Charles County Sheriff’s detectives arrested Keith Allan Krikstan, 30, of Waldorf, in connection with child pornography, displaying sexually explicit materials to a minor, and sexual abuse of a minor after officers received information he was having inappropriate contact with an adolescent girl.

On January 11, several students at John Hanson Middle School reported to a Charles County Sheriff’s school resource officer that they were aware of a substitute teacher who was having inappropriate communication with another student.

I guess the background checky thing wasn’t working. Charles County has enough problems. Sad.

It rarely works for that particular problem. The only thing a background check could turn up is someone who has done this previously and moves around from school to school.

Don't they tell the subs and assistant coaches that there is no hanky-panky with the students ? Some schools absolutely forbid teachers to have student phone numbers, even for innocent reasons such as 'to let them know if track practice is canceled'. There are some software solutions that allow teachers and coaches to stay in touch with students, but all the information transmitted is transparent to the school.

I don’t understand any of it, anymore. My best friend/neighbor was a homeschooler in Calvert, and now is a substitute at Calvert HS. She is an awesome person. But, I don’t get how all the teachers are vetted. But, I do get what you are saying. No one can really know what is in the dark recesses of someone’s mind.

This is where Emmy will start pre-school in Sept.

In this case the accused is a substitute. I'm pointing that out just because the anti-teacher contingent won't. To be a substitute in Maryland the base qualifications are to be a high school graduate and breathing.

He would have been fingerprinted with those submitted for a national check as well as a criminal background check. Not as intense as one for a security clearance, which some of you have had.

You guys are making a big deal of this, would it had been any different had "he" been a "she" instead. As what tends to be the common narrative in these cases. :killingme

Well.... Is the female teacher hot? That makes a huge difference.
