIs, but cannot produce a baby.  I would like to see a study where 4 year olds have ovulated and produced an embryo.
However, I think you make really great points about adolescent sexuality in general.  I just saw this movie, called "Thirteen"  it's really disturbing, but excellent. Anyone interested in adolescent sexuality, substance abuse should see it.  Especially if you're an educator.
