Dad hits teacher with baseball bat following inappropriate texts.
2014-06-09
And, for showing up at the little girl's house...
Whataya, hard of hearing? I SAID, get off the property and don't come back, WHACK! WHACK!
A Maryland dad likely won't see any charges after he struck a local teacher with a baseball bat.

Police say the dad saw a series of texts on Thursday between the 42-year-old teacher and his daughter, a 15-year-old student. The girl's mother deemed them "inappropriate for a teacher and a student" to be sharing, News Net 5 reports. Investigators didn't agree and never charged the teacher with a crime, but the situation took a downturn later that day when the unidentified teacher showed up at the girl's house.

He wanted to speak to the girl's father, but was told to leave, CBS local reports. When he refused, the dad reportedly whacked him with a baseball bat. The teacher sustained minor injuries.

Police arrived at the Nottingham home at about 9:45 p.m., but the teacher didn't press charges.

#8  Just remember, Catholic priests are the great danger children face (made up fact). Our glorious public school system will solve everything. As long as the solution involves indoctrinating the kids, more public employees, and higher taxes.

#7  The teacher sustained minor injuries.

Dad needs some more time in the batting cage.


I see it as a heroic effort in self restraint. If that was my daughter and the guy showed up and refused to leave, he would be headed to the morgue.

#6  Baseball bat. Heck, a driver between the legs. Aim for the pin. Avoid the back bunker.

#5  Should have hit him with the bat until it got stuck.

#4  I suspect the investigators couldn't release the text even if they wanted to - privacy laws and all that.
That wouldn't prevent the parents from doing so - unless the teacher threatened charges if they did.
Would any charges stick after he refused the leave?

#2  If investigators did not think the texts were inappropriate then why not release them to the public?

If the creecher did not think they were inappropriate then why not press charges?

I think they should check the text and phone history of this creecher since he became a teacher.

Most others would have sued for a million dollars. Better dig deeper on this guy.
