I tried calling AT&T to let them know that they are providing a cell phone to a child that does not have permission to have it. Because I don't have the last 4 of the social for this teacher they can't help me. The only thing they will do is release the information to the police. The police say there is no crime being committed. And the school won't do anything because the teacher is denying the allegations and unless he says something to incriminate himself they won't do anything more. ON top of all that, I learned that this teacher has allegedly been smoking pot with my child too! Again, unless I have something more than what my child admitted to NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING.

Heck, when I asked to see my child's attendence records.. I found out that he has not been in school since May 6th... the school wasn't concerned and didn't notify us of his absences either.

AT&T isn't providing your child with a phone, they are providing the teacher with the phone-correct? The cell phone would be the least of my worries. The fact that this teacher is spending time with a minor and smoking pot with him is totally outrageous. Will your child admit to the police that this is going on? You say you need something "more" than his admission?? This isn't making sense to me.
If your child hasn't been in school since May 6th then he is a truant and I know in my sons school it's not tolerated. I also would have been notified the first hour he was absent.
Funny because I went to Hamilton High School back in 76-77 and it sounds like things have sure changed.
Maybe go to the DA's office??

Is this a male or female teacher? How old is your son? I would be terrified that this teacher is "grooming" your child for more than a good time at the movies. My thought and concern is that your child is being or is going to be molested. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but from what you've told me his/her actions are the beginning signs of a pedophile. Please, please follow through with this. Whether or not this teacher denies this or not, you still have a case and it needs to be brought to the attention of the proper authorities. Make someone listen. If you don't get an answer threaten the school that you'll take this to the news.
I'm sick about this and will pray for your family.

You say your child is no Angel. Who's are? But he is just that, a child, and no adult teacher has the right to cross the line that's already been crossed.

Did you contact the school or the schoolboard yet? There would have to be a name on the contract or a credit card number listed on file.

Did you ever approach this teacher face to face and talk to him about why he's doing things with your sons?? If so, what did he say? You never said.

Wow, Silverfeather! I was gone all day yesterday, so this is my first time reading this. Something has to be done. Maybe go to the school and talk with other kids in the class, or other teachers.
Personally, I would go straight to the teacher and let him know to leave my son alone. I would call him on his game. Ask him directly what he wants with a 17 year old boy. I am shocked that the Principal isn't getting involved. Threaten them that you will go to the newspapers or television station to start an investigation. Maybe that will scare the school into acting on this.
The sad part is your son will be 18 and an adult soon and then he can legally choose his activities. If this sick teacher has "gotten" to him enough then your son may already be brainwashed enough to think this is normal behavior.
I wish you a lot of luck. Is this Hamilton School in Sussex? If so, I would definitely go to the Waukesha County DA and file a report. Who know whatelse this "teacher" has done with other minors.

Well, who raised this kid? Sounds like you have lost control of him. How did this kid hook up with another adult (the teacher)? What hold does this adult have over your kid? It's time to take control of your own family and it sounds as though this has been a critical situation for a while and exerting your parental authority at this point is going to be very difficult. I agree that you should as a first step meet with this teacher and get a read on exactly what is happening and why.

Thanks everyone.
First this is Hamilton High School in Milwaukee located at 6215 W Warnimont Ave.

desertwindrider - my husband and I have been trying since this child was 6 yrs old to fix the problems that the biological mother created. This child has already been incarcerated (age 14) for 2 years and is not changing. The courts sent him home and it has not gotten much better.
Everytime we take the phone away he gets violent and the last time I called the police because he was shoving me around and getting physical, they told me that it wasn't assault and that I don't want to wreak my kids life by giving him a record. They told us to get him counseling. (He won't go cause WI law says kids 14 and up have rights to refuse)and he knows it.

I'm so sorry that you are going through this Silver. If I was in that situation he would be going back to his mother for her to deal with, there's no way I would put up with that around my own children. Because of the way that I am, as soon as I got my hands on that phone I would have smashed it to bits! If you can get to it take the SIM card out of it and hide it until you can get someone to help you. That has all the info on it that you'd need. It's total BS that no one will do anything to help you out. I agree with someone else, get in contact with someone from a news station and maybe they can help. Plaster this jerks name all over to scare him away. Have you gone to http://wcca.wicourts.gov/index.xsl to see if this person has a record of any kind? Maybe I sound wrong or harsh in what I'm saying but this is a child and no teacher should be getting personal with a child like that at all!
