OSBI: Clinton teacher admits to having sex with student during walkout

[Billybob]

Maybe we should hold other teachers, support staff and administrators who can be shown to have had knowledge of the abuse or misconduct and did not report it, or take action to stop it, to be help criminally liable for their action -- or inaction -- as it may be.

Although I personally believe that the district ought to be held financially liable for any damages associated with the misconduct, such as counseling, medical and psychiatric care, etc. for the student and immediate family members. I'd even consider throwing in financial compensation for families for lost wages and damages incurred to relocate if they chose to do so, rather than keep their child in that environment.

In the Perry case 10 girls reported to a teacher and principal, they were called liars and did nothing allowing more to be abused, they're mandated reporters yet the principal was only charged with one misdemeanor and got probation. It was a teacher that brought the molester into the school as an aid and then teachers left their classes alone with him while they left for personal business without the principals knowledge which was considered acceptable for some reason instead of neglect or dereliction of duty.
In the McCloud case there was a situation where she felt safe from any oversight allowing her to have little girls undressing in class, does the principal never check on classes? And while $1.4Mil. may seem like a lot but that's split to cover the counseling for 14 victims and there are 24 victims in the Perry case.

How is taking money from taxpayers going to prevent children from being molested?

I never said it did but those girls and families will have needs resulting from this.

Dammit, I missed that 10%. SMH

Yeah more of a problem than many think huh?

Have you noticed that all of these teachers that get caught banging students are always women? Wonder why that is? Most of them are ugly but I have seen a few that are hot. We had a couple of teachers when I was in high school that were rumored to sleep with students. But it was a man. And he was a coach. There were a couple of teachers I would have done in a heartbeat though!!

I'm aware. And the way those cases were handled is a travesty of the "justice" system and a disgusting representation of the educational system in Oklahoma. To think that that is the only school this kind of thing goes on in is naive at best and downright stupid at most. Every, single adult involved in that situation should be serving time and come out a registered sex offender. But ... I don't rule the world. Sigh.

I agree with you Annie or at the very least all involved need fired and not allowed to work around children ever.
School systems are screwed up in the way teachers protect the children. even the little things need to be taken care of.

Like bullying . teachers just turn a blind eye.
That could be fixed very easy.. I think with sexual assault or sexual flirting they really turn away not knowing what to do.

Maybe teachers need to sign something after taking a sexual harassment course that states they will be terminated for not reporting and never allowed to work in education system again if caught performing or not reporting.

Something about pretty vs ugly teachers having sex.
There is some kind of beauty in everyone it just may not been seen by everyone the same way.

How is suing a district going to help a child that has been molested. A parent wanting to making money off of their child's pain is criminal.
The teacher needs to go to jail, if the child needs counselling, the district should be held liable for it. If the crime has long term financial results the district should be held liable or ta that too.
I am not so sure the tax payer should be held accountable for the actions of an employee, provided the district had no way of knowimg that there was a problem.

You should really work on that law degree. The parents aren't wanting to make money off of the child's pain. They are trying to make their child whole from the damages they suffered at the hands of the school district. Future counseling, emotional damages, etc.

Where were these teachers when I was in school?

They were there, but probably took a pass on those guys all eat up with the ugly.

 

[Biggsly]

This is why they want a raise straight across the board. Even the bad teachers are out marching for more money. Keep raising taxes, maybe we can fix the problem.....

Yes and knowing that what kind of concern and oversight is there when this is considered ok for a teacher? This is the teacher busted in Yukon a few months back.

12 years of school and I never so much as saw a teacher that hot. That's 10% of all porn plots right there.

In a case like that where the abuse isn't widespread, and assuming a thorough background check was conducted and revealed no prior misconduct, I think the district's liability should be limited to counseling and reasonable accommodations. Quite frankly, were I the 16 y.o. male student, I reckon more emotional damage would be incurred by listening to people attempting to convince me I'm a victim. If THAT is wrong, I don't want to be right! And yes she's still a criminal and what she did was wrong, but the victimization aspect is a big stretch.

In a case like this, there should be a bloodbath in the administration, felony charges on the teacher & principal, and the district should pay through the nose. That's just flat out sticking your head in the sand.
