Wearing an ear-to-ear smile, Fowlkes looks like shes posing for a new Facebook profile photo instead of a jailhouse mug.....Fowlkes turned herself in to police in Lockhart, Texas, about 35 miles from Austin, where authorities charged her with having an improper relationship with a student at Lockhart High, a second-degree felony....

Well, she WAS hired to teach the kid 'anatomy'...
When I was 17 I was in basic training at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. I would not have complained about such an opportunity!
I have noticed a lot more women teachers preying on boys than vice-versa.
Is that a true phenomenon?
(btw: too much makeup)
Holy hand grenades. A month after I turned 17 I was at Great Lakes. July 1977, then went to Millington for AQ training.
There are currently two other threads on this subject.
That’s just weird.
This is a fine line here. Critics of the juvenile court argue that the definitions of childhood and adolescence that were used to establish the first juvenile courts in America in 1899 are no longer equivalent to the definitions of childhood and adolescence today. These critics state that the boundary between juvenile and adult is no longer as clear, as children appear to grow up faster, with more exposure to adult ideas, and as adults more often engage in juvenile behaviors and activities.
It is also argued that many juvenile jurisdictions are no longer taking a rehabilitative approach to juvenile delinquents, and are instead becoming more and more punitive, and that because of some of the modifications within the juvenile justice system (e.g. required to waive access to a jury of peers,) these defendants are losing out on chances for better advocacy and they are not receiving all their rights as a trial defendant.
Other critical beliefs of the juvenile justice system are that the system allows for youth to escape the consequences of their actions. This then leads to further predation of society. It is also believed that children/adolescents understand the implications of incorrect behavior, and because of this, deserve a more complete punishment. Last, it does not always appear that the juvenile justice system is succeeding in deterring juvenile crime.
So if a 17 year old can be expected to have relations with a 16 year old, and have the expectations of hetero or homosexuality determination, what’s the difference? Not my idea, just the law.

Jack Lucas was a 17 year old Marine when he got the Medal of Honor at Iwo Jima.
Now 17 year olds are ‘victims’.
This stuff just did not happen 40 years ago.!
Damn...
And, now from the ‘assault with a friendly weapon
department ‘........
How could someone so dumb as to smile for a mugshot, in effect, mock the system, showing no remorse, be a teacher?
Is it a yellow hair thing?
Guilty=no.
Newt Gingrich himself married his high school geometry teacher in 1962.
Now you'd have her thrown in prison.
Men her age all understand that cops, companies and courts are all against men.
she’s guilty of almost nothing, she’s guilty of being a woman.
The only males idiotic enough not to understand the dangers are little boys or crazy people or drunks.
Guilty? U folks are losing it.
Apparently she was brought up to be “value neutral.”
She has crazy eyes.
