New Jersey teacher Kelly Mascio may lose job after she reported finding two 5 year old students in the bathroom having sex

This is the second time I’m reporting on this story and the details are still sketchy.  This recent report suggests the teacher in question is being disciplined for failing to supervise the students she found in the bathroom.  That sounds pretty weak to me and avoids the real issue that 5 year old having sex screams child abuse at home.  No way can anyone tell me that these kids picked up that kind of behavior on their own.  They were exposed to it and it’s up to child services to find out how and remove those children from the environment they live in. 

NY DailyNews reports the South Jersey kindergarten teacher who stumbled across two of her pupils naked and "having sex" in a bathroom was suspended for supposedly failing to supervise the students, a teachers’ union official said Monday.

But Kelly Mascio "acted in a professional manner and responsibly reported the incident,” Mullica Township Education Association President Barbara Rheault told the Daily News.

Now school officials are looking to fire the popular teacher who has been with the district for 16 years.

“Originally they said it was failure to supervise her students,” said Rheault.

So far the district has not said why they suspended Mascio with pay, but the police who investigated the incident have not charged her with a crime.

Macio got into hot water on Sept. 30 when she found two 5-year-old students — a boy and girl — naked in the bathroom at her classroom said.

She reported the incident immediately to her supervisor but was suspended later that day. The district conducted an investigation that concluded in December but so far Rheault said they have not released the reasoning for the suspension.
