Normally, I'd be very uninterested in a story like this. But note the BOLD text. In front of her kid! My God! You may think that a being a guy, I might react with the standard "heh heh, wish I had her for a teacher" response, but I won't. This kind of behavior is NEVER tolerated in a Male teacher. Why should she be treated different?
SACRAMENTO, California (AP) -- A 30-year-old teaching intern was arrested and accused of having sex with a 16-year-old male student after police found the two parked behind a school with the windows of the car steamed up.
The
intern's toddler was strapped into a car seat in the back when police discovered the two Saturday.Margaret De Barraicua and the student are believed to have been having "an ongoing consensual sexual relationship for several months," Sacramento police spokesman Sgt. Justin Risley said.
The teenager was in a language and arts class that De Barraicua has taught since September, when she started her paid internship at McClatchy High School.
De Barraicua, who is married, was placed on paid administrative leave Tuesday while the investigation is ongoing, said Maria Lopez, a spokeswoman for the Sacramento City Unified School District. The toddler was released to De Barraicua's husband.
De Barraicua did not return a telephone call to her home Wednesday.
