This woman has serious problems and I hope she gets counseling while in jail....fora a long, long time.

[Lazamataz]

being convicted of raping a 12-year-old boy.

JEEZ!

Hands off the kid, lady!

"Former female bus driver..."

IF she's formerly female, what is she now?

Perhaps the headline should read "Female former bus driver..."

[Theodore R.]

I put "female" in the headline hoping to clarify this tragedy. Obviously, did I not catch the incorrect grammar format. Sorry.

[camle]

I thought the paper did it. I was enjoying the implications here. didn't mean to embarrass or offend, sorry;-)

ya gotta admit it IS funny!

[Arrowhead1952]

The boy is now 14, and

Childers, 28,

so he is 14 years younger than she is

claimed she was trying to reassure her lover, who is 19 years older, that she would still want him as he aged.

I guess age does not matter to this woman. 14 years younger or 19 years older - age is just a number.

Childers faces between 5 and 99 years in prison - is my suggestion.

I guess I will say what 99.217% of American males think about this.

Damn!
Where were all these bus drivers when I was 12?

???

[Publius6961]

99.217% ?

[Consort]

Childers are like adulterators but they do it with children instead.

[Maceman]

She probably looks better with a smile and a little make-up.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Yes 99.217%.

It's been well documented in countless government and private studies that have been devoted to this issue over the years. :-)

[Blood of Tyrants]

Are you SURE you would desire to have sex with this woman when you were 12?

[Maceman]

She probably looks better with a smile and a little make-up.

[djf]

Hey, I'm not the one who wrote the book on Natural Law!

The very little I remember of being 12, oh well, she looks better than a knothole in a pine tree.

[NeonKnight]

Though I find this a bit morbid, and feel this lady should be charged and punished, I also feel the charge was incorrect.

This appears to be consensual sexual contact between an adult and a minor. So where is the assault? Perhaps he was easily manipulated due to his youthful inexperience, but I still see no evidence of force. Perhaps contributing to the delinquency or some such charge would be more appropriate. The sentence should be based upon degree of damage and trauma inflicted upon the minor, though admittedly this may be impossible to determined for years to come.

[djf]

Pretty much my point. What are we gonna do, rally the legislature to pass a law saying exactly WHEN and WITH WHO a fellows first sexual encounter should be?

Fey on it!

[NerdDad]

You're right. At that age, trees look good to a boy. If a woman who is not totally hideous wants a little afternoon delight....it's on.

I thought the same as you...where were these women when I was 12-18 years old? I never rode a bus and I only recall a couple teachers who were young and attractive enough to not frighten a teenager. Those teachers stirred the bathroom fantasies of many a boy back then but that's all we ever got.

[djf]

Kid'll be fourteen before they wipe the smile off his face.
