All of Todd’s children are doing very well. Their mothers have taken the neccessary actions to protect the 5 children that Todd has fathered within the boundaries of the court. They are all in positive, nuturing homes. I’m sure their mothers will do everything to raise these children with better morals and values than Todd will ever possess. As for the rumored 6th child coming in the future, I can only hope that his/her mother will do the same. It’s about time someone puts an end to this creep’s lies and deceit.

Bottom Line–I disagree with your way of thinking regarding ‘reminding people of the whole situation and how scary it is for their children’…have you checked out this entire site and taken a look at all the teachers who have been charged with a crime similiar to this one? I think it is beneficial for parents and children to be aware of the appropriate behavior a student should expect from a teacher. There are counselors that go to schools to warn children about just this type of behavior and what to do if the problem arises.
There are several people who have commented on this site, who actually had contact with Todd Strang and who’s opinion I really would like to hear. Plus, it apparently gave Ex-Wife #2 a chance to set the record straight, which I think under the circumstances, is owed to her and her children.
I guess if you don’t want to be reminded of these things, or maybe this particular case,(for whatever reason) maybe it is best you stay out of this site. Afterall, this whole site, is based on the ’scary’ people who may or may not be in your/my children’s schools.
Let me remind you the name of the site is Bad Bad Teacher….what do you think you are going to read about on this site?

Yes , I agree that freedom of speech is anyone’s right, but discussing the pros and cons is not going to solve anything or make anyone feel better. It will only keep reminding people of the whole situation and how scary it is for their children to go to school everyday. Knowing that it could be one of their kids. Weather it be Todd Strang or someone else. It scares me to know that this country has turned it into something so ugly as to take advantage of children, or beat people to death ,or even murder. I can see why some people live in fear Unfortunatly this is reality. I don’t need to constantly be reminded of these things. I get enough of it on the news.
As for the judgements of Todd Strang that is something he will have to live with. We are the only ones that have to live with our own judgements. Let’s hope we make the right ones.

Yes, this is in the hands of the justice department regarding the fate of Todd Strang, but this a forum to voice your own opinion and to discuss the pros and cons based on the ‘what ifs’. As for ‘no one has the right to judge anyone’ comment, I am betting money that there isn’t a person in this world that hasn’t judged someone in some way. In fact, I can only assume that Todd Strang himself apparently made some judgements of his own. He must have judged his ex-wives as being terribly naive or stupid to believe all his lies and deceptions. If the charges are at all true, he must have judged that he was above the law in regards to student/teacher relations. He must have judged the student(s) as being so infatuated with him that he could take advantage of her(them). My point being that we are all quilty of judging….. so, let’s just remember freedom of speech and opinion…..
