In extremely depressing pregnancy news, an Ohio teacher named Carolyn Hatcher is
pregnant with her student’s baby. While working as the house mother and teacher for six children in a foster care facility, Hatcher, who is 27, started having marital troubles and ended up getting a bit too close with a 16-year-old boy under her care.
After another child living at the home reported the affair,
Hatcher was fired and the 16-year-old boy she had seduced ran away. Fortunately,
he returned safely and is living at the home once again.
Now Hatcher is 10 weeks pregnant and faces six counts of sexual
battery, or up to 35 years in prison. I’m glad that Hatcher’s actions are being
viewed as serious sex offenses—sexual contact between male teachers and female students
is much more likely to be taken seriously than the reverse—but I can’t help but wonder what will happen to Hatcher's baby.
