Teacher sends student inappropriate texts. Daddy gets pissed and hits him with a baseball bat. - Polidicks

[quote][B]A Maryland dad likely won't see any charges after he struck a local teacher with a baseball bat. Police say the dad saw a series of texts on Thursday between the 42-year-old teacher and his daughter, a 15-year-old student. The girl's mother deemed them "inappropriate for a teacher and a student" to be sharing, News Net 5 reports. Investigators didn't agree and never charged the teacher with a crime, but the situation took a downturn later that day when the unidentified teacher showed up at the girl's house.[/B] He wanted to speak to the girl's father, but was told to leave, CBS local reports. When he refused, the dad reportedly whacked him with a baseball bat. The teacher sustained minor injuries. Police arrived at the Nottingham home at about 9:45 p.m., but the teacher didn't press charges. The Crimes Against Children Unit continues to investigate, according to The Baltimore Sun. The department said it won't release the names of the girl and her parents.[/quote] [url]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/08/dad-hits-teacher-baseball-texts-sent-to-daughter_n_5468998.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular[/url]

Its understandable that the names be witheld, but I'm curious as to what was deemed innapropriate. Teachers and students really shouldn't have each others personal numbers regardless.

don't see anything wrong here. the teacher didn't press charges.

I can see this going either way, like the texts truly were innocent but the parents found it way inappropriate for him to text their daughter, thus why investigators didn't see anything they could charge him with. Then the teacher shows up to explain his side of things and apologize, but the dad doesn't want to hear it. I can also see this being exactly what the parents think is happening but the teacher was "smart" about his texts, leaving little evidence for investigators to go on, shows up at the house to "explain" himself and gets his ass whacked.

I know that it sounds creepy but without seeing the texts or the teacher's perspective I can't really draw any conclusion from this Article doesn't tell very much

It was never awkward or lame, we had a shared interest and were chill enough to hang out. I learned more in his class than I did in most other classes.

I think it's weird for a 42 year old man to be texting a 15 year old girl about anything other than homework.

You'd get shit on if you attempted that today as a teacher.

[QUOTE=Crash155;45065313]I think it's weird for a 42 year old to be texting a 15 year old at all[/QUOTE] what is wrong with texting what because someone is 40 they can't talk to or god forbid ~chill out~ with a 15 year old? also this assumption that if a 30-60 year old talks to anyone under 18 they are being creeps has to stop. not that you specifically said that, but I'm sick of it. I really don't want to turn 40 and go chill out in a park with a nephew and be called a sicko or something.

[QUOTE=Crash155;45065313]I think it's weird for a 42 year old to be texting a 15 year old at all[/QUOTE] Some of the teachers here add students to FB and text them, like if they're honor students, or they need help with homework often. Online classes especially have this.

[QUOTE=Matthew0505;45065996]Yeah screw those parents who text their children, fucking pedos.[/QUOTE] Screw all older family members too! Clearly they are pedos that want insest!

When I was 17 I woke up one day to find I had a text from three in the morning. It said, simply, "It's sexi barry txtb". My friends, of course, encouraged me to try and strike up a text conversation. Thinking of the kind of person a sexi barry might enjoy, Sexy Stacii was born. He asked me how old I was, I replied "17 and up 4 it" - a half-truth, of course. He told me he was 43. A few brief phone calls were had, helped along by a girl repeatedly moving a mascara brush in and out of the ink vessel in order to simulate some sort of sexual sound. Backstories and other fictional characters were invented, such as Stacii's hard boss, or her geography teacher, whom she hates because he constantly looks down her top. Then he started trying to call me 5 or 6 times a night. Luckily he was two counties away, and I eventually came clean and he never spoke to me again.

[quote]Police arrived at the Nottingham home at about 9:45 p.m., but the teacher didn't press charges.[/quote] Of course you didn't. The charges would just backfire and you'd lose your job and probably go to prison. Inappropriate texts to a student (for one, teachers are not to socialize with their students in any way), and refusing to leave private property after being told to leave. Doesn't look so good for you.

We had an AP (like college-ish level classes) american history class that was involved in a big competition - we'd go to the teacher's home and practice (we were 11th and 12th grade, granted) and stuff. We all shared texts to organize study sessions and such. I guess without knowing what was actually sent I don't think anyone can judge one way or another. At least it didn't come to a huge court battle.

[QUOTE=J!NX;45065704]I really don't want to turn 40 and go chill out in a park with a nephew and be called a sicko or something.[/QUOTE] He was obviously referring to a situation where the people weren't related at all (such as the one specifically mentioned int he article). A 40 year-old person texting their young nephew is very different than a 40 year-old texting a young stranger.

[QUOTE=Crash155;45065313]I think it's weird for a 42 year old to be texting a 15 year old at all[/QUOTE] When I was 15, I texted my friend's mom all the time like she was just another friend and didn't think anything of it. Looking back now, it's pretty weird.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;45068393]I think it's weirder how Western society (especially in modern times) has developed an extreme fear of older individuals interacting with the younger generations.[/QUOTE] In the UK when you go into any position where you are going to be working with kids/young adults and/or have a position of power over them you generally need to take mandatory safeguarding training beforehand. Basically, for the benefit of both parties, you aren't really meant to have any kind of relationship outside of the classroom of workplace, even if its just a one off or a coincidence that you see them (Mainly just because of how it could be construed if anyone else sees it) Guy I work with was told he got in trouble a while ago when he spotted one of his students in a not so good part of the city at night and in the rain, and he gave him a lift to the nearest mosque so he could call someone and wait there. When I was in the last year or so of high school was when Facebook was starting to get a lot of traction, some teachers took emails down to help with work etc but never phone numbers, and they were quite explicit that they wouldn't accept any Facebook friend requests from students until the day that we all left the school.

I don't want to but I feel really creeped out whenever an older stranger talks with my girl friends and nephews and nieces I don't feel this everytime but I fucking hate it whenever it happens

[QUOTE=Crash155;45065313]I think it's weird for a 42 year old to be texting a 15 year old at all[/QUOTE] gosh, since when is something "not weird" these days. Man talks to another human being = weird.
