I am sure there is more to this story. Occurring over the summer and not reveled to Fall. Sounds like a student / teacher relationship that went wrong.

Maybe the privacy of the teenage victim is more important than your interest in salacious details

There is no such thing as a consensual relationship between a student and a teacher, or between any child and an adult. It's always abuse.

Yes, it sounds like it did go wrong. The teacher didn’t act responsibly, he too could have stoped the texting if it was not appropriate or reported it too school officials. Instead he crossed a line that shouldn’t happen in this type of relationship.

To "interesting" ... your speculative scenario which avoids any responsibility of a teacher preying on a student says more about what sort of person you are than it says about the teacher or esp about the student. What "went wrong" is the teacher pursued his student and not only that but the student is minor. We're talking statutory rape if he'd "had his way with her". As for you, I hope you don't have kids; I hope you are not a teacher. Stay away from young people, please.

I'm proud of the student for coming forward regarding the inappropriate texts. It's disheartening that we expect our children to be "safe" in school and not exposed to these situations and then something like this happens in our community.
