- Ten face trial in teen pimping scandal (27 Sep 10)
- Man jailed after getting 12-year-old pregnant (31 Jul 10)
The preschool principal received a tip on Monday morning about the Twitter posts.
"[Name of school] preschool Start 9.30am. Think I will rape 6-7 young girls," the man wrote on Twitter on Monday using his iPhone.
"I informed the parents. Some chose to pick their children up earlier. Later, I called the police and asked if they could trace the message. When I read it, they thought it was very serious, so they came here," the principal told GP.
The principal continued following the Twitter feed, on which the substitute teacher also wrote, "Haha. A little girl thought my name was Max. That was too cute *smile*"
"Got myself out of changing diapers all day. Pooh", read a later post, followed by "Finishing at 5:30pm. Dying."
The principal suspected the new substitute teacher since the Tweets appeared during the man's coffee and lunch breaks. The principal said police took the man in for questioning.
The substitute teacher confessed immediately and is now under suspicion of being a threat to groups and may not be able to return to his temporary position.
Following the police interrogation, the man was subsequently released.

Ummmm is this even still in question???? Obviously this man does not belong around young children, whether he was kidding or not!! Freudian slip, if you ask me!
Along with the film and music industries these are the dregs of society.
And Argentina84, a 21 year old male is not a boy, it's a man, and what is wrong with 21 year old males taking care of little kids? Hint: most are not pedophiles.
Honestly what is wrong with you two?
Again BE AWARE OF PEOPLE LIKE HIM! -

Yes, I most certainly am.
Child pornography is great says the music industry:
http://christianengstrom.wordpress.com/2010/04/27/ifpis-child-porn-strategy/
or a horse with covered eyes, cant see left and right, I did not have a certificate to work with children!! but I have a master in psychology..I got the job, and improved many things happening in children school...but luckily the person who intreviewed me was an open minded person very clever smart!!! and precise..
She didnt care if I was not blond or had a big certificate... she saw my character and how I behaved with children!!
Other certified teachers were like robots!! in their own world..its always the shepard that can steer the sheeps...not a sheep!!!
So i hope in future that employers do a proper interview with people and not just view their blond hair and certificate...God darn it I saw a teacher who never smiles never jokes, never anything just a cold blooded creature!!! she has a class of 42 children under her..if i was to be one of them I would get constipation on a daily basis!!! BUT YEAH SHE GOT LOTS OF CERTIFICATES!!!
and a law that protects her!!
Hahaha....Iron E you and your comment is a big joke for today...
joke or not, this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the line.
In which case he has done the right thing, strange as it may seem.
beautifully said!!! I like how you put it down..
It true, there might have been some in his heart that caused him to write down and warm before he does something pervert!!!
its something deep in the psychology of the mind...Like some children do they fake suicide to get their parents attantion and love, they go through 90% of the way and wait for the parents to take action and stop them at the end...:-) so he gave his signals to be stoped, its his inner mind that sensed the danger and made him do something stupid to save himself from committing bigger crime.
The headteacher has made clear he wil NEVER be coming back in any shape or form
However I wonder why the Local has chosen to describe him as a *teacher* rather than as a temporary assistant as it is my understanding that the guy was a temp substitute - it is not possible to be a qualified pre-school teacher at the age of 21 in Sweden.
But I gotta say, on a level rarely surpassed in stupid
Swedes tend to be very literal, thus their awful sense of humor. A Yoke either has to be absurd slapstick or told by someone known as a comedian, or the comedian wears a red nose so everyone knows they're supposed to laugh. Cliche's are rife in Sweden because everyone knows it's okay to laugh at them.
What's really sick is the majority of people ready to pass judgment with only a very superficial view of the facts. Maybe they don't realize no matter how thin the pancake there are always two sides, and only fools judge without seeing both sides.
Lots of fools here abouts.
What is, however, somewhat funny in the article is the last line "and may not be able to return to his temporary position" ... doh!
I'm not trying to be provocative--I just don't think anyone intelligent enough to get a job is so stupid to tweet such intentions seriously. His stupidity lies in the fact that he failed to understand the numb Swedish funny bone and the hysteria in the public about child abuse.
Be afraid, be very afraid, there's monster on ever street corner. Better stay in bed--but then, what about the person in there with you?!! Yikes!
Thanks to the hysteria, anyone working with other people's children has to be crazy.
SEE...the law is even getting into Tweeters and MSN and Phones and chats, fbook etc...
The law is not sleeping they are awake and doing their job just fine...But some Political parties make Sweden come across like a little girl with no self defence..
although Sweden has very strong very safe and wise rules..that USA will never ever dream of having, USA has abusive laws and police that can strip you on the streets if they want to..
But YET they cause more agrevasion and terro with their laws..Sweden has so many cultures but Yet its safe and beautiful...
B4 coming here ppl said Sweden is debochery, but I found Sweden to be more pure more clean more civilezed and more religious and a better place than any other country on earth...All what I heard was not true..you get more chance to have a paid sex and debochery in the middle east than in Sweden...Women know what they want and people are not hungry!!! Women are Equal to men and not a weak link that gets used and abused in comparison with middle east and others..Sweden is strong in its multiculture and what made it this way is the welcoming Swedes who look at the world as one country and believe that all human beings are equal...Amazingly this county is not ruled by Religion but Yet its has more ethics than so called Religion countries...
Stockholm the heart of Sweden looks like its the world and a beautiful garden you dont need to go to Africa to see its culture you dont need to visit Japan to meet the Japanese..You dont need to go to Lebanon to eat Falafel and homos..
its all there in Sweden!! Go Sweden We love you forever
Surely pedophilia is - and always must be - one of the world's few remaining taboos that's not up for for a laugh?
