Hmmm... It seems like quite a few of the School marms are "special ed" types.

It must be a qualification: Willing to bang students to raise their and possibly your own self esteem.

Well, she still has some time to lose weight, let her hair grow long and lank, and have it bleached Jean Harlow platinum blond. This will insure a pat on the hands and a stint on Greta's show.

Otherwise she'll get the needle since Ol' Sparky is still out of commission in Florida and probably will never come back into use.

My comments in the on-going "guilty-not guilty" games in no way reflect my condoning pedophilia nor an acceptance of sexual assault on either minors, the physcially/mentally handicapped or adults in any manner.

"Detectives arrested Sarah Elizabeth Joel and charged her with three counts of lewd and lascivious battery. She is being held at the Osceola County jail without bail.
----
Joel and the student both cooperated with detectives, the Sheriff’s Office said."


I will hazard a guess that the death penalty is not one of the punitive options being considered for this case.

I think we might be being a bit too hasty to condemn here. Perhaps her ‘victim’ would never be able to attract a female for those ‘special’ favors. In that case she might well be not guilty, and in fact deserving of some sort of award for her kindness and understanding.

I’ve know lots of guys for whom she would have been a 10!

Oddly enough, I know this woman and none of the articles written about her arrest mention that she is a mother to young children. I am writing to ask people to post comments that are relevant. People are hurting; the boy and his family, Sarah’s family - what good are comments about her weight and appearance? Confusion leads to negativity leads to chaos and that’s how these types of acts happen in the first place. We should be communicating about what we can do to help.

In my humble opinion, I believe the root of all inexplicable behavior is based on lack of self esteem, lack of faith, and lack of inspiration. Low self esteem wreaks havoc on one’s moral code of conduct because they ONLY want to feel better about themselves, and will achieve this by whatever means come into their life. Sad that there was a young boy who was manipulated into helping her reach a higher level of self esteem (at the time). Lack of faith is a major destroyer. Faith helps one follow a path of good, but it is not a predetermined course. If you have Faith in whatever you BELIEVE IN, you will want to perpetuate the feelings of good and thus, not be tempted to act highly immorally. Or if you become tempted because let’s face it, there is evil all around us, you will follow your Faith back to the higher path. And finally lack of inspiration. Without inspiring to be a better person, mother, friend, citizen, coworker, wife, etc. you are stagnant and that breeds the desire to fill your cup however you can...thus returning us to lack of self esteem...it’s a holding pattern and a tough one to get out of. I pray that her children will be protected from pain and that the young man and his family will not be exploited as the case is built in her defense.

If God is just and I know he is I pray that Sarah Elizabeth Joel rots in hell alongside the rest of her pedophile friends.

JC... I can't agree with you more... Our God is just... throughout the Bible He demonstrates this... God also demonstrates grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing which gives us all hope... The forgiveness God offers is something we, as humans, cannot always come to grips with... Here is the key... Forgiveness is not about the one who sinned against us, rather forgiveness is about our own healing and restoration in a given situation... Without forgiveness; bitterness, anger, strife, etc., take over and can destroy us... Could I forgive a teacher / pedofile who violates one of my kids??? I would like to say I could, for the reasons above... But I know it would not from me, but it would have to be a God-thing...

She should be marched out into the public square and throughly mocked. Everyone should be made aware of her actions.

and FR is the public square... Much like the sex-offender registries are for our communities... Just because we could "forgive" these people, it doesn't mean that they aren't capable of doing it again... (See tagline.) God Bless!!!
