Back around the middle of October the parents of a Boy Scout in Mansfield, Texas started getting concerned that he might be in a relationship with an adult and they did exactly what they should have done as concerned parents. They called the police. After speaking with the child police were led to 33-Year-Old Courtney Lynn Sheward, the mother of another scout as well as a leader in the scout troop and a Registered Nurse.
I guess things have changed. I was involved in scouting off and on until I was about 15 and the only women that were ever involved were the den mothers in the Cub Scouts.
Anyway, after an investigation police now believe that not only was Courtney having sex with the 16-year-old Boy Scout but she was allegedly screwing another scout as well.
Sheward has been charged with Sexual Assault and more charges may be pending in the investigation. She was arrested last Thursday and held on $25,000 bond. I don’t know yet if she is out or not. She has also been removed from her position of responsibility with the Troop.
Courtney’s MySpace is set to private and her last login was back in September, when her status was “busy”

Is it just me, or is this a rising concern. The fact that media, TV shows depict more and more of this works both ways. It increases awareness, but at the same time, exposes children to the possibility of sleeping with their teacher, their classmate’s mom, and other similar situations.
