Bipolar disorder

"I offer my deepest apology.

I am very remorseful.

I want the world to see that bipolar is real." Before taking questions during her first public comments since the case began, Lafave thanked Fitzgibbons for fighting for her and showing that mental illnesses "cause good people to do bad things." She thanked her family and her fiancé for their "unconditional love" and said she was undergoing intensive therapy that was "helping tremendously." Lafave told reporters that she isn't allowed to see children as part of her plea agreement, though she hopes to be a mother one day.

Since she is no longer allowed to teach, she said she is pursuing a career in journalism instead.

Asked whether she thought men charged with sex crimes against children were handled more harshly by the legal system than women, Lafave said she didn't.

"I don't think there is a double standard," she said.

"I think we should all check the statistics." The Marion County state attorney's office released a statement Tuesday about dropping the charges against Lafave.

"The court may be willing to risk the well-being of the victims in this case in order to force it to trial.

I am not," Florida State Attorney Brad King said.

"The Florida constitution and Florida statutes make it clear that victims are entitled to protection and to have their wishes given consideration in all criminal cases.

I’m in tears, Debra.

The hysterical part of this story is that LaFave now wants to become a journalist.

You go, girl.

The double standard is that an underaged boy is not harmed by sexual intercourse with an adult woman.

Only girls and women can be harmed.

That’s because our society doesn’t care about boys and men.

Boys and men are impervious to harm, right?

Had LaFave gotten pregnant, the boy’s life would have been ruined from teenage fatherhood and child support.

But, nobody cares because he is, after all, just a male.

NoNonsense Bottom Line: girls who are not forced to grow up, don’t grow up — ever.
