Family Terrorized as Michigan Teachers Support Colleague Who Molested Boy

Posted on Comments

Former middle-school teacher Neal Erickson, 38, pleaded guilty in May to having sex with a boy beginning in 2006 — when the boy was a 14-year-old eighth-grader — until 2009. His fellow teachers in Ogemaw County, Michigan, supported Erickson, writing letters to the judge asking for a lenient sentence. Any parent would be horrified by the sentiments expressed, for example, by Rose City teacher Sally Campbell:

“Neal made a mistake. He allowed a mutual friendship to develop into much more. He realized his mistake and ended it years before someone anonymously sent something to the authorities which began this legal process. . . . Please also consider that this was a one-time relationship with only one student and ended long before being found out. Both parties have gone on with their lives.”

He molested a 14-year-old boy, ma’am. To call this “a one-time relationship” — words fail. A relationship? A middle-school teacher and a 14-year-old boy in a “relationship”? Are you insane?

The parents of the victim in this case were outraged to see Erickson’s fellow teachers supporting this confessed criminal pervert, whose molestation of their son caused horrible problems:

The victim’s mother also spoke prior to sentencing, telling Erickson he violated her son and caused a rift in the family. She said the family appeared happy on the outside, but on the inside, the home was a “battle zone.”
“We couldn’t figure out why (the victim) hated us,” she said. “He went after his father. There were physical fights.” . . .
“You were his teacher,” she said. “You were his mentor. You were his friend. And you violated him.”
She added the victim kept the sexual encounters a secret and suffered because of it.
“He kept all of this a secret, and he went through emotional pains,” she said.

Permit me to digress: Do you think there might be . . . oh, I don’t know, an agenda involved here? Do you think Neal Erickson’s fellow teachers would have supported him like this if he had carried on a secret three-year sexual affair with an underaged girl? I think not.

Because it was a gay thing, see, Neal Erickson has “rights,” just like Kaitlyn Hunt has a “right” to have lesbian sex with a 14-year-old.

Nobody in the gay-rights movement or the educational establishment wants to admit that this is what is going on, that they are making excuses for gay people to have sex with minors, but that’s what it’s really about. It’s a good thing Neal Erickson isn’t a Catholic priest, or else this might be an actual scandal. But I digress . . .

Thank God, Circuit Court Judge Michael Baumgartner disregarded the pleas for leniency and imposed a 15-30-year sentence:

After making a decision on the sentencing, Baumgartner said he could not believe people were supporting Erickson after the issue came to light.
“I’m appalled and ashamed that the community could rally around, in this case, you,” he said.
“What you did was a jab in the eye with a sharp stick to every parent who trusts a teacher,” Baumgartner added.

 The family of the victim has demanded that the teachers who supported criminal pervert Neal Erickson be fired, and have begun a petition drive to recall school board members who supported the criminal pervert. And guess what happened next?

A garage fire at John and Lori Janczewski’s house on Grandjean Road near Rose City destroyed the couple’s garage and melted the siding on their home early Saturday morning.
Lt. Melvin Matthews, post commander for the Michigan State Police Post in West Branch, said the fire is being ruled as arson. He said evidence gathered at the scene is being analyzed by the MSP crime lab, and new leads gathered since the incident occurred are being investigated.
The Janczewskis believe it was someone responding to their outspokenness against several West Branch-Rose City teachers and a board member, who they said publicly supported Neal Erickson, a former WB-RC teacher who recently pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct against the Janczewski’s son. . . .
John Janczewski said he doesn’t understand why someone would do something like this to his family.
“We don’t deserve this,” he said in tears. “We’re not a bad family. We’ve done nothing but stand up for our son, the victim. They could have killed my whole family. Whoever’s done this has no remorse. They have no soul.”
John Janczewski said he and his wife do not plan to stop. They are currently circulating petitions for the recall of WB-RC board member Mike Eagan.
“Whoever’s done this, we’re not going to quit,” he said. “We’re not giving up. We’re going to continue to fight, until the end.”

School teachers who are insane enough to support a criminal pervert are insane enough to commit any crime themselves.

Erica Ritz told the Janszewski family’s story Monday at The Blaze.

It’s time to wake up, America: Our country is now so close to the gates of Hell you can feel the heat and smell the brimstone.

  3. Mistake/statutory rape, poTAYto/poTAHto…

    I mean seriously, how many times have we found ourselves holding a chainsaw, standing over a corpse, saying “Whoa, that was a mistake?”

    How many of us have been standing outside a flaming church, holding a gasoline can and a road flare, saying “Oops, my bad?”

    Shit happens, man.

    So how about all you h8ers out there withhold judgement unless you yourself can honestly say you’ve never raped an underaged minor?

  4. Two Get Out Of Jail cards being played here: the gay card, and the union standing up for the poor working stiff card.

  5. Uh … “working stiff”?

    Yeah, I’m sure Neal got stiff, working.

    Kinda the fundamental problem here.

  7. Oh, they’ll get even worse revenge as he spends 15 to 30 years in the pen. Other prisoners are usually less than kind to child molesters, and a 38 year old white man convicted of raping a 14 year old boy? He’ll find out just what it means to be on the receiving end, not very gently.

  9. ANY teacher who pleads for leniency for a pedophile should be fired and banned from working with children for life. Of course, here in CA the Dem teacher’s union won’t even let you take them out of the classroom.

  10. Our friends on the left tell us that homosexuality has absolutely nothing to do with pedophilia. Thing is, only about 4% of the population identifies as homosexual or bisexual, so, if homosexuality really doesn’t have anything to do with child molestation, we should see about 95-96% of the child molestation cases involving men molesting girls, and women molesting boys, right?

    Why doesn’t that seem to be the case?

  12. As public school teachers, they are required, by law, to report to law enforcement, any evidence that they see in regards to child sexual abuse. In supporting a colleague who confessed to raping a 14 year old, are they not saying, inter alia, that they would not do their legal duties as teachers?

  13. You betcha. But having family that are public school teachers and growing up around the public teaching community, I can confirm your worst fears. Most teachers, in obtaining their educational degrees, have been further propagandized (although most are already fat-Leftists before pursing teaching as a career) into thinking students parents don’t have a right decide what’s best for their children and what they learn. Add in the Gay Agenda, and teachers these days think it is the States right to separate the children from the parents to make them “proper” non-discriminatory citizens of the Fascist States of America.

  15. You could say Ogemaw County, MI, is a microcosm of just what is going on in this country. Sheer godlessness, utter moral decay. To not only lack the moral compass to even recognize rotten evil staring you in the face, but to actually defend it…..

    God have mercy on those of us who find ourselves surrounded by such lawless souls.

  16. Lots more #freekate spam on twitter today it seems clearly the “donation” tweets were only a beginning

  21. No people on the face of the planet are more intolerant
    or filled with hatred for those who disagree with them than homosexual activists and their fellow travelers. They are bullies. They feel entitled to be bullies. ~ Laura Wood

  23. Yes because it is apparently hateful to defend the innocence of a minor from a predatory homosexual

  24. I agree with you 100%. Just letting you know whats going on. The tweet by “sleepinglion” confirms that some on Anon are cool with pedo homosex
