Deborah Lee Tipton, 44, special education and eighth-grade math teacher, Mountain Community School, Hendersonville, North Carolina

Deborah Lee Tipton was charged with first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. Allegedly she videotaped a girl's genetalia and then disseminated the video "for the purpose of producing material containing a visual representation depicting this activity, the defendant knowing the character and content of the performance and material."

That allegation makes my skin crawl.

I have NO IDEA if this is the same Whitney Buck who wrote the blog stayathomemommyblogger

And check this out: There is a social studies teacher at Morehead High School named Tommy Buck. And the Whitney Buck that wrote the blog above, is married to a guy named Tommy. Some coincidence, right? OK, I might be able to put 2 and 2 together. Is it possible that Tommy and Whitney worked together at the high school, and she was banging a student, right under his nose? I can't comprehend that, I feel so sorry for Tommy and those 2 kids, I do not know what to say. Speechless!
