HIALEAH - When police wanted to question a teacher accused of having an affair with an eighth-grader at a private religious school, she was out of town -- vacationing at Disney World with the student.

Upon her return Saturday, 32-year-old Maria Guzman Hernandez, a sixth-grade teacher at Hialeah's Our Lady of Charity, admitted to Hialeah police she'd had sex with the 15-year-old.

Sin looks innocent by comparison

[library user]

Just needs a little make-up and she'd be sooooo not guilty.

[GeronL]

oh my gawd.

“My son is getting great grades in that class, he should be doing all his teachers so he can actually pass this year... imagine being 15 in 4th grade, really”

[Puppage]

If I knew how to read braille, I could read her face.

[misterrob]

And 3 months of Proactive...

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Guilty.

[Puppage]

imagine being 15 in 4th grade

Give him some credit...he's in the 6th grade.

Just needs a little make-up and she'd be sooooo not guilty.

Plus two bags, a case and a 5th

[icwhatudo]

A little off topic but....why is a 15 year old still in the 8th grade? Shouldn’t they be a sophomore in High School?

[Rebelbase]

Agreed.

[GeronL]

lol.

[SERKIT]

Our Lady of Charity
Seems way too charitable.

[Lancey Howard]

A 15-year-old eighth grader??

[Bigg Red]

Though the school identifies itself as a Catholic private school in state Department of Education records, Our Lady of Charity is not affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, said Mary Ross Agosta, a spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Miami.

Sounds like a charming place. /s

In South Florida, the social service agency frequently provides outreach and education to new migrants whose parenting philosophies may not be acceptable, Colyer said. ...''Parents cannot allow their children to have [sexual] relationships with adults. That's just not acceptable in the United States,''

O Brave new world!

Just one of the many benefits of diversity.

Likely held back a grade or two. I was 3 months short of 15 when I left the 8th grade (but I was held back a year due to illness and absences).

[Rebelbase]

She was just looking for a nice catholic man boy.

[swain_forkbeard]

Guilty.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Post #17.

[Graybeard58]

The mother migrated to the United States from Cuba.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

That’s about right, depending on where his birthday feel. But apparently his teacher was more concerned with his birthday suit.

GUILTY!

That’s about right, depending on where his birthday fell. But apparently his teacher was more concerned with his birthday suit.

Probably would be ruled on differently by a Hispanic woman than it would a white male.

[Landru]

Whoaaaaaa...not with my neighbor's thing.

[NoDRodee]

Bet the kid passed this year!

[Recovering Hermit]

[GnuHere]

They are from Cuba - maybe an ESL issue?

[Mind Freed]

It says the mother is an immigrant from Cuba. Maybe the son was already in school in Cuba and wasn’t up to grade level when they moved here. I had a friend move to America from Jamaica. When he got here the school said that he was two grades behind where he should have been according to his age. He graduated at 20.

[PLMerite]

“Likely held back a grade or two.”

Wouldn’t it be something if she kept failing him to keep him in her class? There’s a movie plot for you!

Well, the Hispanic woman would have a richer and more diverse set of experiences, so she'd be more qualified. /sarc

education to new migrants whose parenting philosophies may not be acceptable, Colyer said

And just who is this Colyer person to judge what is acceptable and not acceptable. It's not as if they are teaching the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus Christ! Anything else should be allowed!

[Rebelbase]

The threat of having the Constitution interpreted from the perspective of foreign values is chilling.

[Elsiejay]

Too much sex at so early an age has deterred his academic advancement.

[ArrogantBustard]

Ya know whut?

I'd hit it.

Seriesly ....

NOT!

I beleive she is a great example for the joke:

Q - What’s the difference between a dog and a fox?

A - 12 drinks...

[y6162]

“Too much sex at so early an age has deterred his academic advancement.”

That’s right. He should have been more into his lessons and less into his teacher.

[KrisKrinkle]

“That’s about right, depending on where his birthday feel. But apparently his teacher was more concerned with his birthday suit.”

She probably let him have a birthday feel.

I'm glad the Archdiocese got that out there so folks would know. When I saw 'Our Lady of Charity', I first thought, "Oh good grief!"

[Fido969]

For two days, Principal Xenia Torres struggled with whether to report the rumored affair to DCF's abuse hot line, Why?

[reagan_fanatic]

[library user]

Everyone’s being too hard on her, IMHO...

[pissant]

At least the kid was, we think...

[bert]

........why is a 15 year old still in the 8th grade? Shouldn’t they be a sophomore in High School?......

Because the sex is so good!!

[a fool in paradise]

Another religious school with sexual molestation? Oh wait, the media only used that to pursue the Church, not naughty teachers.

Rob Schneider IS "LEFT BEHIND"!

A little off topic but....why is a 15 year old still in the 8th grade? Shouldn’t they be a sophomore in High School?

Most 15 year-olds would be in the ninth grade this time of year. The kid's probably one year behind his age group, and it says the boy's mother migrated from Cuba, but doesn't say when.
