It is a crime, a felony and it warrants serious jail time.
A lot of discussion and ink recently over the Debra LaFave case (the teacher who had sex with her student) has prompted the state of Florida to add an educational overview to teachers "urging educators not to have sex with students." According to a 2004, Department of Education study, 9.6% of children grades 8-11 reported unwanted sexual contact by a teacher. If you stop and think about it, one child is one too many. It makes me wonder how many other cases have gone unreported. This past week, yet another teacher confessed to having sex with a student. I'm certain that the legal system will demand jail time in this case. Just think if he were as attractive as LaFave he could plea out using the "bipolar" defense strategy. Teachers are the new sexual preditors/molesters in what use to be the safest place for our children. Because they have a college degree, society looks upon them as making a bad decision. It is a crime, a felony and it warrants serious jail time.
