Investigations by cops and the school allege Leann Kearney, 37, engaged in a systematic campaign to alienate the girl from her parents — and used school administrators to help.

The principal and others at Columbine High School in Jefferson County, Colorado, were all too happy for Kearney have control of the girl under the guise of helping her “navigate her sexuality,”

“Transgender equal opportunity policy — before we fought two years to change it — said to leave parents out of the transition process if students said that’s what they wanted,” ... “It instilled a culture of secrecy.”

“She was 15 when she was in Kearney’s class,” the girl’s mother — who asked that neither she nor her daughter be named — told The Post.

Since the teen entered Kearney’s class as a sophomore in 2018, the two exchanged 24,000 text messages, spent dozens of hours on the phone, met in secret, and — according to a note written by the teen — even kissed while the girl was underage, according to investigations by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and school district that were viewed by The Post.

Kearney got the girl a job at her Planet Fitness gym and let her use her pickup truck. At one point Kearney’s girlfriend dumped her, and she told investigators Kearney’s relationship with her young student was a point of contention, according to the investigative documents.

The mother claims Kearney pushed her daughter to submit a fraudulent application for federal “homeless youth” status, which would allow her to move out of the house — and away from the watchful eye of her parents.

Kearney began asking colleagues about that application process when her alleged future lover was only 15 years old, records show.

It seems like Education is a magnet for these people

Those people do what they can to get to the kids. Be it schools, the church, scouting or otherwise, people who want to be around kids for nefarious purposes will find a way to be around them. 30-40 years ago it was the church and 20-30 years ago it was scouting. Now it's schools. My biggest problem with it all is the response from the institution of hiding the problem or moving the problem individuals around. And anymore, these types are also now management of the institutions.
