I think about how young they are and hope that they aren't having sex. I hope that they have been educated to know what this means for themselves, their bodies, repercussions, and morally. If the parents aren't educating them, that family, or someone is. The other side though is that for whatever reason, they are choosing to have sex which is a decision they really aren't old enough to be making at such young ages, that they still do need to be protected as this can have lifelong impact as well, were they not protected.
On one hand I see that providing them with protection alone without education can be construed as approving of the decision and behavior, and cannot be condoned. I don't know how this mail order system and campaign has been set up but can see where basically 'send me condoms' in secret to the kids without some guidance could bring a whole host of issues.
