Mass. teacher accused of having sex with teen

ROCKLAND, Mass. – An elementary school teacher accused of having sex with a teenage boy pleaded not guilty to rape charges Friday.

Christine A. McCallum, 29, of Rockland, is accused of having multiple sexual encounters with the boy that began when he was 13 years old. The alleged incidents occurred in Abington and Rockland.

No it is called acting out and it isn’t junk anything. I unserstand that some need the world to contain certain elements and anything that goes against what they believe creates a problem.

But having experience in dealing with women who where raised in Satanic cults as children cpmplete with gang rapes and torture leaves me with a somewhat different belief.

Is it okay with you that what I believe is not the same as what you believe?

No dear, it is called PEDOPHILIA.

You can believe what you like. However, you will still be wrong.

You also should not be so quick to provide exculpatory excuses for evil and criminal behavior.

>>>>>>>>The cause or causes of pedophilia are not known.[15] The experience of sexual abuse as a child was previously thought to be a strong risk factor, but research does not show a causal relationship, as the vast majority of sexually abused children do not grow up to be adult offenders, nor do the majority of adult offenders report childhood sexual abuse. The US Government Accountability Office concluded, “the existence of a cycle of sexual abuse was not established.” Prior to 1996, there was greater belief in the theory of a “cycle of violence,” because most of the research done was retrospective—abusers were asked if they had experienced past abuse. Even the majority of studies found that most adult sex offenders said they had not been sexually abused during childhood, but studies varied in terms of their estimates of the percentage of such offenders who had been abused, from 0 to 79 percent. More recent prospective longitudinal research—studying children with documented cases of sexual abuse over time to determine what percentage become adult offenders—has demonstrated that the cycle of violence theory is not an adequate explanation for why people molest children. <<<<<<

Well, if you read the article (or just do the math and realise that a 13-year-old boy isn’t going to be in 5th grade) you’ll see that she wasn’t *his* teacher - she might as well have been a nurse or a sales clerk or even a housewife who was living next door. The media is hyping up the ‘teacher’ aspect of this to make it sound like another case of the teacher having sex with one of their students. Not that what this lady did wasn’t wrong, but sloppy reporting just annoys me.
