Never, and I mean never, should a teacher cross the line and have relations with a student. Nothing good can come of it and in the long run it could lead to more problems. I've seen it first hand with two seperate instances.
If this trend continues, the neighbor owes it to the school system and others to reveal what they know.
Something very similar happened at my school when I was there, and the neighbor ended up telling the Mrs. who started keeping track of her husband. With her information and the neighbor's information, the teacher was fired. But the backlash also took hold of the young student's life as well. She was ridiculed and made fun of at school. I can't imagine what it was like for her, because she had a scorned reputation.
The scary thing is, when dealing with these accusations, is that if nothing WAS going on, the reputations of TWO people are forever ruined. However, if there is something going on, it needs to be stopped because it could snow-ball into something worse, and who knows if he's holding grades over their heads for favors or worse.
On a more personal level, a very close family friend who was my younger two siblings' teacher, was arrested a little over a year ago with charges of sexual molestation and fondeling of two boys. It devistated my family to know that this happened under our nose...and the person we trusted did this. The teacher was finally convicted this fall, and his life is ruined. But thankfully these two boys came forth and prevented this man from doing it to others!
THAT is what I mean by situations snow-balling...who is to say THIS man will stop with this young girl?
