KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — In a tragic twist to a familiar story, a teenager who had sex with his married 30-year-old teacher was fatally shot outside the woman's home, and authorities have charged the woman's husband. "You see all this stuff with teachers involved with their students. It just comes up time after time on the national news," said Norman McLean, father of suspect Eric McLean. But this time, he said, someone "actually died over it."When you come right down to it, a teenager porking your wife still adds up to somebody other than you porking your wife.

"Huh huh! I been drillin' her lights out!"
"He wouldn't let me answer my cell phone," Debra Flynn recalled. "I said, 'Why?' He said, 'Well, Mom, I'm going out with this girl.' I said, 'So what?' He said, 'She is a counselor at school.' I said, 'Oh, my God, Sean."'
"Is she married?"
Flynn, whose son sometimes stayed at her home in Nashville, said she later found text messages on her phone. "Come home. Baby, I love you. You are beautiful," they said.
"I mean, my son only had the one talent..."
She believes Erin McLean preyed on her son.
"Yeah! He wuz innocent!"
"These teachers are feasting on our children in school and something has to be done," Flynn said.
He was a horny little beast, just like most 18-year-olds...
Powell "was a great kid, full of life," Flynn said.
Not anymore, he's not...
He had taught himself to play guitar and just received his driver's license. His adoptive parents, Scarlett and Jack Powell, had just bought him a car. But he left school on Nov. 20 and did not return. School officials refuse to explain, citing privacy laws. Flynn said her son had a substance-abuse problem and went to rehab for less than a month.
So he was a horny young druggy who was porkin' his teacher and somebody blew him away for it? Tusk tusk. My heart simply bleeds. [Urp!]
Norman McLean described his son, one of his eight children, as "an excellent person," who was not violent, but he acknowledged that his son "had a lot of burden on him for months now," referring to his wife's affair.
