A teacher at Wellstone Elementary in St. Paul was arrested for allegedly having child pornography at his home in western Wisconsin, police said. Police said they searched his home in Grantsburg on Thursday night after receiving a tip and found "several sexually explicit, illegal photographs of young females" inside. Police said they still didn't know whether he knew any of the girls. The teacher had not been charged as of Tuesday and was not in custody. Wellstone Elementary is conducting its own investigation.

This teacher must have made someone mad, to have the police follow up like that on just a tip.

The school is conducting its own investigation? The Wellstone School? Gawd. I bet those folks couldn't close an umbrella.

At least the principal; and the school board should be investigated for when someone in their office knew about the matter and what action or inaction they took!

"It's a DEM state. I want all the DEMS to resign."

The timing of these charges is very suspect, coming so soon after the start of the school year. I'll bet if you dig deep enough, you'll find that Karl Rove put those images on this guy's computer.

If you want to catch pedophiles, go where the children are.
It's about time someone is taking a good look at the public school system. God isn't even allowed in the schools, so if you thought the church was bad, imagine .....

To think that all it takes for the police to raid a persons house, is an anonymous tip...

That's really all it's ever taken, since the beginning. Sworn affirmation is preferred, but in certain cases, anonymous tips can be used if dire circumstances exist..........

Unfortunately, this is probably true for malicious or erroneous tips also.
