She is being held w/o bond, so I think the evidence is pretty damning.

+ 1. I don’t hear about so many sex abuse cases in MCPS; what’s up with Fairfax and the perverts?

I’ve been cautiously happy at how Fairfax County Police have stepped up how they respond to abuse in schools, especially for special education students. They do not mess around.

There was a huge cultural shift after what happened in Freedom Hill in 2019 and how the community realized how the corruption went up the principal. The police seem to be much more proactive in 2023 than they were in 2019.

This is the 7th case this school year of a teacher in FCPS being arrested for harming a special education student.

What is the ratio? How many instances in FCPS vs MCPS are you referencing?

I don't love Reid or really any super we've had.... but how can she control people's actions.

Do we know it was her student? A special Ed student? Even a student at the school? Could it be a student and they thought it was an actual consensual relationship they were having?

I do not blame Reid either. But only because she is new.

There is an insular culture in parts of FCPS. There are some schools in FCPS where the needs of the adults are primary and the needs of the students are a distant second. It comes out in benign ways - scheduling of recess, lunch, etc and in some terrible ways such as looking the other way when teachers and staff are cruel to children.

Special education staff shortages and the pressures of learning loss have made many classrooms frankly unsafe for children who cannot effectively self-advocate. 6 or 7 cases of abuse is indicative of a larger problem.

I find it interesting that the staff member at Madison who called the police on the special education teacher was a custodian. This was also the case in another special education abuse case this school year. Custodians might be somewhat outside of the gossiping and scratching each other's backs that goes on in many schools.

Not hearing about it does not mean they are not happening. All of this happens a lot more often than any of us know. The fact that these cases are being reported are actually a good sign/step in the right direction. I think this was actually a lot more common when we were growing up but people did not speak up and it was not labeled as abuse (it was just teacher having sex with student).

Is that what happened? I judged it to mean the "custodian" of the child reported it. Like a grandparent with custody, perhaps.

This is how rumors start. It was not a custodian calling in either situation. The article says “ charged with four counts of indecent liberties by a custodian.” This means she was an authority figure and the minor was under her care. As in a teacher or case manager.

Went back to the initial news report:

"She was arrested Thursday and charged with four counts of indecent liberties by a custodian after a student disclosed on Wednesday that they had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a teacher, according to police."

I think the teacher charged is the custodian. That means this was her student, I think.

They would have said it was "reported by a custodian" I think if it were otherwise. And, i don't think they would have said that even if it was a custodian that reported it. I think they would have said a "staff member."

wow how dumb are some of you to read that and somehow conclude the school custodian turned her in.

Maybe a custodian is a teacher in general?

I’m just wondering if this is more of a misguided relationship rather than abuse.

I’m, how many more excuses can you people make for a situation like this? Let justice take course but the facts to date don’t give any reason to make-up excuses for an adult and a special education teacher at that. At some point, use some common sense and put your political agendas aside.

I’m not making any excuses. There is literally no information. Everyone is assuming it’s a special ed student. She could have been with a 18 year old senior in some kind of messed up affair/relationship. There is nothing concrete that she was Abusing a special Ed student.
