I am new to this discussion and trying to get caught up, so I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but I wonder if police suspect that someone did a "trial run" with the dog before hanging the children?

This is true. I don't really want to name her either, as my husband is a friend of her husband, but she has shared the reward information and a quote from the Sheriff on her facebook page.

I am glad you asked this question. I do NOT think an adult should be held responsible for a child (or someone else's child) stealing something from them. I have mixed feelings about what should happen to a child who does so. Perhaps they should be charged with a minor offense resulting in...

I understand that the majority of teenagers drink alcohol or use other drugs. But imagine how much worse the problem would be if we just gave up and condoned it. If we fail to enforce laws that are on the books for preventing teenage drinking, then we are condoning teenage drinking.

I understand this sentiment. I really do. But as a parent of a teenager who is very vigilant about what is happening when kids are at my home, it is frustrating to hear about parents who are more concerned about being their children's "best friend" than being a decent parent. There is a...

I understand your line of thinking. I too drank as a teenager. There were any number of pervy older guys who were more than willing to buy it for us. But we have to distinguish between the girls' poor choices as juveniles and the totally separate and distinct illegal behavior of an adult...

Thank goodness. I can't imagine being this teacher and knowing my employer puts zero value on my safety and dignity. I hope this teacher resigns and finds a job in a better school district. There is no way this teacher should have to walk the halls and see these students every day. They...

Technically, public shaming of private individuals is against Facebook's "Community Standards," but I find that laughable. https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards# (scroll down and click on "Bullying and Harassment" on the right side) I'm guessing they don't care to police it...

On the petition, 2 completely different names are given for the teacher. I will not state either one of them on yet another forum, but obviously two people are being dragged through the mud and one of them probably had nothing at all to do with it.

Makes me think of Steve Bartman. He had to go into total obscurity. I admire him for not taking any of the "bait" that's been dangled out to him over the past 13 years.

OT -- HMS, I love how you are always making connections! One of my sons is like that too -- I think it is a sign of a great intellect. :)

Thank you for this information and additional perspective. Those signing in support of the teacher are very brave indeed in this age of public vilification! I would not be surprised if they in turn are tracked down and shamed. I do not feel comfortable expressing my opinions online even...

Teaching is very complicated these days with the trend toward complete mainstreaming of students with both physical and cognitive disabilities. It is difficult for regular education teachers to balance the needs of their regular ed students with those of special needs students. Hopefully they...

I hate to admit it, but I always love a good conspiracy theory! ;) And Danny is so easy to dislike. :(

Ummm, nvm.

Interesting theory! Probably unlikely, but not impossible.

It is very sad to watch. :( That being said, my son had a little boy with autism at his school and he said the boy would sing along with the songs for the Christmas program when they were having reheasals, but sometimes he would yell words like "c_cks__ker" and "m_therf____r" at the end of the...
