What a player. Oh damn, she was only 15 eh... that's a little too young, personally I only go for ages 16 to 55 .

If someone doesn't want to leave my property at my command, I would hit them with a baseball bat too.

I do not disagree with the use of force when force is necessary, but I am pretty sure that my shotgun would do a better job and I would not have to do anything other than pump the action to pop one live shell out to show it is live loaded while someone else in the house called the cops. There are usually better alternatives when your life is clearly not in danger.

Well, this is clearly a true thing that actually happened...

...A teacher, in my so humble opinion, should not be communicating with a student outside of school hours. If they so desire to talk with my daughter about something, then they can do that either through myself or my wife, or with all of us present.


...But, a 43 year old teacher and a 15 year old girl.... ewwwwww.

There is good reason for me not wanting to touch a high school Athletic Training position with a 50 foot poll. I would not even want to think about what would happen to me if I ignored the flirtings of a 15-17 y/o female (or male for that matter now a days). There is one boy who posed as a girl and got 30 guys to send him naked pics and then used them to blackmail some of them into having sex with him

They say teenagers don't know what they are doing. Bah! They know exactly what they are doing and the laws surrounding this issues need to be revisited urgently.

In our house, we have two rules....

1. no dating till you are 18
2. no dating till you are 18

lol my parents didn't want me going out with any guys until i was older either. so they set up rules too. did they work? well...i let them think they did.

Both my wife and myself remember what it was like being a teenager.

Do we expect our daughter to follow the rules, of course we do. Are we so naive to think she will at all times? Of course not.

That is why we are involved in her life and hope we are teaching her a sense of right/wrong, and what not in order to make good decisions. Will she always make good ones? Of course not, how else is she going to learn?

But we will be there to help guide her and support her. Or something like that.

And if I remember correctly, attacking an uninvited person on your property with appropriate force isn't assault but self defense (at least where I live).

How the hell is even a single one private message between a teacher and a pupil "not inappropriate"?

That teacher should never again be allowed to even look at a school from a distance!



Also, hinting that the teacher was apparently seduced by that lewt 15 year old girl, yeah, sure!

When was the last time you worked around teenagers? I did not say seduced. I imply blackmail. A teenager can be sexually attracted to an adult. Ask any educator in a juvenile detention center how devious this 'kids' are and what they, the teachers, are actually allowed to bring into the facility. Remember these kids used to be in regular schools.

I can easily ignore advances from juveniles and have been doing it for close to 2 decades, but if you cross paths with one of the sick/criminally minded kids you are screwed, pun intended, at the accusation. Any guy that would go to his administration with complaints of a student making advances is already in the hot seat and at risk of losing their job, and again if you do not think so I am not sure what else to say.

Also, with the connected nature of our population you should not be surprised how many teachers are in regular contact with their students via, Facebook, twitter, and any of the other social apps outside of school hours. I see and hear it all the time from good and solid students. The problem is worse with students with less than stellar raising's or mental health issues. If you have friends that are teachers you should talk with them about how things are. they may startle you a bit.

I am not unaware a kid might be sexually attracted to an adult. Or raising false accusations. Hell, in times like these, every male should record any (sexual) encounter with a female, just to be on the safe side in case of "****" accusations.
I am also aware that there are always two sides of a coin. The C&P subsection of this forum alone almost daily provides examples of accusations of "corp thieves" or whatever that tend crash spectacularly once the accused offers his point of view.


Still, the fact remains that: a) The teacher has sent the girl private messages and b) went to the girls house.
No matter what the circumstances are, that poses a problem for someone who is in a relationship of authority as exists between a teacher and his student.

Also having modern communication technology as an excuse for being forced to socialize doesn-¦t cut it; no one is forced to use them or "add someone as friend" or whatever.
Perhaps this is some American thing I am not aware of, but elsewhere it is actually considered a professional behaviour to keeping a distance when in a relationship of authority with someone.
