Coaches stand accused relationship with student.

‎Law enforcement sources tell JJ that a case against two Ridgeland High School coaches has been presented to a Madison County grand jury. The coaches are accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 15 year-old female student.  The "relationship" continued for over a year.  No other information is known at this time.

this may sound far out and I don't know how old the coaches were however I think there needs to be an age limit on teachers for the students they teach or coach. when you have a new grad teacher that is about 22 years old teaching 18 or 19 yr old teenagers, they are not much older than the students they teach. I think new young grads need to teach elementary school an older ones need to teach high school. this would probably eliminate many of the problems that we have with student/teacher relationships. it would be nice to have statistics of the ages of teachers and student relationships that have occurred in the past. this is no excuse by any means but these young teachers may be dating the same age as the students they teach. of course this would be common sense so it would never fly. they need to have very strict guidelines and punishment on this!

Or perhaps, 1:16, maybe the teachers could stop trying to f^ck the students

@ 1:16 PM - I don't know... I think it could be solved easier by 15 year olds not spreading their legs.

Good intentions, but not possible. Teachers have to select subject areas while they are in college. If you teach Early Ed, and then want to teach high school, it requires additional certification.

Perhaps better/more oversight by administrators would help. Too many principals sitting on their butts in their offices all day, instead of visiting classrooms throughout the day.

Funny how KF when you post these sort of stories the JFPers come over here to anonymously post garbage so Donner can keep hanging onto her meme about JJ.

2 coaches and one victim is really bad, like culture of bad, wonder if it is same sex.

Male or female student?

This doesn't make sense. A teacher is supposed to have a probable cause hearing.

Anonymous said...

This is utter bullshit. These two coaches would never do anything of that sort. That student is just looking for attention again.

15 year-old and in a position of authority means statutory rape in most quarters.

,143; 502; 528----you are sadistic people. teachers are considered adults and want to be considered professionals. how dare you insinuate that it is the child's fault or make fun of the children. do you have a touch of pedophilia? this is what is wrong with our society! its people like you that make this such a sick world. such ill-minded beings. apparently you have never had to work in the real world in the field of child abuse and you just sit behind your desk, count your beans, and just collect your big paycheck. You should be ashamed of yourself! hold your head in shame in between your legs. Oh, but you might enjoy that!

If you do not know what you're talking about you should not judge, especially a child. No matter what the circumstances it's never ok for an adult to take advantage of a child, especially a coach/teacher!!!

Anonymous said...

528 oh so you know the coaches pretty well do you? don't ever assume someone does not have the power to take advantage of another and would not take that opportunity if they could. just like they always say "they were the nicest people I never thought they would do that" this is the same profile we hear over and over for pedifiles, serial killers, child molestors, and those that shoot up kids in schools. you said that these coaches would never do anything like this..... don't be so fast on making your assumptions. and you know what they say about assuming. hear the story out first before you make your decision I sure would not want you to be on my jury.

There is a reason there is an aged-based STATUTE to address this type situation. Because idiotic posts like the above blaming a 15yo for yielding. Guess none of them have ever had a 15yo daughter. Or perhaps they would just blame their child as well. Jerks...

Mississippi has a code of professional ethics and standards of conduct for teachers that covers this situation. Very stringent and allows the state to suspend or revoke a teacher's license. Does not require criminal conviction. Every teacher signs off on it annually.

If they did it shame on them and they will pay the price but don't think for a minute that a young person isn't capable of lying. Until the truth is known everyone is guessing. No need to start hating on each other until the facts are known.

10:11 you bring back memories! As I recall one teacher got kicked out of school and 2 got married to their students!

@528 & @948 sounds like you have so much faith in these two coaches you both should send your precious little girls over to see them. Show some class and realize that this is a very serious situation. Most pedophiles have an average of 79 victims in a lifetime.

Anonymous said...

You people are sick. You have no evidence of any of the case and that is because there isn't any. We are not "overlooking" the posiblity that people are not as they seem. I was with these coaches for a majority of my child's past year, and I even asked her if at any time during the year if she had seen/witnessed anything inapropriate and she looked at me and said, "No, of course not." You shouldn't make accusations with only the statement of a minor.

I really hate to say this - but we need Thad and McDaniel to start slinging mud again. Oblivious we are much much too bored. We have folks on here arguing like 5 year olds about a case that apparently they know nothing about. Could we all agree that sometimes teachers do really bad things to students and other times students make stuff up to get teachers into trouble and we will all be interested to see what the real facts are. Damn ! Was that so hard?

Anonymous said...

Well this sucks. I am a current student there and this fall starts my senior year, either way, all the good veteran teachers have left. Ridgeland was a place where the staff there actually wanted you to learn and become someone in the future. Now because of lack of discipline and guidance towards the new classes, all the good motivated teachers have left, even the principal and asst. principal are gone. Now its just about graduating, not becoming something big, just simply getting the diploma & getting the heck out of there. If this is true, who ever they are I'm sure they're one of the new staff fresh out of college and the student is more than likely a freshman from the age mentioned. Explains why Ridgeland HS is falling if someone doesn't take real command

Nothing new.

When I was back in school, the coaches knew which girls were putting out. Some of those girls wanted some of the coaches too.

It was mutual.



Anyone have trouble with what I said, well I am keeping it real. I don't care if it is/were wrong! Tis life and nothing is going to stop it from happening.


Anonymous said...

Actually, I am a student at this school, these coaches were great to everyone, they loved these girls. It is very surprising to find out that these things happen at our school. Our school has been having issues and know this is making us look worse. Thanks!

I've seen accusations like this springing up all over the country. About 1/3 of them end up being a kid who wanted attention or who got their feelings hurt and they don't care if it ruins people's lives in the process. But in every case the teacher/coach is ruined no matter if they are guilty or not. Mainly because people like many of the posters here just assume he/she is guilty before you know the facts. If this is another one of those cases, I hope those coaches sue the crap out of everyone involved. There needs to be a consequence to these kids ruining people's lives just for some attention. Like I said this is the case about 1/3 of the time so they may in deed be guilty. But just wait for the facts to come out before you smear people's names just because some kid has a story to tell.

Seems like that school has gone to crap since Sharon Summers took control. It was a top school for a decade. I heard that about 90% of the faculty left or retired since her arrival. If they don't get some new leadership in there soon, its going to be bad news for those folks up in the central office.

Anonymous said...

@10:47 You want to talk about class right after you joke about sending their kids over there? Then you assume these two coaches are pedophiles? It sounds like the 2 posters you referred to know all the parties involved and have chosen who they think is more credible. How about you show a little class and let both sides of the story be told.

Actually there are many more AP classes and ACT/PSAT prep classes now offered to students at RHS that have been added under the current administration. Some veteran teachers left but good new ones have been hired. And veteran teachers are not always the best, anyway.

Also, if you look at where RHS grads are going to college, (all over the USA), you will be assured that they are quality students produced at the school. Why not work to make your community the best it can be, rather than deride it in this sort of forum?

I see a lot of hate on men and age and coaches. I am an alumni from there and believe it or not this type of thing wasn't uncommon for girls to say at this school. If the coach failed them or gave a well deserved bad grade she would cry wolf and one student has gotten in trouble for that a while back. So all you noble keyboard nights shut up. I'm looking at you "file this under two stupid men" commenter.

I read where another coach was fired for "inappropriate contact" after texting his team "have a good summer and God bless" in a mass text at the end of the school year. Don't be so quick to judge.

How many of you can pontificate with such little knowledge of the facts and evidence is mind boggling. Wait for the facts and evidence to be presented to the grand jury and let's see what happens. But don't forget that a minor cannot consent to an inappropriate relationship with a teacher, coach, preacher, doctor or any other person in a position of trust; hence, the minor is the victim.

How about you guys shove a sock in your mouth? Yeah, this is a serious accusation, so stop acting like four year olds. You have no knowledge of this case or the people involved, so you shouldn't accuse anyone of anything.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
