Amy Beck began showing the pictures on local news outlets in California Monday after her arrest. They go within a day. On Wednesday, Amy Beck was the top trending site on Google and her image was everywhere. He was featured in various shows and his name remained a hot topic because of the manner of his arrest – he turned himself in because of the excessive guilt he felt having an affair with a 14-year-old student in 2009. On Saturday there was a public demand to see pictures of the 33-year-old social and English professor.
But does he look different because of his pedophilic tendencies? Hardly. Pedophiles look no different to the average citizen, which is why they are so difficult to catch and incarcerate. But they rarely turn to accuse.
And the public has every right to be involved in what Amy Beck sees. She is now an admitted pedophile, according to Burbank Police. After being fired from her teaching position Friday, Amy Beck, who had taught for 10 years at David Starr Jordan in Burbank, walked into the police station with her lawyer and confessed to a nine-month sexual relationship with a 14-year-old. students He told the police that the fault had driven him to turn himself in.
To make matters worse, Beck has three children of his own.
Amy Beck is a rarity. Most people are compelled by curiosity to see the rarer things. That’s why people love to play shows at carnivals and museums like Ripley’s Believe it or not! While Amy Becker is a rarity among teachers (a few of whom are pedophiles) and among those convicted of having sex with their children (forced by so much guilt that they turn themselves in), she is the very definition of rarity.
People want to see rare images.
One of the best places on the web to find rarities about pedophilic teachers (and alleged pedophiles) is Bad Bad Teacher (BadBadTeacher.com). The site is loaded with information about news teachers who have been accused of having sex with their students. Better yet, show a mugshot or picture of any teacher, like Amy Beck, who has crossed that teacher/student boundary. Although sleeping with a student does not necessarily mean that a teacher with his pedophilic tendencies will remain outside the school system, parents and the general public still have the right to know who will be a potential danger to their children. Websites like Bad Bad Teachers are good resources for monitoring those who have taught and had an inappropriate relationship with students, constantly updating information on bad teachers.
After a conviction, other good resources for finding information about bad teachers are the National Sex Offender Registry (FamilyWatchdog.us) and the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW.gov), where you can search through the databases to find those who are listed. as sexual predators and sex offenders by the United States. There are pictures listed as well.
Unfortunately for Amy Beck, this is the beginning of the progress of pictures, images, and videos that will be available to the public. The 33-year-old teacher has been charged with four counts of having unlawful sex with a minor under the age of 15 and oral intercourse with a minor under the age of 15. He will be arraigned on March 25 and is being held on $175,000 bond, which ironically he told his lawyer, he wants to be released for some time – to stay in jail – to avoid media attention.
