When he would ask about the injuries, the mother would lie, and say that the kid fell.

In other words, maybe the abuse didn't take place right in front of his eyes.

I'm just guessing here.

It's usually the woman/mother who is afraid to ask questions for fear of being beat up, raped or walked out on if she suspects or clearly knows something is going on with the children.

For a man to not question, not confront, not handle the situation--to me is a --cat--. Rythmes with wussy.

That is a sickened household. Probably all the kids are disfunctional--even the adult children.

Jail time for the parents. Jail time for the school officials who were notified, aware and giggled.

The teacher did try to help her, she was invited to his home, with his family including wife present. It may have started innocently enough.

But I'm guessing the teacher's wife plus the girl's parent's were getting less comfortable as the "relationship" progressed.

That's what I'm saying, that when he would question the mother as to how the kids got hurt, she would lie to his face, and with him being in denial, he would believe the load of carp that the mother told him.

But it's all just a theory, as to a possible explination as to why he didn't say anything.

I haven't the time to think about what, if any, bearing this has on the case (so don't jump down my throat), but from the article the father has had sole custody for the past approx. year and a half...

"...the couple separated in November 2015 and the father took sole custody of the children...."

All I do know for certain is that it can be a very messed up world.

Unfortunately, what started out as 'innocent enough'....didn't end up that way.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Terrible situation.

This one has Dr. Phil written all over it...

IMHO it was inappropriate from the get-go for a male teacher to take up with a female student, even if in the beginning he "thought" he was helping her.

And from what I've read about the girl's mom, she needed help

Yup, this! Many crimes don't have eye-witnesses. Furthermore, the abuser will threaten the abusee if they say anything so you learn pretty quickly to keep your trap shut. Saying anything just gets you grief, ten-fold.

I think sometimes the father, or in my case the so-called mother's husband du jour, also wants to continue to 'get with' the mother and there is little to no effort in keeping a blind eye to anything that 'could be' going on.
