Hmm. I agree with some of the advice in the column...

Sex is a normal, healthy part of life. This mom is treating anything related to sex as a big no-no. So the girl is "only" 14 - in some cultures she would have been married off at age 12. So I agree that punishing the girl was the wrong approach - mom should sit down with her daughter and talk instead of burying the whole thing.

(I wonder if mom is a little sexually repressed and procrastinated over the birds-and-bees talk for far too long...?)

On the other hand, actively encouraging the daughter by giving her her own dildo is too much.

Also, the parents need to respect their daughter's privacy. Like KappaKittyCat pointed out, she was probably up in her room with the door closed. Parents should *not* be barging in on their 14-year-old!
