"Teacher Charged With Assault, Sex Offense"

I read an article called, “Teacher Charged With Assault, Sex Offense.” This article would make many parents concerned about sending their children to school. Police say, “Harford County sheriff’s deputies arrested a North Harford High School history teacher on suspicion that he has an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old female student,” which is terrifying for parents who have kids going to public and private schools. It is also scary because Harford County is not far from where I live.
Investigators said, “Brian Norman, 34, took the girl to a mall on several occasions and had conversations on the phone and through AOL instant messaging. The victim also said Norman slapped her on the buttocks lat month.” He is 34 years old and he touching a young girl. Teachers are not supposed to have relationships with students and cannot go out with each other outside of school.
Police said, “They found numerous firearms during a search of his Forest Hill home last month. They also said he threatened school officials.”

They said,“ Norman was taken into custody on Thursday and charged with second-degree assault, fourth-degree sex offense and threatening an employee of the Board of Education. He was released on $25,000 bond.”

It really makes me mad that this man is out on bond. He is walking our streets. He does not live far from Anne Arundel County. The fact that this man is a teacher is scary. Parents do not know who they are sending their kids to school with all day long. These people are strangers and they are teaching your kids. He has guns and has threatened a school staff member. Can you imagine if there was a shooting in school with your kids there? This article is going to make parents want to home school their kids. This is seriously wrong. The man was touching his student sexually. I think teachers should be checked on more thoroughly.

How does this make you feel?

I think that it is pretty sick to think that someone likr this is teaching our kids. This person is also watching over our kids and supposed to protect them and that is clearly not what has happened.

This man is disgusting, and should still be in jail now. That is upsetting to think that you're sending your children to school to be educated, and the educator is having sexual relations with a 16 year old student. This is not right, in fact it is sick, and i feel bad for the students parents. Even after being caught with firearms in his home, and threatening school officials this man has the right to be walking the streets? What if he does this to another child, if he's done it once, it's most likely he'll do it again.
