The case gets me so riled up! He used to be her high school teacher, and then he leaves his wife and children (one of which went to the same high school and is only a year younger than her) to move in with her. Can you imagine how much pain this must have caused her mom, Tammie Powers?
They appeared on Dr Phil: Watch this:
Although I don't particularly like Dr. Phil, I think he asked some very good questions and made some very good comments.
Although they claim they only had sexual relations after she turned 18, I don't think that makes it alright anyway. It's still wrong! On so many levels. Anyway 18 is just an arbitrary number. And what is wrong with her?? Ok, she's young and naive but still!! Does she not realize the repercussions? She threw her life away! And for what??
Then the news came that he was arrested "on suspicion of sexually abusing another student more than 10 years ago". You can read it here. And so the teen left her boyfriend and went back to her mom and I was happy that she came to her senses.
But today I'm upset again because he's out on bail and she went back to him! (Read here) What is wrong with her??? Sigh there's something wrong with the world.
