Alright, I have much to say on this topic, and basically I'm just going to copy the comments I made on Maureen's YouTube video.
So, two mom's in Florida want Maureen's book, The Bermudaz Triagle, moved to the Adult section. Well, from what I've heard from the news, it seems one of the mother's let their 12 year-old pick out some books from the YA section. Do you all know what YA means? Young-Adult. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't consider a 12 year-old a young adult. I also say that if you don't know what your kid is reading, if you really care, check to make sure the book is okay BEFORE they start reading it.
Here is Maureen's video explaining the situation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8aLRBhNUmo&yt

What do you think? Is it an overreaction from the mom's, or do you think the books should be moved? COMMENTS PLEASE, what do you think about all of it?
EDIT:
My comments on Maureen's video (copied):
*Watching Fox video now.* Um, your child should know about sex by their teen years. And in all my years at getting random books from my YA section at the library, I don't think I've ever run across anything really bad (actually there was one....when I was a bit younger....I don't remember much about it). Anyway, libraries KNOW what belongs where. They're good at their job.
If you don't want your kids reading bad books, then check what they read before they read them if you don't know what it is.
I'm sorry, but do you know what YA stands for? YOUNG-ADULT. That's what it means moms. Meaning, NOT 12 year olds. (Side note-they just said Youth section on the Fox news thing. It doesn't stand for YOUTH. That is not what the Y in YA stands for.) I'd think that Young Adult mean, well, at least teenagers, probably high schoolers. It's not the youth section. 12 year olds, go read Lemony Snicket.
"Anywhere a 12 year-old frequents." Frankly, I don't think 12 year-olds should frequent the Young-Adult section.
(I made some other comments, but they aren't that important)
