[quote=Anonymous]A teacher admitted to a fellow parent to doing something wrong to two children (spanking).

OSSE investigated. Found no evidence or that the allegations against this teacher are not true.

This parent would have no motivation to lie about the teacher admitting this.

The teacher denied everything later in the day once they realized what they said was going to get them in trouble.

What I'm struggling with here is what would actually lead someone to not believe a confession? Like, how can school administrators hear what the teacher said and lead to the statement that they have "no doubt" about nothing happening.

I am really trying to understand here how someone would be okay with dismissing someone's confession. Like, what would lead to that? The person was having a bad day and didn't know what they were saying? Then they probably shouldn't be caring for young children. Since the conversation happened in another language, the words were misunderstood? The conversation happened between two native speakers of that language and there was no ambiguity.

Just wondering if there is ever any situation where you'd hear a confession from a teacher or babysitter and ever choose to not believe it.[/quote]
