'Sexting' Hysteria Falsely Brands Educator as Child Pornographer

"when the boy's mother learned from Oei about the earlier photo incident, she was outraged that Oei hadn't reported the picture to her. She called his house at 7:00 a.m., screaming at him that the suspension had to be revoked."

This is a phenomenon I've become familiar with - instead of outright denial, the accused accuses the accuser of some wrongdoing(s) that may or may not have anything to do with the initial accusation. In the case cited above, the parent called the school and, instead of acknowledging that her son had done something indefensible, she accused the teacher of wrongdoing, thereby deflecting attention from her son to the administration of the school. She would rather destroy a man's life rather than see her son on a 10 day suspension for committing a rude, but minor infraction.

This is how we're raising our children - our future will 

be a sad one indeed.
