That kid who's ran off with her teacher.

Kind of romantic really. I know it's totally wrong on his part but they're in love.

I am annoyed that it is deemed by the media to be an either first or second "News" item. It is not; there are much more important issues going on in the UK and the World. Just tacky sensationalism.

 

Prob not,if it was my daughter he would be wearing his goolys for earings and that thats polite!!!

 

He is either incredibly stupid or incredibly naive to think that what he has will have no repercussions or that they won't be found eventually. He's thrown away his entire career and life. And I find it a bit odd that a 30 year man can claim to have those sort of feelings for a 15 year girl.

I don't think it's all his doing/fault though.

Still, the media love this sort of thing.

 

I would guess that its love too. I don't feel that she's in any danger from him.

He's either not thought it through properly or he's too far gone to realise what's going to happen next

He's married, his wife will be going ape, the police will throw the book at him, he'll loose his job, and it won't matter how much the girl feels for him now, in a few years she'll loose interest & want to go out with someone else.

Unless they are headed for a country where poligamy & young marriage are legal, then they should give up now & face the music.

 

Bringing up 3 daughters myself I can honestly say there is no reasoning with the critters. You can huff and puff but they will still do what they want.
We should be more understanding about these things. Violence is not the answer Joolz

 

The man is a nutter. I can only assume he's had some sort of mental breakdown because for whatever reason he has taken leave of his senses.

The girl is old enough to have some idea of what she's doing, and teenage girls can be very silly at times I have no doubt. But the bloke, he is old enough to know better.

Lets say it is true love. I'm not going to pass judgement on that. So they're in love and believe they will spend their lives together. That being the case, surely he should tell his wife, quit his job, and wait a few months until the girl is 16 before taking it any further. If they are in love, they can manage that.

Now, he's going to be branded a weirdo, he is almost certainly going to be arrested and charged with whatever the coppers and the CPS think they can make stick (at least abduction, possibly statutory rape). His career is over, not just in teaching, but in many things. His wife has rock solid grounds to divorce him and take everything and I can only hope and pray he has no kids, because if he has, he clearly wasn't considering how his relationship with them is going to go.

The girl deserves a smacked arse for putting her family through hell, and the bloke deserves a slap for being such a dumb so and so. Other than that, I don't think its even newsworthy. This is a personal matter between two families.

 

I agree with everything you say FC - good post!

 

My thoughts are this: a girl of 15 yrs old running away with her teacher ... what is she lacking in her home life? If she was fulfilled (emotionally) at home, she wouldn't feel any *need* to seek it from another adult in authority.

Seems the red flag was going up on this issue before they reached the stage of running away together.

It'll end in tears.

 

Clue, he'll end up on a sex offenders register! (and she will *not* be given a smacked bottom ... not at her age and not without the person doing it potentially being labelled a perv!)

 

As a survivor i shall keep my opinion to myself

 

We shall follow the unfolding story with interest.

I hope it turns out well, but some stuff is going to hit the fan.

 

Ive spent every living moment praying my daughters are alright out of my care,ive cried cos ive had to do early nursery and after hrs when ive had to work shifts ..then when i think shes safe in high school some teacher thinks he can take advantage of her!
