(3,089 posts)multiple possibilities here, we've seen this garbage too many times now.
It could even be other hateful students, although they would be a bit young for this sort of thing. A disgruntled co-worker, and yes, possibly even the parents. I'm just not going to automatically assume a teacher would do this without seeing the proof with my own eyes.
I try to look at it like this: What if I wanted to do something sick like this. Would I use my real name and credit card and Amazon account to do it? I suppose there are some really REALLY stupid people out there, but it doesn't add up. Something as simple as a new account using a throw-away email and a cash Walgreens gift card could make this anonymous and very difficult and expensive to trace.
Regardless, I hope they find the person who actually did this, and I hope the ramifications are severe. There is no place in our society for hateful people, most especially those who would do this to a child.
