Teen held in shooting bragged about his troubles

Eric Hainstock was abused as a child

Eric Hainstock, 15, told police he strode into Weston Schools before classes started Friday with a shotgun and a revolver and gunned down Principal John Klang because Hainstock was upset with a reprimand Klang had given him and teachers hadn't stopped a group of kids he claimed was harassing him, according to a criminal complaint.

According to the complaint, Eric Hainstock was upset with Klang because the day before the shooting the principal had given him a disciplinary notice for having tobacco. He also was unhappy because he felt Klang and teachers had taken no action against a group of kids who had called him gay and rubbed up against him.

Hainstock told a friend the principal wouldn't make it through homecoming, the complaint said.

Ex-Teacher Rearrested in Teen Sex Case

A former elementary school teacher who spent six months in jail for having sex with a 13-year-old student was arrested again, this time for violating probation by apparently communicating with the victim.

Pamela Rogers, 28, was arrested Tuesday and released on $10,000 bond. A judge Wednesday ordered her to appear at a July 12 hearing.

Last August, Rogers reached a plea deal to serve nine months on an eight-year sentence, allowing her to avoid a trial on 28 charges of sexual battery and statutory rape. She was released from jail in February for good behavior.

Under terms of the plea deal, she was, among other things, ordered not to contact the victim or his family and not to use the Internet.

Authorities said she violated probation by establishing a Web site through the online social networking hub MySpace.com. The site features a blog that included what authorities said was communication between Rogers and the victim's 17-year-old sister.

Rogers is also accused of issuing a cryptic message to the victim through the Web site by addressing his basketball jersey number, saying he was her hero and that she would not fall in love again for three years.

In Our View - Creative Students

In an effort to keep kids safe, some schools have over-reacted with zero-tolerance policies and unnecessary suppressions of student expression, says David L. Hudson, Jr., a research attorney for the First Amendment Center in Nashville, Tenn.

"Student Expression in the Age of Columbine," examines court cases involving schools' handling of violent writing or art by students. Hudson writes: "Students have been punished for dark poetry, rap songs, Halloween essays ... and other material. In some cases, intervention was necessary, justified or wise. At other times, the fear for safety has led to the suppression of constitutional rights."

Gifts raise ’red flag’

When a Maynard High School teacher gave three students his used Ford Mustangs, bought them dinner or invited them to his home, it should have raised alarm bells, say school officials in nearby towns.

DeMayo has said his client is simply a generous man who took a personal interest in his students.
