How can District 58 not communicate any of this to parents so they can check with their children to determine if they were being victimized? I'm guessing some of the kids knew about her "issues."

How can we trust School Districts to protect our children from nuts with guns, when we hire nuts to teach our children and then protect these people by sweeping their obvious crimes out the door or under the rug, without any information given to parents. Yet they expect us to continue supporting their demands for more benefits and pay. WE DESERVE TO BE NOTIFIED. WE DEMAND TO BE NOTIFIED.

If this had been a male teacher sending photos to an underage girl he would be locked up. This is a double standard that puts our young men in jeapordy. As a mother of 4 HMS graduates this really angers me.

What a nut! And she's responsible for teaching Middle School students! What makes matters worse is that there are so many great teachers out there who would love to be given the opportunity to teach in such a nice suburb. Wondering how and who hired this disgrace to the teaching profession in the 1st place. She's given yet another black eye to this wonderful profession.

She is not a rariety now!!
Among teachers or Religious instructors this day and age.

To all the questions of "who hired her"...there are two parts to this. One, if she had not committed a crime before, there is no way to know she was an inappropriate choice. If you did all the required background checks on your babysitter and then she molested your child, would it be your fault if NOTHING set off the alarm bells? Everyone thinks it is so easy to tell who is and is not a villain - in real life, unlike TV shows, it is not so easy. Plenty of criminals and sociopaths pass easily in our society as well-adjusted individuals. Do not automatically crucify those who hired her.

On the other hand, there is a well known phrase in school districts called "pass the trash." Often teachers who commit transgressions (but against whom there is not enough evidence to force a resignation, let alone prosecute) are asked to leave, and if they do, in exchange the employer won't pass along their suspicions. In other words, protect our kids and send the (alleged) bad guy elsewhere. It's a disturbing and sad trend because so often any issues with teachers are not even discovered until long after any activity has taken place, and without evidence or multiple victims to come forward, districts' hands are tied, because they can be sued for wrongful firing, etc. if they try to do anything to a teacher when evidence is flimsy or almost nonexistent. (And we all know how school districts have little enough money as it is without factoring in lawyers and settlements!)
