Well, looking at the original article, just remember it was about DC. The level of social disorganization there is rather high, and it is quite likely that some of the children do not have parents who are sober enough to talk about anything coherently. Much less pay attention.
Speaking of disorganization, I remember when my stepfather, who was drunk most of the time anyway, got even more drunk and tried to talk to me about sex and "the thing I run water through". Useless. That was about 60 years ago, and I still get furious whenever I think about him.
I also remember when I was driving my kids home from school and the DJ made a joke about somebody who went to a taxidermist because his two horses died. The taxidermist said, "You want them mounted?" And the guy said "No, side by side is OK." My kids demanded an explanation of that joke, and they got it. I don't remember their ages, but they had already had some education on the subject.
