She looks pretty. Pretty guilty that is. She was sleeping with a student, her husband kills the student and now she has skipped town to go to Calii to meet someone she knows from the Internet.
Too bad she has kids.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A teacher accused of having an affair with a high school student, and whose husband is accused of killing the young man, has disappeared with her two children after checking out of a mental hospital.
Erin McLean, who has legal custody of her two boys, ages 11 and 8, has been missing since Sept. 15, according to attorneys for her and her husband.
Attorney Gary Blackburn said his client is emotionally distraught, but he doesn't believe she would harm her children.
"Erin's undergoing enormous pressure," Blackburn said Friday. "She's unable to get or keep jobs. Anything she does is interpreted in a certain way. I fear for her. Anyone in that state, you don't know what might happen."
Eric McLean's attorney, Bruce Poston, said family members went public with the disappearance Friday in hopes of finding the boys.
Erin McLean had just checked out of a mental hospital Sept. 15. The boys had been staying with a grandmother.
Eric McLean has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of 18-year-old Sean Powell, who he believed was having an affair with his wife. Powell was shot March 10 as he sat unarmed in his car in front of the McLeans' home. Erin McLean had been his English teacher.
Eric McLean filed for divorce from his wife, and has said the shooting was an accident. He is free on bail awaiting a Jan. 14 trial.
Family members think Erin McLean may be heading to California to meet someone she met on the Internet, Poston said.
They plan to file a petition Monday arguing that McLean is not fit to have custody — which would allow authorities to put out a missing person report.
"She's not stable," Poston said. "These boys are in danger. For now, this is the first time both families agree she is too unstable to have these boys."
Blackburn said his client, who was recently fired from a Nashville school amid new allegations of improper conduct with a student, has been frustrated trying to find a new job and doesn't know how to handle the public attention.
"She's a fragile person," Blackburn said. "There's two ways to deal with it — fight and flight. She chose the latter."
(This version CORRECTS that husband is out of jail.)
Big Mess!
Prayers that these kids will be found alive and well, and that some decent family member can take them and raise them with love.
I think there was a Dateline story on this. This guy was driven to insanity and had his life ruined by the witch. She is as cold as they come. He just made a mistake shooting the boyfriend and not her.
How do people get this screwed up?
“”Erin’s undergoing enormous pressure,” Blackburn said Friday. “She’s unable to get or keep jobs. Anything she does is interpreted in a certain way. I fear for her. Anyone in that state, you don’t know what might happen.” “
wow...so much stupidness in one statement.
Mr. Blackburn - Erin is under enormous pressure, and it is of her own doing.
She cannot get or keep jobs because she is a sexual offender AND she keeps having sex with teens.
People interpret this a certain way because, generally, people disapprove of adults having sex with children.
“He just made a mistake shooting the boyfriend and not her.”
Damn, we have a radical Muslim in our midst.
Pictures anyone?

I think it comes from marrying someone with nearly the same first name. And that will be as sensible as any other reason you'll see.
Don't think you'll get any disagreement with that.
The guy killed someone over this? He’s pretty hard up.
is that the Moe Howard cut for ladies?
“I think there was a Dateline story on this. This guy was driven to insanity and had his life ruined by the witch. She is as cold as they come. He just made a mistake shooting the boyfriend and not her”
that interview was gutwrenching.
I know it’s a crime to shoot an unarmed kid, but after seeing that interview I just wanted them to let this poor guy go.
Not only guilty, hideous.
Prayers for those little boys, and the whole situation.
I didn't know putting down sexual predators was one of pillar of Islam
Maybe she just went out to register to vote for the Democrats this fall?
She is NOT screwed up! she is bad, sinful whatever!!!
she is self centered, not “screwed up”>
