Second teacher arrested

Second teacher arrest in lewd bondage inquiry http://bit.ly/Ae4SHT (via @cnn)

In one week's time two different teachers at Miramonte Elementary School have been arrested due to allegations of lewd acts on children.
First, Mark Berndt, 61, was arrested and charged with 23 acts of lewd conduct on a child. Berndt was accused of photographing more than two-dozen students while they were bound in his classroom. The photos also show spoons filled with a substance (suspected to be semen) by the students' mouths.
The second teacher arrested was 49-year old Martin Springer. Springer was accused of fondling two 7-year old girls.
It is unknown if the two girls Springer molested were also involved in Berndt's "game".

I said it in a previous article, and I'll say it again. Adults have a responsibility to children. We are supposed to protect them. School system employees particularly make the choice to take on that responsibility. The welfare of others is not optional.
I suppose this issue would make a compelling argument against hedonism. I can only assume the teachers alleged acts gave them some form of pleasure, and it appears that seeking their pleasure was the only concern. I believe pleasure is not bad, in and of itself, but pleasure at the expense of harm to others is wrong.
