I think you've said it best. Our cultures downward spiral regarding mores seems to be having some reprecussions. I don't know how much of is was simply unreported or underreported years ago, but it does seem to be more of an epidemic in the last decade or so. The story I'm familiar with locally never made the news, sparing the innocent victims - her hubby and child, but at first it irked me that, once again, scandal at that school was swept under the carpet. There do seem to be more of these women than ever. And it doesn't help that the young males are more sexually active than before.

...You can thank our wonderful educational system in America for that. Ever since Alfred Kinsey uleashed his sexual threories back in the late '40s, we have been given the Sex Education In The Classroom debacle, with clueless 'educators' standing in for parents. By clueless I mean not knowing what is best for the children on that subject. So now we have youngsters who know better how to put a condom on a banana or cucumber than they know how to read or write. Is it any wonder Latourneau was attracted to this guy? He probably had a Sex Ed class when he was 10 years old. Wouldn't surprise me, not in the least.
