An attorney representing a student at Miramonte Elementary School said Friday children were pulled from after-school programs and other teachers' classes to take part in "tasting games" at the center of lewd conduct charges against fired teacher Mark Berndt.
In these games, children were photographed while blindfolded and asked to taste a liquid that police now believe to be the semen Berndt, who was arrested Monday.
Attorney Brian E. Claypool said his client was 9 when her photograph was taken by Berndt, although she was not his student.
FULL COVERAGE: Mark Berndt
Claypool said Berndt had two ways of getting children who weren't in his class to participate in his games -- by having them sent to his class during the school day or having them go to his class after school. "The potential pool of victims is beyond the classroom," Claypool said in a news conference outside the South L.A. campus where Berndt worked for three decades until he was removed last year when district officials learned of the allegations.

The guy needs to taste lead...............
After the whole Penn State thing... I guess I am just jaded. When some of the official reports included a school allowing a boy to be released to Sandusky without the boy’s parents approval... this case isn’t a far leap. I pray these children test HIV negative, Hep C negative.. and the rest of the illnesses they could have been exposed to.
We need to start taking the law into our own hands.
This cretin deserves to be killed unceremoniously and his body dumped on a garbage heap for the vermin and fowl to eat.
This is one very, very sick bastard.
There are no rights after doing something like this.
Are we ever going to get outraged to the point of decisive violence? NO, we have become too sensitive and “civilized” How civilized is something like this?
We, the people, need to know what sort of foul deeds perverts perpetrate, so that we can adequately defend against them.
I don't think we know yet what anybody may have ever seen or heard. I suppose he must have been good at covering his tracks and not raising suspicion, since it went on for such a long time. But it seems odd that anyone could be so good as to get away with it for so long either. And then... what is there to see? A few spoons in trash can? I certainly wouldn't have guessed that something so... diseased... was going on. And then I think too that nobody wants to let themself believe anything so heinous about someone they know well, and it's tough to be he first one to make an allegation like that, especially if it's just based on hard-to-describe little suspicions without direct evidence.
In more classic days, at the least both the perp and the principal would have gotten picketed with ugly signs.
They had a semen episode on one of these reality shows but these are ALL adults who choose to be stupid, right??
Exactly. Where were the parents?
It’s common sense to drop in unannounced from time to time on your child’s school activities, esp. “after-school programs.”
They are too busy enacting the politically correct sideshow du jour or disseminating revisionist history materials. Please! They have their priorities.
[ Sick dude that needs to be shot on sight. ]
No, he needs a trial and then after being found guilty immediately taken out back and hung.
Baseball bats with razor blades is too good for this freak.
I would literally skin him alive.................
I remember "Social Studies" class back in the '70s. The teacher described how in the USSR, children were placed in huge nurseries, practically at birth, so mothers and fathers could work. The teacher thought it was great.
I thought it was creepy then. Now I know it was evil.
Unless it’s just a peculiarity of my twisted DNA, while I have absolutely NO idea what semen would taste like (and never had any plans to test that and don’t now) I can very much attest that it smells locker room raunchy. (I live far more virtuously today than at the time I found this out, and no a close nose was not needed to notice it.) It would have been an automatic gross out experience for these kids. If my post gets zotted I understand... please don’t zot ME... but really. The complaints must have been intense.
That’s a good question, and I don’t know why the kids never said anything. There must have been lots of different innocuous things being “tested” at the same time, so that one “different” one wasn’t sufficiently wierd to mention. Beats me... I’m just amazed and saddened by the whole thing.
Another reason why this nation is due to fracture. You have people that want to do the right thing and punish this slime so to send a message to perverts everywhere. DO NOT MOLEST OUR CHILDREN.
The sick liberals in this country pushing the homosexual, bestiality, NAMBLA appreciation day, are going to make excuses and allow him to live.
We MUST separate ourselves from this, geographically, if our future children are going to grow up with any sanity in their lives.
Maybe something like a little drop in a cup of Karo syrup could pass with the kids, but really it’s difficult even to discuss the matter at all without feeling horribly potty mouthed. Hopefully only adults will be on this particular thread. Maybe it should go to the smokey backroom, it deserves it more than a report of some loser reporter who gave catcalls to Newt Gingrich.
You raised a good question, HTRN. NO ONE would zot you for pointing out that the children must have raised a protest of sorts. Perhaps the teacher told them that it was a different substance OR gave them sugar water afterwards. (for the record: I wouldn’t EVER call for YOUR zot, silly bug)
Isn’t it amazing to see all the red on the map showing the states that DO NOT approve of obastard vs the blue ones who do? A huge land mass with a relatively small population controlled by the others.
Why? Why can’t we stop this? Why won’t we? When will we have had enough of:
California
Washington
Wisconsin
Illinois
Michigan
Connecticut
New York
And just force them to go it on their own? I think we can take them. Heck, I think Texas can take them.
Why is this man still alive?
I guess he has a job lined up as a casting agent at Disney
