I'm the only one in this forum that thinks a 10 year old should know better? Wow. You guys really don't give kids much credit.

When I think back to what I was doing, where I lived,etc. when I was 10 id like to think that yeah i would have had better sense. To be totally honest though I don't think 10yr olds today are quite as street savvy as 10yr olds were back then. I'm sure the same statement applies to a greater degree as you go further and further back in time.

And I'm not trying to blame kids for anything here. Just wanted to get that part out of the way before someone decides to go down that road.

you seem to be comparing american kids to desi kids. desi kids are much smarter by the age of 10. 4.0 gpa, makes tea at home, works in sweat shops, etc. they're good at using common sense. you have to remember that the average american kid is choking on legos or shooting his eye out with a pellet gun at that age.

I heard this on the radio and the news readers were talking about not only having these kids seek psychiatric help, but themselves as well after reading the news about this sick fuck. Just fucking shoot him in the head and stop wasting my tax dollars.

They should make a CSI Miami episode about this.

dumb bitch: Semen with sugar in it?
David Caruso: Justice will be bittersweet when we catch him.

We should definitely teach children from 4 on up how to recognize the taste of semen :mad::mad::mad:

maybe a yearly seminar until they are in middle school.

What does semen have to do with it??????

Kids should know better than to:
Let ANYONE tie them up.
Let ANYONE spoon feed them unknown fluids.

How hard is this to understand?

I swear, I NEVER get pissed at anything in these forums. NEVER. But some of the retarded shit you people think makes me go WTF sometimes. If you guys want to raise stupid fucking kids, so be it.

I'm out of this thread.

don't stop at the thread leave the forums.

You don't have kids and probably only see them at holidays please don't give parenting advice.

The teacher is a trusted authority figure. He abused this trust and authority and manipulated children. Children are easy to manipulate if you are a trusted authority figure, this is why society punishes those who exploit their position of trust and authority over children. The practice of gaining children trust in order to use them and abuse them is known as "grooming" .

What don't you get ? Seriously are you that retarded or have you never been around kids before?

Unfortunately the resulting hysteria is probably going to do more harm to the kids than this creep's actions did.

I'm sure the response will be as measured and reasonable as everything else public schools do. They'll probably just institute zero tolerance policies against spoons and games.

Because I think 10 year olds should have common sense?
Most 10 year olds don't know that grown-ups might want to feed them semen, you must have had a disturbing childhood.

It's that it was something unknown and even the tying up part even more then what it actually ended up being.
If people actually still raised there kids properly stuff like this probably wouldn't have happened.

Yes you are the only one, if you haven't noticed you are the only one with many viewpoints around here. That should should make you look at the crap you are spouting and realize YOU are the one that is way offbase

This teacher like anyone in his position deserves due process of law. If found guilty of what he's accused of, however, he deserves a painful and slow death.

Was apparently investigated in 1994 for fondling a 10 year old.:

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2...laint-about-accused-ex-teacher-made-years-ago

The alleged act occurred in September 1993, but was not reported to officials at Miramonte Elementary School until the following January 1994, Lt. Carlos Marquez said. The girl claimed the former teacher, 61-year-old Mark Berndt, reached toward her genitals during class, but she pushed away his hands, according to the sheriff's department.
The school notified the sheriff's department, which opened an investigation. Charges were not filed in that case.

Disgusting story. D:

amdhunter, you don't even seem to realize that these children were especially vulnerable because most (all?) of them don't even speak English.

Anyway, the teacher probably had most of them tie each other up as some kind of "activity" so they didn't think he was the one doing it.

apparently he believes in raising children to be paranoid lunatics who will choke a mother fucker for pretending to do a fun game in school..the kids had no reason to believe the teacher was such a sick fuck

The teacher didn't earn his trust, just because he was a teacher does not mean he deserves to be trusted completely.

Yep, Board of Education wanted to fire him immediately, but because of the power of the CA teachers union, they weren't able to make the dismissal stick until March of THIS YEAR. So, he chooses retirement in the meantime, and *ta-da* full pension, full health benefits, and $3,891.17 per month pay for life.

At that age kids have to rely on trusted adults (parents) to tell them who they can and can't trust. There are guidelines of course, and behavior that is clearly off limits, but you can't expect an 8 year old to understand the nuances of adult sexuality. It's clear that if the teacher has his hand down your pants something is wrong, but a tasting game? That's much more gray.

Anyone who suggests the kids are gullible or somehow at fault is simply living in a fantasy world.

no surprise. People don't want to believe a teacher could do something like this. Not to mention what did teh kid say? the teacher tied us up and made us lick a spoon? its such a off the wall story its no wonder people didnt know it



At 7-10 kids are told to respect and do what the teacher says. Who would think a teacher would make them drink semen? What kid would know that its wrong to drink semen? they were told its a special drink.

Thank the teacher's unions for keeping him on the job, and making sure he gets benefits.
