Murrysville police have obtained search warrants for text messages sent between the cell phones of a male Franklin Regional High School teacher and a male student who he allegedly propositioned for…(you’re going to need to read the article yourself to get the additional details because I’m still in shock!)
Here’s a story reported by the Pittsburg Post-Gazette regarding a male teacher reportedly exchanging text messages over a lengthy period of time with a male student. It is reported that the teacher tried to solicit a nude photo of the student, but then explained in a subsequent text that he was drunk when he asked for the picture. The names of both the student and teacher are being withheld because no charges have been filed as of yet. Police are seeking stored text messages, a text message log, calls received and sent. If the KidPhone Advocate applicationwere installed on your child’s smart phone all of this information would be readily available for you as the parent and owner of the cellular phone relationship.
These stories continue to scare me, with all the technology and with all the ways that exist to get caught – people are still attempting to do these horrible things to minors. As a parent, as a decent human being I want these people investigated and if they are guilty – get them far away from kids. I believe that everyone deserves their day in court and I stand behind Not Guilty until proven in a court of law – but after that time — put them away so that they cannot harm anymore children.
