"Rumors of the affair got back to the cousin's mom, who told the 14-year-old victim's mom.

The boy confessed and allowed cops to eavesdrop on a phone call in which he asked LaFave if he should wear a condom when they had sex."

It sounds like he became afraid that he'd be in some trouble and decided to make sure she took the fall for everything, which she would have, regardless.

Now the question is, how hot is the 14-year-old? I want to know if I have a shot at this.

If it were a male teacher and a 14-year-old boy, everybody would be looking to lynch the teacher. Likewise if the teacher was male and the CHILD was female. Why should this be any different?

Once you become 18, you magically can make proper choices and not be strongly coerced into sex, like you could be at 17 and under.

Now, I personally think something is wrong with her, and she should lose her job for being involved with a student, but I don't think all charges against her are truly just, unless it can be proven that she forced him into this.

I think most of the problem with young people with their hormones ON not being mature enough to handle a relationship is that we're *expecting* them not to be mature enough to handle a relationship, and not teaching them the skills they need to handle one, just letting them find that out by trial and error.

So of *course* they're not mature enough to handle an adult relationship.

And teenage "children" having relationships with adults is going to remain happening here and there as long as teenagers have raging hormones.

...Of course, a parent can't really teach a preteen how to have a functional relationship when they're a teenager when the parent doesn't know how to have a functional relationship themselves...

I love the "protect the kids" adults more than anything for their refusal to accept the fact that there are "Children" who by thirteen are already sexually active. He was a moron for ratting out his very attractive lover, she was a moron for wanting a fourteen year old and his mom is a moron for having to be told by another student's mom about the affair.

PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR OWN KID, idiot.

I'lll tell you what happened, Young teacher, the subject, a school boy's fantasy... everyone at school, in the neighborhood knows and gossips about it for a few good months before telling mom. Mom, embarrassed beyond recognition at her failure at parenting gets the poor woman arrested.

More cases than not it's *NOT* about the welfare of the "child" it's about how the parent feels they are being perceived by their community.

(And to all of the "What if it were your child?" people I have only one comment: How old were you when you became sexually active and what is the largest age difference for your previous relationships? If you can answer honestly that you were over eighteen and always in the same year of birth you can b*tch, if not: shut one or both of your faces.)

You dumb, stupid, stupid, dumb, retarded people. (two posts above excluded) This kid is the luckiest & stupidest kid EVER, the chick is the hottest teacher EVER, and people who think that the kid was sexually assaulted or battered in any way are deserving of the biggest ass-beating EVER. You're the reason why Little Bush is in office and the economy still sucks dog-dick. Especially you women, you're all dumb and have no right to talk about any of this. Shut the fuck up about all that "not mature emotionally for sex" bullshit, you women are the ones that made up that whole sex=emotional attachment equation, not us. For men who's innocence your Oprah and menopausal sex-magazines haven't corrupted yet, LOVE & AFFECTION=emotional attachment, and sex=just giving the bitch a pearl necklace. And I don't know when women hit their groove sexually (I think it's somewhere in their mid-30s), but healthy men are ready to fuck the living daylights out of anything that moves by the time they're 14. I lost my virginity when I was 16, and I regret having lost it 4 years too late. I think I would have turned out more well-adjusted and less sex-addicted if I'd had lost it earlier. And teacher sex? Shit, that would have been manna from fucking HEAVEN when I was in junior high and high school. There were teachers that weren't even a TENTH as hot as that chick that I would fantasize about boning. Women have a completely different sex drive than men (or lack thereof), so they should really shut their fat stupid mouths and quit "sympathizing" with that "poor child". And yes, that goes for you bitches with 14 year-old kids too. Let you in on a little secret: There's about a 40 percent chance that Junior's got his dick wet already. Now would you rather your kid's first time be with an inexperienced, ugly young chickie that doesn't know what a condom is and has your kid's baby before sophomore year, or a hot-as-hell older woman who knows the ropes and can show him the best time ever? (Yes, even better than last Christmas, or the crappy cake you baked him for his 14th birthday that you thought was the best bakery ever when really no one complained for fear you'd have another pre-menstrual episode)
And men who want to see the Teacher of the Year go to jail should just get the operation because they already talk like they have a pussy. Do ANY of you remember what it was like being a teenager at all? DO YOU? Before all the self-help tapes, soul-crushing employers and male-pattern baldness? Think back Skippy, there was a time when your jimmy could knock a hole in a 2x4, even before the Viagra and the expensive holistic alternative Chinese herbal Ginseng Yuppy therapy. You would have ridden that ass 'till next week. Still, I think even you rich, dumb Republican morons would know better than to rat her out, thus spoiling your supply of endless "after-school specials". Which is why this kid is definitely the stupidest, shittiest little bastard ever to be personally touched by the Hand of God.
As for the teacher (again, women can kindly shut the fuck up), that chick deserves a medal. I'm sure there are millions of teenage boys out there that were losing hope, thinking that, with all the terrorist attacks, Mid-East strife, energy crises and Dick Cheney's finger on the nuclear button, they might die before ever tapping their favorite teacher. Now this woman has given them all a reason to cling to life again and hope for a better tomorrow. I'll bet that "mysteriously" teenage male suicide rates are gonna take a steep drop after this incident gets more publicity.
And, as Colin Quinn so eloquently voiced his opinion on this on the last episode of Tough Crowd and I agree and will reiterate, at least she gave a good, honest reason for fucking the kid: "Because it was sooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaad" (paraphrased, cooing implied) As opposed to Clinton's reason for adultery, "because I could". One of those reasons is honest and hot, the other one is dodgy and smells like it's just been in a fat chick. Guess which is which.
This country loves to crucify people for victimless crimes because the people who prosecute these crimes are inevitably from Texas, have rich oil/CIA families and an IQ under 60. This IS a victimless crime (hushbitcheshush), the woman deserves nothing more than a repremand from her administrator telling her to watch where she spreads it, the parents deserve to sit down and shut the fuck up and quit pressing charges on chicks just because your kid is a shit and because the chick who's getting charged is probably 1000x hotter than the jealous fat, couch-ridden, pork-faced mother, and the kid should have his face curb-stomped ala "American History X", because he's so fucking retarded.
I don't know why the just don't make ME the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. I would know which cases to prosecute and which cases should only be prosecuted on the Lifetime Channel, I wouldn't need gay lil' gold stripes to let people know who's boss, and -I- can still get it up. 'Nuff said.

For me, I'm gonna write a disjointed sarcastic post, because I don't want my kids fucking hot teachers, and also because I have no penis.

she rapd him by force thats why she said he will never trust women again not long though she no doubt did it with the judge not long from now shell rape other kids in schools for boys and its al legal. why cause the boys mom made it legal for her sun to be raped by not forcing her to go to jail.

I had sex with a teacher when I was in high school and honestly I have no regrets about it. The relationship was relaxed and open and the sex was quite enjoyable. I'm not scarred or hurt by it in any way. I was a littel older than 14 though, which even I agree may be be a bit too young.
