Teachers Who Have Sex with Students, is this a Nationwide Problem
Recently I did a article on Holly Hatcher, she was a High School teacher in Gallatin, Tennessee. She was charged with 3 counts of statutory rape, because she had sex with one of her students. While researching the articles I came across a very interesting web site that had all these statistics about teachers who choose to have sex with students. Teachers who have sex with students is not new to our society and it happens far more then anyone can imagine. I am not surprised with the rate girls and boys are developing. They are having young adult bodies as pre teens, and when they are getting that attention from their teachers who in some cases might be just a few years older than them, creates a problem.
It seems as if those high profile cases take the spotlight, many others that occur are swept under the rug by the mainstream media. While these teachers are satisfying their own hidden fanasys by having sex with these students. The mainstream news primarily reports on women teachers who have sex with male students. When it comes out in the open any teacher accused of having sex with a student is taken off the job, and is suspended with pay. These teachers are suspended with pay during the investigation and are only fired after the investigation is finished. While it may seem outrageous to suspend those teachers with pay, we must remember they are just accused and not found guilty until after the investigation occurs. If you think these crimes of a teacher who choose to have sex with a student, happen, in only one state you are wrong of course, but what state has the most teachers who are pedophiles?
Texas has 74 reports of a teacher who has been accused of having sex with students.
New York has 59,
Florida has 58,
California has 57,
Illinois has 43, and
New Jersey has 41.
As a parent with children in a public school system, These numbers are unbelievable. However, it is important to note that when a teacher is accused of having sex with a student they are removed from the school and have no contact with students. Although if they have managed to have sex and talk after hours, I think that contact really is not the problem. The problem as I see it is a pedophile get to strike again.
