Teacher Wanted More Than Apples

Lisa Lavoie - hot to trot teacher

Wow! You can't believe how many laws this 24-year-old teacher broke! Guess you can't leave Massachusetts with a 15-year-old student, take him to West Virginia and shack up in a motel with him.

Lisa Lavoie, looking lovely in her mug shot, is being held without bail in West Virginia because in that state kidnapping can be rewarded with a life sentence.

In Massachusetts, she faces a charge of enticing a child under 16 (including a statutory rape charge) and authorities in West Virginia plan to charge her as a fugitive from justice.

Lavoie had been teaching for a scant five months. The boy's mother had contacted Maurice Donahue Elementary School saying she was concerned about the relationship between her son and an eighth-grade teacher. Three days later, they went missing.

Isn't 15 a little old for eighth grade? Just asking.

In any event, you'll be happy to know when they found them the boy showed no signs of having been abused.

If a Piano is Played in the Forest ...

and no one is there to hear it, is the music wasted?

Police in Harwich, Massachusetts were notified by a woman who had been strolling in the woods that there was a piano just sitting there, as if it were waiting to be played.

It took 6 men to remove the Baldwin piano from its resting spot, proof that one person could not have dragged it into the woods.
