60 Yr Old Texas Teacher Caught Having Sexual Relationship With 17 Yr Old Student 

Farley Ashford Simon, charged with two felony counts of an improper relationship between an educator and a student.

Irving police spokesman:

“One encounter was in December of 2015, and another encounter was in January of 2016.” 

The mother of the student was going through her daughter’s cellphone and became suspicious that the 17-year-old girl was having a relationship with Simon, a 60-year-old Junior ROTC instructor. She reported it to school officials.

The district said it placed the second year teacher on leave and “contacted the proper agencies that same day.”

The two allegedly engaged in sexual acts at Luzon Park near the school, and at a Best Western motel in Irving.

 Simon denied the allegations, but they also went through the student’s phone and tablet.

Keyes said:

“The detectives obtained evidence to confirm the encounter did occur at both locations.”

Photographic evidence proves the instructor violated a student… and the law. At this point, there is not believed to be any other potential victims.

The Irving Independent School District released the following statement:

 On January 20, 2016, Irving ISD officials learned of allegations against a male teacher at Irving High School. The district immediately began its investigation and placed the teacher on leave. In addition, Irving ISD officials contacted proper agencies on that same day.

 The teacher, who has been employed by Irving ISD since 2014 as a JROTC instructor, was arrested by the Irving Police Department on February 19.

 While privacy laws prevent us from sharing specific details, we can reassure our families that we took immediate and appropriate action. Being on administrative leave prevents the teacher from working with students and being present on any Irving ISD property.

Florida Teenager Accused Of Posing As A Medical Doctor — Again

 

Via NY Times– A teenager in South Florida who was advertising his health care services had certifications in holistic healthcare. He had lab coats and a stethoscope. He even had a medical office.

What the 18-year-old Malachi A. Love-Robinson didn’t have, officials say, is a medical degree.

On Tuesday, Mr. Love-Robinson was accused of practicing medicine without a license after officials said he was caught performing a physical exam and offering medical advice to an undercover agent. The episode is the latest in a series of encounters with law enforcement dating back to early 2015 as Mr. Love-Robinson tried time and again to portray himself as a doctor.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that Mr. Love-Robinson managed to open and operate his own office, called New Birth New Life Medical Center & Urgent Care, in a building populated by medical and dentistry offices in West Palm Beach, complete with a grand-opening celebration held in January.
In Florida, practicing medicine without a license is a third-degree felony. Mr. Love-Robinson was scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.

Brad Dalton, a spokesman for the Florida Department of Health, said in an interview that a tip from the public had led to the investigation and arrest of Mr. Love-Robinson. The tipster told the authorities that “a person who was portraying himself as a 25-year-old doctor was actually an 18-year-old,” Mr. Dalton said.

Reached by phone, Mr. Love-Robinson said Wednesday that he had been forced to close his office and called the charges against him “gut wrenching.”

I’m not trying to hurt people,” he said. “I’m just a young black guy who opened up a practice who is trying to do some good in the community. If that is a negative thing, we have a lot more work to do in the community than to single out me.”

He said that the undercover agent who posed as a patient came in complaining of an itchy throat. Mr. Love-Robinson took her weight, checked her breathing and checked her temperature, then recommended she visit a local pharmacy for allergy medication.

“There were no scripts given,no medical advice given.”

Mr. Love-Robinson said that he had received a Ph.D. in another field from a “private Christian university,” but he refused to name the institution or the field in which he received the degree.

He also said that he was certified to provide alternative health care.

That certificate was provided by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, a group for holistic health professionals including herbalists and other so-called drug-free practitioners. The organization approved Mr. Love-Robinson’s application after reviewing copies of degrees and diplomas sent by mail, according to the group’s director, Donald Rosenthal.

Mr. Rosenthal said that the credential, which has been issued to some 21,000 people, does not allow for people to diagnose or treat medical conditions.

“We tell them that all they can do is consult and educate,” Mr. Rosenthal said, adding that applicants must sign a disclosure saying they understand that the certification does not substitute for the skills of a medical doctor.

Pretty impressive for an 18 year old! Wondering if anyone helped him open his practice. It just seems too complex of a scam for an 18 year old to pull this off alone. What do you think?

Family Of Tamir Rice Billed For Final Ambulance Ride

 

Associated Press — The city of Cleveland is asking Tamir Rice’s estate to pay $500 for ambulance and medical services he received after being shot by a police officer.

The city requested the money as the 12-year-old boy’s “last dying expense” in a creditor’s claim filed Wednesday in Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County Probate Court. The claim states the money is overdue.

A Rice family attorney calls the claim “callous and insensitive.”

Rice, who was black, was shot by a white officer while playing with a pellet gun outside a recreation center in November 2014. A grand jury in December declined to indict the officer or his partner for the shooting.

A Cleveland police union president calls the city’s claim “unconscionable.”
