A central Illinois teacher who sent thousands of text and Twitter messages to a student, and gave him gifts, is now suing the student’s parents for seeking an order of protection against her.
Rita Grunloh was investigated for her contact with the male student, but the McLean County State’s Attorney declined to file charges against her even though he said that some people might find the content and number of the messages, quote, “weird or even disturbing.”
The boy’s parents sought and obtained the order of protection, which was later dismissed.
Grunloh wants sanctions against the parents, saying their request for the order was based on information that they knew was not factual.
