From NBC6:

A Florida woman whose teenage son had sex with his high school teacher spoke out on Wednesday after the charges against the teacher were dropped.

[...]

Lafave blamed bipolar disorder for her sexual encounters with the boy, who was then 14.

The teen’s mother told WTVT in Tampa that she does not see that as an excuse.

“Do I believe she has bipolar? Absolutely. Am I glad she’s getting treatment for it? Yes. But is that an excuse to say, ‘I had no idea what I was doing on five different occasions,’ when she molested my child, that’s a stretch,” the teen’s mother told WTVT.

I’m here to tell you people, a bipolar 1 who is fullblown manic can say and do things she would not have dreamed doing when well. Mania can bring psychosis, hypersexuality, no judgement, and delusions. I’ve seen it happen with my own eyes. This disorder ruins lives.

Man, she got the crap end of this encounter. The boy is butt ugly and his mother should be happy that some one gave it up to him. I bet she was harassed, pressured, and forced by this butt ugly boy and she finally gave in. She is way to hot for that butt ugly boy. Maybe she wanted to be around a butt ugly boy so that she would look even hotter. She may never be the same again. Thanks butt ugly boy you ruined another hot piece…….
