Texas Teacher and Football Coach Arrested for Improper Relationship with a Student
It's never easy writing about these Texas stories. An adult takes on the responsibility of teaching our kids but then abuses that responsibility to prey on these young minds and hearts. There was a time when we didn't hear news like this very often. In today's world, however, we seem to hear about it on a regular basis. Sadly, this news comes to us from our own backyard of Alto, Texas. A teacher and coach at the school has been arrested for an improper relationship with a student.
