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. What did you expect? Enter the camp of your political opponents, spit upon their beliefs and you expected us to fall to our knees and beg you to enlighten us? Go back to the sandbox Miss Special Snowflake, perhaps they are giving out more participation trophies for your collection.

  10. You are never called upon in science to prove a negative.

    Completely and totally wrong.

    There are many negatives that have been proved in mathematics: there is no general way in geometry to trisect an angle using straightedge and compass; there is no general formula to compute the roots of a fifth-degree polynomial equation; there are no positive integers a, b, c, n where a^n + b^n = c^n for n >=3.

    Sorry, buster, but your pop culture atheism doesn’t pass muster here.

  11. When I went back over o.0’s posts I found that it is a female, probably either a frosh or sophomore in a state liberal arts college probably with either a psych major or education major. A Special Snowflake indeed!

  16. I’m not an expert in atheism or theism. I’m agnostic. But even I know this guy is full of shit. It’s like they don’t teach logic anymore. He actually posted a Rand video to me.

    I’m like, dude…I’m a f’king agnostic. What do you want me to do with that? I told him to go to Popehat because I thought he might learn something. Not so he’d send me his propaganda.

    Anyway, I LOVED the mathematics. I don’t understand it, but I love it. The language of the universe. It’s beautiful to look at. Like poetry.

  17. Just remember, if you’re lawful, only kill grey and black unicorns; if you’re neutral, only kill white and black unicorns, and if you’re chaotic, only kill white and grey unicorns.

    Oh, sorry, been playing nethack, my bad.

  23. I don’t know. I don’t think I could eat one. But I’ve been waiting for someone to make some dickhead comment about unicorns for a LOOONG time, just so I could post that Guardian article. And the day finally came.

    And GOD, it was PERFECT.

  24. It appears that Miss Special Snowflake has run out of supplies. Perhaps the adults can again have a sane comment section (at least as long as it takes her to go to the 7-11 for Skittles and Watermelon Arizona Tea plus a big ole bag of crunchy Cheetos).

  27. She…is a minor. In our friggin establishment. And YOU, Mr. President…were serving her up. Just saying. Next thing you know, there’s gonna be kids all up in here and then cops will show up.

    After that…party’s over.

  32. Next time she shows up, you send her back to her mother. She’s not allowed to be here. I already told her that this was an ADULT blog site. And that if she was not an adult she should NOT be here.

  36. I know. It’s hard to tell the difference these days. This guy was actually referring to some of the comments made in the letters from the teachers. You would have had to gut your way through them to get the joke he was making. And let me tell you, those letters…they were horrible. As strange as this sounds…his joke, was actually rather witty considering what was in the correspondence to the judge. It was just disgusting.

  37. You suffer from the delusion that we’re arguing with you, instead of batting you around like a cat with a mouse until you cease to be interesting.

  40. Well, don’t let her back in here. The subject matter on this site is not for kids. And my mouth is definitely not for kids.

  42. I’m not gonna recommend that you read them. I have a pretty strong constitution and it made me pretty angry.

  46. I would not necessarily even link it to Christianity. Jews, Buddhists, and many other groups of people just think that, no matter how one can spin it, exterminating a beating heart and ending a functional brain of a fetus is murder– look at the polls that show wide support for anti-abortion measures that cut across religious / regional / age / etc lines.
