Dawson, point taken, however yopu arent aware of our background with this person, nor our personal background beyong what was written. Nope, not against gay marriage,not a hypocrite, nor claimed I was ever the perfect christian. You have even proven that yourself in your judgement of me! Ironic,isnt it? Judge not lest ye be judged. Im angry that a person that was close and trusted,personally,etc, "alledgedly" abused a child. Is that wording more to your liking? Besides,the issue here is about a teacher that alledgedly abused a child, not about other posters belief systems, their level or ? of christianity,nor being so judgemental yourself that you would assume that Id be against gay marriage and a quick judge. God does the judging,true, I threw in my human opinion only on one subject. Your post not only was about the issue, but also of my faith,my stance on social issues and your judgement of me claimging Im judgmental. Please stick to the issue of whats happening...a teacher convicted of abuse. It is my opinion only that if there werent sufficent evidence, the maybe she wouldnt be currently held without bail. Maybe the news is wrong, and its all a lie. But I do maintain my freedom of speech while I still have it, and will use it, as you have. Again, posts here are regarding facts/opinions/feelings regarding Ms.Alderson, not about judging posters,social belief in which by the way, you were wrong on that, but thats okay, maybe you yourself were a little quick to judge. Happens to anyoe once fired up, eh? Have a good day, and Ill get that splinter from my eye as you work on your plank since christianity was supposedly brought into this. I only stated MY thought and opinion off the cuff, I didnt mention christianity. I mentioned "a higher power as I understand it", that should suit almost anyone. The post was meant as our thought, not to be diced apart, turned into a theological lash and challenge my social beliefs. So the pot calling the kettle black seems to have shown where it shouldnt. Want to be the pot or the kettle? I wish neither. Im simply venting my disgust over an issue that is close to home for us in many genres. Thank you for being so quick to judge me tho, you must be a wonderful christian as well. Im sure, if this story does prove to be true, that God would approve of her behavior? Yes, HE forgives, but its about what she may or may not have done, and how the child is going to live the rest of their life with this stigma....Good day to you,peace. T.Johnson

Moose, Yes, it is a crime if anyone is underage, male or female. Also, as far as "the hot lefevre girl, leave her out of it....you do know who and what I mean. Thats family, just because we post regarding ones comment AND opinion only, doesnt invite sophmoric slams to family members. I will be speaking to you soon as I know who you are. Thank you.

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Why are you so quick to judge and then talk about God. If you were any type of Christian you would not be casting any stones unless you knew for a fact that these charges were true. Are you such a perfect Christian to point fingers! God believes in forgiveness but you have already convicted her. Shame on you. You are no Christian. No wonder people no longer respect the church. I will let God do the judging. I bet you are also against gay married too since you are so quick to judge.

it's not a crime if it's a female adult with a teen boy. hell, it's a badge of pride to be getting laid in any form at that age. Too bad she isnt' hot like that LeFevre girl.

My daughter was in Alderson's class for 5th and 6th grade. we had so much trust and respect for her,and we are alarmed that we were so trusting, etc., meanwhile behind the scenes unbeknowst to us, Alderson was disrespecting one,or several children..( Pedophiles usually have more that one victim),she was also abusing the respect, trust and faith we, as parents and students HAD for her, and also disrespecting herself. Shame on you and the rules I fought you on regarding other students and your treatment of them. You know who I speak of. I hope you get the therapy you need, as well as your naive victim,how was that child to know? you abused his trust,family and soul...that was and still is A CHILD! Then again, at your age, studies show that you fall into the "non-rehabilitational" zone. And to lecture Silverton parents of your students along with your co-workers(they not knowing who or what you are), is appaling. Im surprised that this went over and beyond Administrations head and the law as well, aka:school officer, those in silverton know of who and those I speak of as well. Too sad, disgusting, and I for one, am pleased to know the truth before I sent you another thank you for helping my daughter, your EX student, thank GOD,thru our tough times with my cancer, etc. You're a wolf in sheeps clothing, as many Ive looked into are. Off to greener pastures at a lovely prison of the peoples (justice)choice. I would wish you good luck, as you have with my children and I last year, but I tend to not believe persons of your sub nature. Youve scarred a child for life, and you are past the age of knowing better...way past! Im quite pleased you were caught, and now the ones you deceived will be waiting for your reasons, as if there were such a thing. Id say good luck, good bye,etc, but you are not worth the sentiment,nor the response other than a valid lashing of verbal disgust,and a public notice of your deceptive personality,preying on your students. What do your children think? How about spouse, ex or otherwise? Im saddened to say this, then again, you brought it all on yourself, and I will be watching all the way until some form of justice is served. If not, Ill force said issue along with a group of parents and students that were once yours....you remember...the ones who respected and trusted you. Id wish you a great summer as Ive always done, however, I do think your hands and mind may be too full to enjoy said summer, or future seasons as well. Tina and Stephanie Johnson PS how you treated the boy that lived with me as a safe house...repulsive! May GOD have mercy on you! Im so pleased you were finally exposed for the fraud you are. SChools, check your records, run employees, take care of our children. Thats our future, and they are all potential victics as Aldersons victim was/is. Be aware,investigate, listen! Thank you

Too bad she's not hot.

Yes, she's a teacher-but keep in mind the abuse was NOT with one of her students.

This is happening all over the country. Go to www.schoolteachernews.com and click on the Scandal page. This year they have documented over 260 of these types of incidents. In 2008 they found 478 of these kinds of cases.

Its sad thing to hear of people doing this to kids....and a woman teacher of all things! so not all men are bad.
