Female teacher at Houston school suspended
Filed under: Teens, In The News, Day Care & Education
Have you noticed an increase of news reports lately of stories about female teachers having sexual relationships with teenage boys? Wednesday, a 42-year-old female teacher in Houston was suspended and arrested after she was caught (CAUGHT!) by the principal with one of her students. This is the third incident at that school.I would never try to get inside the head of a pedophile, because clearly their brains do not function the same as most of us. However, I can't help but think about it sometimes. What in the world is appealing to an older woman about a teenage boy? This woman was 42 years old. Of course it isn't about the same dynamics as a regular relationship, but doesn't it make you wonder about these crazy women?
It scares me, too, because I have a teenage son. Teachers play an influential role in children's lives and it sickens me when they take advantage of that power they have over children. I really have very little to say about this case because I have a problem even watching the news reports on our local news. The school sent home a letter to the parents (link) informing them of the incident. Personally, I think I would probably go into meltdown mode if my son brought this letter home.
The whole series of events begs the question: Can I lock my son in his room until he's 30?

Eddie said...What does being good looking have to do with anything?? Teenage boys, just like most older men, will nail any female as long as she's willing, and sometimes if she's not. An adult female having sex with a kid under 18 is just as wrong as a pedophile having sex with a 5 year old boy or girl. It's all sick and they should ALL be given the maximum punishment.

enaid said...Is there an adult alive that doesnt know it is wrong to have sex with
a child? As soon as they attempt to hide the relationship this is
evidence that they know it is wrong. So I cant imagine "meetings" as
an affective deterent. And what is it more fun to do it so openly in
the school building? It's just crazy.

Becky said...You guys are nuts. NO I do not think that what she did was appropriate at all. But it isn't as though the kid was 12. He was 16! Show me ONE 16 yr old boy that will turn down a BJ. She should be punished-yes. But now, with it in the paper and all over the school, THAT will cuz a lot more damage to a kid than getting a BJ. Loretta Lynn was married at 13. 3 of my aunts, at 16. These aren't exactly babies. I have 2 grown boys and a 16 yr old daughter. I would not advocate any of that for them, (especially my daughter) but you can hardly call them babies once they're developed. God did NOT make a mistake and never does. He intended reproduction early, whether we think it's good or bad. So though it is very wrong and inappropriate, I'd hardly call it *child molestation* with a 16 yr old. Had he been a classmate of my sons, they would've been jealous..

Bill said...Man I just don't undrstand it. When I was a kid in school you never heard of teachers having sex with students? I think both teachers and students must have been a little smarter back then. I mean come on....what an incredible thing to have your teacher give you a bj for doing good on a test!! Talk about positive reinforcement, I probably would have been a brain surgeen. Hey, if the Japanese mother's can suck their son's pee-pees then what's the harm in a little extra special reward from the teacher? In my opinion, that teacher is giving 110% to the community.

Kuuipo said...That is just so vile and disgusting! I think more parents need to be aware that there are definitely pedophiles out there everywhere and that also includes their children's schools! And parents, be aware of any changes your child is exhibiting! I don't care how old your child is because it is your job! Always keep an open communication between you and them! Never assume that they are exaggerating or that they are just merely going through some "normal" teenage stuff! The signs can be trouble!

Is a lightning bolt coming after me now? Don't use your church as a crutch; it makes you look like an idiot.

denny said...I am a PO and I have dealt with sex offenders for the past 25 years...Stiffer punishments do not deter the sex offender of children...they are subject to "LIKE" this type of sexual deviance...they cannot be cured as far as I am concerned and they WILL reoffend as soon as they are out from under the watchful eyes of the system...NO matter how much and strict they are watched they WILL find a way to get their "fix" with children...this is now becoming an epidemic and it is out in the open so that the public can scrutinize....Stiffer penalties can be imposed but they have "rights" under the US laws...(the only right that they should have is to face the families of these victims and let them "sit" with the offenders for an alotted amount of time....that should help deter these maggots from ever thinking of offending with a child or anyone against their will......yeah, the families should equalize their 'playing field'....Got my vote before it goes on the ballot...how about you???

That was a stupid comment about what a 42 year old woman sees in a teenage boy. I mean, come on. Let's see -- young, virile, in prime shape...

Lisa said...You ask what an older woman (adult) see in a teenage boy?! It's called SEX!! That is what they see in the teenage boy. Teens are just one big sex hormone. So the adult women are just wanting sex, period!!! It's not a true love relationship. It's nothing but sex and all about the sex.
I am not saying it's right, I am just saying it's about the sex.

Kuuipo said...No adult has the right to have any sexual contact with an underage child period! That is where some of you seem to have trouble drawing the line! Some of you basically think it's okay of which the behavior itself is not! A child does not know that it is wrong for a grown up to take advantage of them! And it is wrong for an adult to tell the child to not tell anyone of their secrets! Any adult who thinks that getting away with this kind of behavior needs to be locked up! There is no excuse in this whatsoever!

Lisa said...BECKY, so you think God wanted us to have babies early and intended it to be so. Well, how come then there is 2 incidences of women late in years having a baby in the bible?!
