The school I live next door to (and my daughter just started attending) was just letting out. Bus loads of kids were waving as they drove by. I walked by and noticed the truck was from a Boston station. We're an hour north of Boston. Double Uh-oh.
When Diva and I walked by on our way down, we noticed a man sleeping in truck. Immediately I start thinking of good reasons why he might be there. With a hotly contested Senate race, and our status as a purple state, maybe some politician was in town at the local college and this guy thought he found a quiet street to take a nap? Yeah, right....
Turns out that a former teachers aid (female) was arrested for an inappropriate relationship with a 14 year old (male.) They communicated via text messages and online chat, so police have plenty of evidence. The school did a criminal background check before hiring her, but she had no criminal history.
Now is when I really envy all my homeschooling friends. It really shouldn't be this scary just to send your child to school.

You're right, it really shouldn't be that scary. My daughter is homeschooling her children and every time something like that happens, it seems like she is doing her kids an even bigger favor by sheilding them from perverts. It's horrible what adults think they have a right to do to children, including other peoples kids.
I used to work in television. Trust me, you never ever want to see a sat truck in front of your home.
