- I know that this 5th grade teacher feels very horrible and humiliated. I pray that she survives and recovers quickly. Maybe, whe'll laught at herself in a few years, when she isn't so vulnerable to a public lampooning event. Don't worry, in this country, someone else will come along and commit something equally or more outrageous and this will be forgotten like yesterday's leftovers.

Teachers should not instruct their students on masturbation. Young persons have their own opinions on the subject.
LOLOL! Ummm...I don't believe this is the 'position of authority' the student nor she had in mind...and HATETHATBITC...too funny! Maybe pregnancy rates in her district will drop! LOLOL - Reply to this comment
- LOLOLOL!!!! Oh please! At least she wasn't WITH one of her students as is so prevalent these days! There's no way she would risk her job and reputation as the "good teacher" most parents say she is! It was a mistake, she tried every avenue to correct it (except previewing the tape before hand!) LOLOL Poor woman! They'll definitely 'make mention' of it at her retirement party for fun - LOL

- Maybe the dad wants his kids to have some kind of counselling... so that some bogus psychiatrist can assess how much they have been 'harmed', and would need x hours of rehabilitative counseling and therapy. [Whatever]
Then he plans to sue for damages.

- What a TOTAL POS dad. He doesn't even know his kids teacher.
That says a lot about how involved he is with his kids education.
To the father: Dude, get real, you are the parent act like one. You sound like a spoiled kid. Do us all a favor and get a vasectomy.
And as one poster wrote, if you were a real man you'd show your face,
otherwise you either have something to hide or are a plain coward. - Reply to this comment

- I hear comment from someone that clearly non educated and that's to be exspected in a fundamentalistic country where sex is a non-talking thing and more kids are pregnant then anywhere in the world.

- Well, this is about as narrow-minded as it gets. There are 12-13 year olds getting pregnant EVERYDAY in the US, are you trying to tell me that a 12-13-year old needs councelling after seeing SIX-SECONDS of porn? This is just another reason why small minded America keeps throwing an egg in its own face after seeing losers, like this father, on TV. Its a no brainer; tell your kids that the teacher has a private and initmate life outside of school and ACCIDENTALLY we saw something she wished we never saw. Things like this can happen when using Media Maker or other types of software. BUT, I can guarantee you, some LOSER parent is going to try and get the teacher fired and/ or sue the school for 20 million dollars for "psychological damages"... NO KID ON EARTH would be "scarred" from something like this AND are we assuming that ALL the kids had already watched the DVD? Have sympathy for the teacher and if she's a GOOD teacher, protect her. We are humans, this wasn't done intentionally and everyone makes mistakes.

- I do agree with you that most kids at this age already know about sex. I think the reason the wimpy dad made the comment about counseling is because he's going to sue the state and then everyone's taxes will increase because he felt like taking advantage of a situation he'd rather call being an "opportunist", (a good thing in his eyes). I hope that what he does NOW will impact his child in a manner that will be for the better. Here's one question, "How many times do you people think that wimpy daddy watched this video after sonny went to bed"?
- More interesting is imabrat66's comment. The "State" will not be sued and YOUR taxes will not increase (unless you live in that particular school district). Before you start in with the "it will raise my taxes" argument, you really must know where direct school funding comes from.
With respect to psychological damages... any such lawsuit would require documentation of the alleged "scarring" and an "expert" to back up the claim before a viable lawsuit could be brought. Since such lawsuits are usually contingency-fee based, it would be highly unlikely that an attorney would be willing to get into this mess with no real chance of recovery (as the attorney would likely not get paid).
- gosh its already embarrassing enough for her without the help of that poopface dad saying he needs answers for his kids. Obviously if he has kids he knows what sex is and can explain it well enough. and kickbutt09 don't go correcting cbs and then make a couple mistakes yourself!!!!! not very smart!

tmittelstaed: I am on the same page, doesn't anyone else in that town have anything else to worry about? Maybe that guy could get an education and then he would know how to explain "the birds and the bees".
- The father is slime. Counseling for his kids? ***? He claimed in an earlier report that after seeing this he spent the whole night with his kids explaining the birds and the bees, and he now wants the school to provide "counseling"!! For WHAT!! Did he not do a good enough job explaining?
It boggles the mind that someone would get on the news, provide a copy of the DVD to the news media, and complain about something like this. - Reply to this comment
- That dad is a real POS. After he turns this over to the news to further humiliate the teacher, he won't even show his own face on camera???
Your kids going into the sixth grade! He should already know what sex is -- it shouldn't require that much explanation. - Reply to this comment

- So now I'm curious: Would the report be more serious or legitimate if the complaining parent appeared on camera and spoke like a senator? Is the issue here CBS or its local affiliate failed to provide an appropriate sound bite?
Seems to me that the underlying complaint is pretty serious, no matter who the parent is in front of the camera. Bear in mind, the victims in this story are elementary school students. And I respect a parent who tries, albeit imperfectly, to speak for his or her child, vs. someone who doesn't bother to speak out at all.
