What gets me is the current trend of young female teachers sleeping with 13 and 14 year old boys. And then the slew of people who say it is some male fantasy and woo hoo and other such yells as they grab their crotches and spit.
What the hell? First of all, if it was a 30 year old male teacher seducing 13 year old girls he would fry in a second and rightly so!! Would some male teacher in this predicament get a prime time network interview with Matt freaking Lauer? I don’t think so!
So why give all this attention to these bitches?
The first such story that caught my attention was Pamela Smart. I was too young at the time to get it but I saw the lifetime movie, I am hip to that one. She even had her young lover murder her husband. What a teen will do for some tail these days I swear.
The one that I noticed in recent history was Mary Kay Letourneau. The 34 year old teacher who fell in love with a 13 year old student. An affair that lasted in spite of losing her kids and serving time for her crimes against the minor. They are now married and have kids of their own. Dear Lord, is that not SICK to anyone else? She knew him since he was in second grade. SECOND freaking grade! She was a teacher at his school!
When she later taught him again in sixth grade, their bond grew quickly. She would say later of the 13 year old.. "He dominated me in the most masculine way that any man, any leader, could do. I trusted him and believed in him and in our future."
Knock knock! He’s a CHILD!
After getting pregnant with the child’s child… Mary Kay was arrested while she was 5 months preggo and lost her kids and husband as the shitstorm started.
Mary Kay underwent a series of court-ordered psychiatric examinations. Dr. Julia Moore found that Mary Kay had extreme mood swings and diagnosed her as suffering from bipolar disorder.
Long story short, she gets out of jail and is told not to have any contact with the boy, days later gets arrested while banging him in the back of her car and after being taken to custody learns she is pregnant for a second time by the underage boy. Gets sentenced for seven and a half years. Gets out. Marries the boy (then 18) sells the right to their wedding to Entertainment Tonight and now LIVE off that money today.
Now recently, I happened across the interview Matt Lauer had with Debra LaFave. The 25 year old perky blonde who had an illicit affair with her 14 year old student.
Blaming it all on her bipolar disorder and a rape while she was young. Saying the boy flirted and she returned the affection. He forced her to expose her breasts to another child yet a week later she first had sex with him. Giving him oral sex because ….well he wanted it and she had to please her man or some shit.
Her lawyer during trial made the plea that she was hot, she was young… she HAD to be suffering from Bipolar disorder to commit such a crime. So she got 3 years of house arrest.
*deep breath*
Here is where I get personal folks. Because this shit burns me up.
I am Bipolar. Do I find 14 year old acne ridden boys attractive? Uh…. No.
Well but at least in the case of LaFave, she was mistakenly treated for depression for years, which can make the manic (hyperactive times) worse.. So that must be it.
Wrong again. I was also misdiagnosed for nearly ten years and yes I went through a strange manic phase (my mother calls this the time I “ran away from home at 19”) but again… no sex with kids.
But she was raped at a young age, and Letourneau was molested.
Again, so was I.
My point is… others want to say that these factors are what led up to these crimes that no one else knows because of the certain combination of things and I am telling all of you. I KNOW. And yet, I am not in the least turned on by young boys. So save your sob story for some one else!!
I weep for neither of these women, or any other adult who chooses to have carnal knowledge of a child. They all need the full extent of the law, no matter what gender and how sad their story is.

It’s good to know that if you ever decide to ruin someone else’s life like molesters do, there will always be a lawyer to put on the best darn pony show money will buy.
Apparently it works too.

So they’re claiming that being bipolar (i do apologise, im not 100% sure what that is exactly) is justification for their actions?
Does the concept of right and WRONG mean anything to these women?
Again, I have no real knowledge of bipolar disorder.
But does it take away choice?

Bipolar disorder is where you have both periods of depression and then mania cycling over and over. both extremes. Now the level of the disorder varies person to person but no, it does not stop you from knowing right or wrong though it CAN make you not care. You STILL know however. And it does not take away choice.

So basically these women (and boy do I use that term loosely) are just plain disgusting.

Hey Ronee!!
You know, this stuff burns me up, too. But I take it a step further. I gettired of women (and please do not mistake this as an attack on women), who get to kill their kids. Then get a slap on the wrist becasue of some insanity plea.
OF COURSE THEY’RE INSANE! Why else would they do such horrible things to their kids? I have a beautiful 3 year old girl and the thought of anything happening to her (like what happened in the cases of Andrea Yates or Dena Schlosser) terrifies me.
The very idea of the term ‘Not Guilty by REason of Insanity’, needs to be re-written to read “GUILTY by Reason of Insanity’ and come with harsher penalties.
So endeth my rant....

Its silly that this gets played up as the boys get lucky, but if it were the other way around…
Posted by Stefan Halley on 09/27/2006, 01:19 PM
That’s the part of it that really burns my ass. It’s lucky boys, but if it was girls, then there were molested or raped. It’s same the same damn thing.

All that I can add is that I’ve seen this happen at my high school with both male and female teachers. The one male GYM teacher ended up marrying the girl. I see them around town from time to time and still cannot get it out of my head how the guy was not brought up on charges. The female ENGLISH teacher was more subtle in her ways but I heard the stories of juniors and seniors going to her house. This was about 20 years ago (yes I am that old).
There should not be an insanity plea. There should effin’ definitely not be a “because she’s good looking” plea. Throw them all in the clink and then torch the place. Teachers are supposed to educate us not fornicate with us. If the person has graduated and is legal then that is fine, but this crap about young teenagers has got to stop. More so, now everyone will be distrusting of teachers and the teachers will by gun shy about getting too close to a student.
I suppose we should put the teachers in a room and have them teach by tv. Or, send an education cartridge to the student so they can play it on their Nintendo, Segas, or whatever they have.

Ronee touched me.
Posted by Stefan Halley on 09/27/2006, 02:25 PM
Of course when I saw the title, I though Ronee was talking about her boobies.
Posted by Ronée G Bourgeois on 09/27/2006, 02:26 PM
Yeah well.... I admit I am not as hot as Richard but SOME guys would be okay with me touching them. and at least you are legal.
Posted by Wtfmate on 09/27/2006, 02:27 PM
Richard Gere?
Posted by Stefan Halley on 09/27/2006, 04:04 PM
Richard’s got the guns and he’s not afraid to use them.
Posted by GuyverPrime on 09/28/2006, 12:09 PM
I come under the category of ‘SOME guys’.
Dying happy. It’s all I ask… ;p

*sigh*
Another example of gender bias in America. Yes, it works both ways. Nothing’s perfect, but damn, whether they ‘wanted it’ or not, if the kid isn’t 18 then don’t frickin touch them.

This just in. Ex-Rep. Foley went in to Alcohol rehab when it was found he was sending e-mails to teenage boys. Just another way to say that these people seem to be beyond reproach. He doesn’t have a drinking problem. He’s a freaking creep!!!

We’re encouraged not to be “sexist”, i.e., to treat the sexes alike, these days.
Every case is unique of course, but, in general terms, I’m not sure that it is as harmful for a teenage boy to be “seduced” by an older female teacher as it is for a teenage girl to be “seduced” by an older male teacher. Girls are generally more vulnerable physically and emotionally, and grown men are generally stronger and more forceful than are grown women. It follows that, in general terms, a relationship between a teenage boy and an older female is more likely to be truly consensual than is one between a teenage girl and an older male, or, for that matter, one between a teenage boy and an older male.
I’m certainly not suggesting that it’s something to be encouraged, in terms of the welfare of either the teenage boy or of the older female, but to say that it’s always as harmful or bad as is a relationship with an older male is not necessarily true.

Great article, well written!
