This woman has serious issues:
Tears rolling down her face, a former teacher who faces up to 60 years in prison testified there was nothing lewd and lascivious about her relationship with her 15-year-old student — just love.
Janelle Bird, 25, said she loved him so much that, despite a Pensacola Christian College education that preached against premarital sex, she gave him her virginity.
“He made me feel really comfortable and safe, and I trusted him,” the former East Hill Christian School biology teacher said while sobbing.
“At some point, it hit me that this was not something I should be doing. I betrayed the trust of his parents, and I tried to break it off … and he said ‘You can’t do this to me,’ ” Bird said Thursday during her more than hourlong testimony.
The kid also talked about Bird:
The teen testified that he had loved Bird. But when asked by defense attorney Jerry Allred if he still loved her, the 16-year-old responded with, “Uh . . . nah.”
Bird will be sentenced on October 4th, and she’s facing up to 30 years.

Janelle is just another example of a immature teacher. You can’t sell me on her being a mature adult. She isn’t.
She just needed love. No one likes being alone
this case makes me mad, thats not right that kid said about when asked if he loved this person? If you’re going to risk it and go to prison for having a sexual relationship with someone it better be someone worth it not some dumb kid that is not going to back it up.
I would like to know how I can write to her, if you can help me please do..
