Remember Good Ol' Mary Kay?

Ok I get it! He got off easy this time and with no record his cori will come up ok and he will get another job in a different school system (or same school system). the parents of the girls should have a restraining order on her. I forget what it's called but there is such a thing for under 18 kids who are at risk. (in MA anyway). but not your problem, I'll bet she has been the gossip of her school and your son's!!! Girls NEVER did that when I was in high school. I was brazen enough to not wear a bra one day! That was enough torment for me! (1972? Women's Liberation era- my mother was involved so it was all around me at home!) I hope this guy decides to get treatment but he won't. I hope the girl's parents get her in treatment and they need family counseling!

He said to news people he still loves her- she never said anything like that- just " we shall see". Read the biography of the story above - I am always interested in the psychology of these kind of things (in all criimes really) and this interested me.

Wow ... he's 21 already? Time flies!!! I had no idea it had been that long!

IMO, everyone - especially the press - ought to leave them alone and see what happens. They are now two adults with two children. Yes, nasty, horrible circumstances in the past that got them to this point, no doubt ... but what good will dredging up the past do now? Especially for those kids?

Maybe they will actually manage to have a good adult relationship. Probably not, though ... and in that case they will be no different from millions of us who did not manage to make our "first love" work out for the long haul.

I think that would be a truly misguided judge who would take those kids away from him and give them to her, should it come to that. Visitation, sure ... custody, no.

Hope ya'll will be able to open these urls! The first one is already incuded in text below- 2nd has photos that i was unable to copy and paste so hope you can open the url to read story and see pics!

-- Barb's wired


Barbara Walters will bow out of "20/20" with guns blazing — she's snagged an interview with Mary Kay LeTourneau, recently released from prison after seven-and-a-half years for seducing her former sixth-grade student, Vili Fualauu (she's the mother of his two children).


The Walters/LeTourneau sit down airs Sept. 24 (10 p.m./Ch. 7) — Walters' final "20/ 20" before she leaves the broadcast to continue co-hosting "The View" and hosting prime-time specials for ABC.

Mary K. Letourneau's son speaks out

interview in 3 days. I am interested to hear what she has to say about her actions, conduct, reaction to her son saying he will never speak to her again if she marries.

Frankly,, they are adults,,, let em do what they want.... they seem to be in love so let em!!! What does it hurt you? not at all,,,,,

but thats just me,,,, I dont like the way they got together,,, it wasnt right,, but that was then,, this is now!

She's old enough to be his mother! She's 42 (my age) and he is 21. I just saw this article on CNN. Geez! :rolleyes:

CNN Article

did you see the interview with her on Barbara Walter's last 20/20 show? It was wholly unremarkable except after the interview, Barbara remarked to the other commentators that she had met privately with both and the relationship seemed to still be teacher- student. In that, she was taking him under her wing and planning on getting his art "career" going etc. (also could be called mother/son). Her eldest son from her 1st marriage has already said he will never speak to her again if she continues with this relationship. She however, said on 20/20, "I have a close relationship with my children".. I don't know that they would say so!

Good!!! I think its great when two ADULTS can get together and share thier love.....

I saw on tv last night where they are engaged.

I have very strong opinions on this and cases like it,and have no qualms about expressing them,this woman makes my blood boil!!! I find it disgusting to say the least, he was a 12 year old kid, IMO she is no different to a paedophile.

She is sick, how could any normal person fall in love with a 12 year old, sick, sick , sick, imagine how you would feel if it were your'e child, I have a 12 year old daughter,if a 33 year old man was interested in my daughter, I would consider him one sick individual.

My daughter's best friends sister was this age when a man aged 33 took advantage of her, he managed to even turn her against her own mother, she was infatuated, with him and would have done anything to please him, he is now serving a prison sentence, this case is no different to Mary Kay IMO, just because she says she loves him, she maniupulated him like all paedophiles do.

He now is a consenting adult, and if he chooses to be with her, well so be it,but age has nothing to do with it, just because he is now 21 does not mean he knows what he wants from life yet, heck my son is 23 turning, and he still has a lot to sort out, what directions he is heading and the poor guy had not a chance in the beginning, he was boy in a man's body, simple as that,and she took advantage of him

It may well have been considered appropriate many years ago for young brides to marry older men and in some cultures, still does not make it right, this is 2004, and we are still fighting to abolish these practices.

I feel sorry for the boy, her husband and her children, her selfishness cost them alot., and you can help who you love, there are some lines YOU JUST DON'T CROSS.!!!!!:(

P.S As for her getting pregnant to him, not once but twice, just says it all to me, another manipulative move on her part to trap this young man, has she not heard of contraception? irresponsible, coniving, calculating, and SICK!! I feel very sorry for those two young children as well.

Cases like this just make me so darn angry., it appears it is not safe to send your kids to school these days, as teachers are seducing them, and mostly female teachers too. GRR!!!:mad:

I forgot to add that the url I posted is the larry king interview itself. The transcript. I have not yet read it, I need to print it out and then read it. Although I did see the BW interview and well, she broke the law then but is not breaking the law now. I do feel for everyone involved, and it is an outright lie when she says she wouldn't have done what she did if she knew it was a felony. She was warned by the judge that if she does it again, the 8 year prison sentence will be imposed. She did, it was.
