I knew Mr Martell he was the 7th grade aide and he was chill but now that I know about this I have to say that he should be punished because what he did was wrong. Prayers to the Victim and her family.

Why on earth would you share or have a student phone number? Only way I would speak to a minor out of the school is if there’s a parent present or maybe if there’s a camera with a mic on. Sorry but a miss understanding could ruin your life forever and that always should be in the back of your head. Anytime you’re dealing with kids you have to be extremely careful.

What about Stephanie Carafa? The Lodi mayor's daughter.
They're probably burying her case under the rug since she's the mayor's daughter. Race might also play a part. It usually does in the court system, sorry to say. What they'll do is continue to let time go by, and slap her on the wrist and give the kid's parents a healthy sum of money and keep everything hush hush.
