What's wrong with these adults?

A teacher having sex with her student. A school board member sending sexually explicit text messages to a young boy.

Closer to home, an enraged parent attacking a football coach.

Yes, I know media has a penchant for exaggerating and blowing minor incidents out of proportion.

But seriously, a 24-year-old holding a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy? And a 37-year-old woman elected to uphold the public's trust "sexting" also a 14-year-old? You can't make this stuff up.

Then we hear about Manuel Rivera of Salinas, who did not contest child molestation charges for abusing his students but had the gall to tell the judge he suffered from "erectile dysfunction" and could not have done anything to these young men.

I'm getting sick to my stomach.

To top it off, we have Raynald Adams of Seaside,who's accused of attacking a football coach Wednesday afternoon, when school was still in session, in full view of students.

Really? Are these the examples we want to set for our children? Is that how we're teaching them to solve their differences? With an ax handle?
