Mich. School Votes to Keep Teachers Who Defended Colleague That Molested 8th Grader

On Monday night the West Branch-Rose City school board voted not to fire a group of teachers who spoke out against the 15- to 30-year sentence a fellow teacher, Neal Erickson, received after molesting an eighth-grade boy.

“We believe the letters written by the teachers may be protected under First Amendment rights and that any disciplinary action will subject us to expensive, and potentially lengthy, lawsuits,” board President Jack Money read in a statement announcing the decision.
The victim’s mother, Lori Janczewski, told Glenn Beck on the radio Tuesday that she actually could have lived with the knowledge that the teachers were still, ostensibly, caring for and educating other children had it not been for the way they defended the convicted child molester.
“They put at the bottom of their letters that there was no harm done to our son, he’s a straight‑A student,” Janczewski said. “I can’t live with that,” she said. “They had no idea. And how dare they…”
Janczewski said around the age of 13, when the molestation happened, their household became a “living hell,” and they had no idea why. But they now know that on top of the sexual abuse, Erickson threatened their son that if he “said anything,” Janczewski would lose her job.
Janczewski worked in special education at same school where Erickson worked — and worked with the teachers who wrote letters of leniency for her son’s molester — adding: “At that time my husband was unemployed, so I was the only income. That’s a lot for a 13‑year‑old to take in and handle.”
Janczewski said roughly 300 people came to the high school auditorium Monday night, where the board decided the fate of the teachers, and there are roughly 2,000 students in the district. She estimated 95% were supportive of her family, but the board still voted to keep the teachers.
She added that they didn’t want to hear what her 16-year-old daughter had to say on Monday, but one member of the school board actually sat with the Erickson family in court. Erickson’s wife — who also works at the school — has begged for mercy to not lose the father of her 6-year-old daughter.
Janczewski discussed more about the case — like how the teacher gave her son alcohol and “told him it was pop” years before the molestation, and seemed to be “grooming” him.
But one of the teachers wrote in her letter: “Neal has plead (sic) guilty for his one criminal offense but he is not a predator…This was an isolated incident. He understands the severity of his action and is sincere in his desire to make amends…”
