Re: In today's news...
Well, yeah, it sucks to be the teacher, but she DID do a stupid thing. She knows the laws, she knew what would happen, but she still let it progress too far, too fast.
Anybody 10 years younger than you is 'Jailbait'; no matter how they feel towards you, unless they're of age, there's a giant DO NOT TOUCH sign on them. Hell, the teacher even said they should wait, but then she still went ahead and let something happen anyways.
Now more on the parents. The mother said her daughter was, "thriving and happy for the first time in a very long time."
If the girl was happy, what's so wrong about being a lesbian, or as the parents put it, being "deprived of the opportunity for the normal development of sexual relations"?
Yeah, this does reek of mis-justice, and I place almost all the blame on the parents, who are apparently anti-gay homophobes, but the teacher isn't completely innocent either.
