A former elementary school teacher from Simi Valley has been arrested and charged with carrying on an illegal sexual relationship with a young student,  perfoming sex acts on the boy. With multiple cases of teachers and sex acts performed on students, how can we prevent these perverts from our schools?

The elementary school teacher and mother of two was charged and being held on $2-million bail for sex acts on a child and oral copulation with a person under 14 years of age.

Brooks, who resigned from her teaching job at Garden Grove Elementary School in Simi Valley June 5, surrendered to police yesterday.

"During the course of the investigation there have been no indications Malia Brooks had any other victims," said the Simi Valley Police Department detective.

The investigation began in February when the school district notified the police department of an incident of 'inappropriate conduct' between Brooks and a student.

The 32-year-old has been charged with one count of a lewd act upon a child, one count of oral copulation of a person under 14 and three counts of genital penetration by a foreign object with a person under 14 years of age when the suspect is more than 10 years older than the victim.

Her attorney said outside court that she was suffering from a mental illness and was now receiving treatment.

Garden Grove Elementary School has provided counseling for any children affected by the events.

One distraught mother, whose daughter attends the school said, "My daughter has a good relationship with that teacher and I still don't believe it."

She said that parents had been aware that an investigation was taking place and said the school had her full support for "trying to minimize the impact on their children."

Why do these teacher stories of sex acts with children keep occurring? These sick individuals have such easy access to children and there should be a better screening process in school.

Here's another perverted teacher tale:

A science teacher at A. Mario Loiederman Middle School in Silver Spring was arrested Wednesday for several sex offenses that occurred at the school, police said.

Benjamin Robert Cano, 33, of the 200 block of Night Haven Court in Edgewater was arrested and charged with three counts of sexual abuse of a minor and three counts of committing a third-degree sex offense, according to Montgomery County Police.

Two students from the school claimed their teacher, Cano, had touched them inappropriately, police said.

The two girls also told detectives that Cano inappropriately touched a 12-year-old female student, police said. A further investigation revealed that Cano had touched all three victims inappropriately between August 2012 and May 2013.
