Many learned to get their emotional needs—for love, attention, approval—met through sexual behavior." Once they start teaching or performing a job where they are the authority, if faced with some kind of serious stressor (marital problems, for example) in addition to the right child sitting in their class or being under their authority, it's not a far leap to becoming a sex offender. This is crazy and she was engaged to be married, as well. This needs to be a mandatory 20+ year sentence for each occurrence. Maybe then we can halt the statistics of this happening at schools, with public social workers, other authorities over minors. I realize I would be a hard judge.

I know many people in social work and my oldest is getting ready to start college with the idea in majoring in social work. You HAVE to set boundaries. Sex with a minor should be blatantly obvious, but one has to go into this knowing the majority of cases can't be resolved or properly taken care of, and that sucks, but it's the reality/nature of the job and issues faced.
