Glad her parents can at least relax a little. Feel sorry for the teachers parents though.

deggers, but you nor i or indeed the rest of the world knew that until they were discovered. No one knows his actual motive, nor why he saw fit to run off with a 15 year old schoolgirl. He isn't 21 is he, but 30, a married man to boot.

[sherrardk]

He will not be ble to get another teaching job as this will show up on his enhanced CRB check and I doubt if he would get a good reference after all this. The rules are in place for a reason. If he had used his head he would have waited until she was sixteen and if still a pupil at the school, he could have got a job somewhere else.

[VictorMildew]

There are plenty of independent boys only schools around.

[sherrardk]

Still have to CRB checked.

[emmie]

he has been arrested on suspicion of child abduction.

[Sqad]

I hope that whoever or whatever is appointed to assess this unfortunate situation does in an equable and understanding way unlike the vitriolic rhetoric that we have seen spouted by some on AB.

She may refuse to testify against him.

I can't imagine what her parents have gone through. I'd ground her until she was 40.

[emmie]

if she were your child what would you think, do. ?

[emmie]

that was for Sqad

[sherrardk]

He's broken the terms of his contract somewhere along the line, bit like if you work in Tesco and nick some stock - you'd expect the sack then.

[Brenden]

The age of consent in this country is 16 - so I should think that would be another charge against him.

[LoftyLottie]

Am I the only one who thinks that this has not deserved headline news. She wasn't in danger, they knew who she was with, she went of her own accord. I agree it is a 'crime' but not headline crime. Loads of people of her age are missing, REALLY missing, who knows where they are or who they are with.

[deggers316]

i'm sure megan will be glad to get back to her parents NOT !!!

[hc4361]

You are making assumptions there, Brenden.

If she denies intercourse ever happened between them, it's a non-starter.

[2sp_]

I think the school needs to take some of the responsibility/blame here too. Apparently they knew of a relationship a while back.

They too have failed to protect a 15 year old child.

[rockyracoon]

So, do you really think the parents should have sat back and done nothing? Imagine the feeding frenzy the papers would have with that, 'mother lets 15 year old daughter run off with 30 year old teacher'

[VictorMildew]

It all needs to be kept in perspective. Yes we can all strictly quote the law and all that but we aren't talking about a helpless kid half the age being taken against her will. What were any of us like at that age? I had all sorts of crushes on some of my teachers and might even have done the same thing.

[Sqad]

em....right....I did wonder.

I have NO IDEA what i WOULD DO.........but what I THINK I would do would be to try and understand that she felt that she loved this guy and wanted to be with him, in which case i would NOT stand in their way.

Just try telling a 15year old today that they don't RARELY know what love is.............cus I REALLY don't know.

[Snafu03]

tbh she's probably learnt alot more over the last 7 days than in a whole year at school.

[emmie]

if they were in a relationship before and it was known about why did the school do nothing.
