Teacher who gave birth to 13-year-old student’s baby started molesting him when he was 11, court docs allege
The Independent has now seen the criminal complaint detailing the full extent of the horrific child sex abuse allegations
Summary
Laura Caron, a New Jersey elementary school teacher, faces multiple sexual assault charges for grooming and abusing a 13-year-old student.
The allegations claim Caron, who befriended the student’s mother, molested the boy from age 11 to 16, including conceiving and giving birth to his child in 2019.
The case came to light after the victim’s father posted about the uncanny resemblance between Caron’s son and his own.
Can we finally give up the whole "I wish I had a hot teacher who would have sex with me when I was his age" thing? Because I have heard some asshole say something like that every time a story like this comes out. Always with a female teacher and a male child, of course.
This is rape. Every single time.
This bitch is gross
And this is why I've raised my children to never to unconditionally trust people in a position of power, including even family. We had "the talk" early, made it abundantly clear what kind of behavior from an adult is never okay, watch interactions they have with people like a hawk, and check-in enough to know they are safe.
We don't have to live life afraid, but we mustn't ignore that predators can be anywhere and look like anyone.
I feel so terrible for this child and his siblings. The problems in their lives didn't begin with this rapist.
Life shouldn't have to be this way. 😭
watch interactions they have with people like a hawk,
This seems unhealthy on your part. Like paranoid or smthing.
It's a figure of speech. I simply mean being vigilant with interaction between my children and others (adults in particular). To not do so, wouldn't be good parenting IMO.
They are part of organizations and institutions that have troubled histories with child abuse. One of my children just spent the weekend on a trip with such an organization. They have strict policies ensuring youth are never alone with adults. One-on-one communication is forbidden. All adults participating are required to take youth protection training and look out for specific signs. If an adult needs to say something to a youth, then it's done publicly. If it's digital, then I as their parent am always included in the conversation. Etc etc.
Child abuse is widespread, not uncommon, and care must be taken seriously.
If you and everyone you know has been free of abuse, then I'm so so very glad for you and them. However, for millions and millions, that hasn't been the case. It's all too common and very hidden.
Being vigilant with child protection is not something I will be apologetic for.
Why is the word "paedophile" not in that article? Can women not be nonces? I thought we had equality now.
Is that what that word means? I’ve heard British people use it in media and just thought it meant idiot or something 😂
Yep, toss that into an argument and you'd best be prepared to throw hands.
The case came to light after the victim's father posted about the uncanny resemblance between Caron's son and his own.
There must be some strong genes for the victim's father to make that claim
Isn't that how Arnold Schwarzenegger was caught out?
eta:
Just look at the traps on that kid
I suppose I just don't get it. She seems to be good looking. She could easily have an adult male with the mentality of a teenager, we know there are plenty of them. All I can see is opportunity/ease of access. Even the power dynamic would be the same with plenty of adult guys desperate to get laid.
Because she's a pedophile. I don't really understand the confusion.
Why is the sky blue? Because it is blue, I don’t really understand the confusion.
Pedophile is a title defined by an action. It has no connection to why the action was chosen. A person screwing someone who they legitimately thought was 20, but was actually 17 is by definition a pedophile. But the reason why they did it is very likely different than someone who had sex with a 13 year old and knew it.
Reminds me of THIS cute Seattle couple
Aw, that's sweet. They lived happily ever after.
...until she died of colon cancer in 2020.
