In channel surfing this evening, we came across the Dateline NBC interview with Debra Lafave. The teacher that had an affair with her 14 year old student. We only watched a bit when it started, and came back to see that it was a full one hour interview. It's worthy of a whole hour?? But seriously, I can't believe she got such a lucky break. Such a double standard. They're showing her standing around her pool, and she's talking about her flower garden. If she had been a man, they would be calling him a pervert and telling him to burn in Hell. But, since she's a female, no? Her attorney said part of his defense was that she was beautiful, and by all standards, could have gotten real dates... and so that it proved she was not mentally stable. Bi-polar is an excuse for being a child molester? It just makes me sick. And she's almost acting as if she's a victim. And I know, men think the boy is a stud. But regardless of his mentality, she was an adult and should be in prison. If it had been a male teacher, and a 14 year old girl, he would have gone to prison.. no passing go and absolutely no $200 :)
