if he has not had sex with her its still kidnapping, if the press can tail them why has the father of the girl not gone to bring her back home,
i want to be 15 again ..................and i dont have an issue with being abducted ...............at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had sex at 15 with my maths teacher, it was OK but I couldn't sit down for a week 'coz me arse was so sore... :biggrin:
Wish my teachers had looked like that, I might have paid more attention in class! wouldnt have got anywhere near her though, spotty, big hair and glasses was not conducive to getting laid!
View attachment 6583 i can see the potential of this thread going on forever..well, at least until my 2TB of disc space is exhausted...it wasnt like this when i was at school..Maths was difficult enough, but its certainly getting harder. Back to the topic...Megan has been found safe and well so lets hope that the story has a happy ending and that she wasnt dragged against her will or groomed in some way...Maybe the teacher, who i believe was married (poor missus) is a poor misguided fool rather than anything else..lets wait and see.
what a dull twat least bat her off til 16 ,how was any decision to run away with her a good decision idiot
Hmmm..... lets play devils advocate here... (which I just love doing) Remove the numbers for a moment, and remove the legal issues. This is a girl dating a guy 15 years older than her... its not that unusual. If it weren't for the legal implications and the conflict of professional interest, its a girl dating someone with a solid career and in a decent profession where he can earn a decent secure living with a solid future. Compared with the amount of abusive violent losers out there with no sense of respect or an ounce of decency about them, she could be in far worse hands. Many girls barely any older than her are abused, raped and beaten at the hands of cruel manipulative and abusive partners with no future, no education and no hope. If it weren't for a simple set of numbers, and the way society views age gap relationships she would have potentially had a very suitable partner in him. The situation isn't right but there are far worse things she could do.. if she were 20 dating a 35 year old professional she would be considered quite lucky, and could definitely do far worse.
Phil, you're quite right in many ways, but the fools knew what they were doing was just so wrong in so many ways. As her teacher, her age was known to him, so no excuse. He must also have been aware of the rules regarding pupil/teacher relationships. He also has a wife. She is not blameless either. I'm sure she lead him on, but he should have resisted. Just the act of running away to France suggests they were aware that what they were doing was wrong, and I'm sure they've both seen the newspaper reports as to other pupil/teacher relationships and the outcome of them. The age gap isn't the real issue, that is the fact that he was in a position of trust regarding this girl and he abused that trust.
Its the position of trust he breached it. As I said If you are a teacher or working in a school environment there are protocols to follow. I have sat through training as he would have and it is all plainly laid out. If he has chosen to breach it then sadly he has to pay the price.
You do have to wonder what the game plan was. She is 15, so.. er.... what? Her education ends here, except for maths? And he was going to get a job as ...er... a rock star? Or perhaps a French-speaking maths teacher? I'm not sure that they really thought this one through. Buying a couple of tickets to France was the easy bit. Let's face it, there a plethora of relationships that you could have, you'd like to have, but most of them aren't that appropriate for all sorts of reasons. As an adult, you deal with it. I suspect he's just not very mature, which is why he gets on so well with kids, perhaps.
There is obviously a lot of people on here who don't understand the trust put in a teacher NOT to do things like this teacher has. Her age is an issue because she is till a minor in the eyes of the law and not mature enough to make decisions like running away with your teacher to France. She was taken without her parents consent, so was abducted. It will take her years (if at all) to get over this ( i guess no one on here saw the woman on TV the other morning who did a similar thing when she was 15 and its only with hindsight she has realised how the teacher was grooming her. That was 30 years ago and she still has problems as a result of it). I can only assume some of those not seeing a problem with this, don't have teenage kids themselves.
I don't think it's a case of some folks not seeing the problem with it, I think it's other folks not seeing that there are worse scenarios that could have occurred. That said, the idea of the girl discovering for herself that she had actually been groomed is a chilling one. I fear for her in that regard as, as we have seen, the realisation that you were a victim, not a willing participant, can be shattering.
So an underage girl is potentially abused by a person in a position of trust who is married and 15 years older? There are comments on here regarding what were the school/authorities doing in letting it go on for a few months. So underage girls are abused by persons who gain their trust, who are married and are up to 40 years older, but these guys hunt in gangs and use threats and intimidation. The authorities turn a blind eye and the police are almost complicit in taking no action despite the victims coming forward. Other than the men involved, I know who should be in the dock and I'd rather public funds were spent pursuing these guys before they've done huge amounts of harm in gang raping these girls for years rather than some middle class pr*ck teacher who should know better. I guess the law is different in Rochdale, Leeds, North Manchester and Oxford than it is in Eastbourne?
Unfortunately, Royum, the law now errs on the side of caution and as a result the criminal(s) benefit, rather than the victim(s) being protected.
