FONTANA, Calif. -- A Southern California high school teacher was arrested on suspicion of directing students to assault at least one other student in a classroom hazing incident, police said Sunday.
Emmanuel Delarosa, 27, along with four students were arrested Saturday after a student who said he was a victim of the hazing contacted school police, Fontana police Sgt. Robert Morris said.
Investigators alleged that Delarosa, a summer school teacher at A.B. Miller High School, knew about the hazing — and in at least one instance directed some students to carry out the hazing to curb behavior problems in the classroom, Morris said.

He declined to describe the nature of the hazing, citing the ongoing investigation.
At least one student suffered minor injuries, Morris said.
NBC Los Angeles reported that several students has been interviewed by detectives.
Jail records show that an 18-year-old student arrested in the case faces charges of assault, child cruelty and attempted sodomy. Fernando Manuel Salgado was being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Wow, this story is a whole lot of nothing.
A certain teacher (let's call him Bob) did a certain something (we wont say what) that may (or may not) be illegal but was arrested (we wont give the exact actions that lead to his arrest) along with 3 males (we wont give their names).
Really informative.
They never inform us of much. Click the NBC Los Angeles Reported link (just to the left of Charles Barkley)and you'll see more info.
Sounds like the teacher had a few summer camps with Sandusky.
1 - they can't say what the teacher did, they can only say alleged, because he is not guilty until found guilty in a court of law and to say he's guilty now would violate his rights as a criminal (sorry, alleged criminal).
2 - no one ever prints the nams of minors, unless the minors and guardians give permission to do so. They printed the names of the teacher and the 18-year-old student.
3 - the alleged actions included attempted sodomy. child cruelty and assault.
I got all of this out of the story without reading the linked article.
(sarcasm)
I still don't see why we should pay teachers more to attract higher quality educators.
Isn't it just baby sitting for 8 hours a day and paid vacations?
You get what you pay for!
Can I be in your club????? Please??? You can beat me up and piss on me!!! Please???
WTF?
This happened in California? I am Jack's complete lack of surprise
"in at least one instance directed some students to carry out the hazing to curb behavior problems in the classroom, Morris said."
So that's how they curb behavioral problems in CA. Hmmmm............Maybe this teacher is on to something.
In this day and age I am extremely shocked that Teachers, Administrators, Parents and Students still think they will get away with crap like this. From sex scandals, to encouraging bullying/hazing; they MUST know that crap like this is going to end up in the news or on YouTube.
Honestly, I think at this point any adult or adolescent that participates in these kind of activities are just looking to get famous fast. Whether it's positive or negative attention from the media.
Well better to report what little they can so people know then not report it and leave people in the dark. Imagine the uproar if way after the fact people found out this happened and nothing was said about it.
This story is like an iceberg: 10% of facts released; 90% is hidden under water. I don't think the teacher woke up one day with "How can i make someones life miserable ?" agenda on his mind. I am sure there were some behavioral events leading towards the teacher's reaction.
I may or may not like your post.....
:-)
Child cruelty and attempted sodomy: how proud their parents must feel about their Rapist son!
What makes you think the parents even care? The apple does not fall far from the tree.
"how proud their parents must feel about their Rapist son!"
You'd be surprised at how proud some parents feel when their kids do bad things.
The pubbies are asking "what's wrong with how they treated the kid they hazed?" after all their dear leader Mitt does the same thing to homosexuals............... so it can't be wrong
Too many damn sicko's in this world with perverted outlooks. Most of this seems to come from poor parenting and leadership. These sicko's harm so many people emotionally and physically, it is unreal. There definitely is a need for guidance, training, screening and mentoring for these peoplle along with surveillance to make sure it never happens agaiin.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families.
A young man has "behavioural problems" so they haze him to make him better. What kind of sicko whacked crap is that? Read the "parent article" to get more information.
I think any issues he may have had are insignificant to the new ones brought on by this hazing.
The link is in the article....NBC Los Angeles Reported....
It is the same line of logic as the belief that 'bullying builds character'.
they subscribe to the conservative approach to treating "those people" to what they deserve just like Mr. Mittens. I'm surprised they didn't shave the kid's head just like Romney did.
California sure has some interesting teachers. ;)
The names say it all. When are we going to take these Mexican animals seriously?
No comment....my mistake!
"Mexican animals seriously?"
Seriously? Mexican? How you know he's from Mexico? But I guess your family name isn't taken serious at all, hence the envious comment.
Please go jump off a bridge...the name says it all. F off you racist pig!
America has animals of all nationalities. I live in the mid-west and all of the mexican people I've seen have been working hard and always ready with a smile and a wave, which beats the hell out of many of the other people I see. Oh, and when I say "Mexican people", I mean people who look Mexican and have the accent, I'm not trying to sound like a bigot and don't mean it in a bigoted way.
This sounds like assult, not hazing. I am not sure how this would help classroom behavior. Duct tape and one charged with attempted sodomy. Not sure how that would help anyone behave. What the hell is wrong with people.
The word hazing is just being used as a 'nice word' for bullying. And in reality, all bullying is either battery or/and assault. These silly, trendy anecdotes are used to make those in the wrong feel good.
Need to stop pouring money, into education and start building more prisons
Says the guy with the incomplete sentence and the superfluous comma.
Yeah, who needs an education when there is housing provided free of charge, 3 meals a day, clothing, and even a job waiting. The American dream.
Mr. Thanatos: Excellent! You gave me a much needed chuckle and I thank you. I'm also praying that my punctuation is acurate. lol
;)
You spelled "accurate" wrong....
LOL you used an extra period in your ellipses.
There is nothing like watching a seed grow into a beautiful tree.
What the hell is it with CA and it's teachers??? I mean seriously.....what the hell with it???
CA is a "safe haven" for perverts.
Sandusky's wife moved to CA?
Mr. Thantatos - made me chuckle - too! Thanks
:)
Interesting definition of hazing they have in California these days.
Well, let's have a few more gay pride and rainbow parties, so the teachers and football coaches get their techniques right!
Get a life WychDoctor Idiot
The teacher needs to be schooled. If the "victim" was disruptive the proper steps should've been taken to expell him. Peer pressure can work to correct behavior but the manner in which it was used in this case was wrong.
You're right, steps SHOULD have been taken to expel him. After teaching for 20 years, when I read a story about a teacher doing something ridiculously stupid like organizing a Code Red I generally believe that he was pushed to it by the "what do you want me to do about it" attitude we get from the front office.
Not saying I'm defending his actions, nor saying that every teacher is perfect and right all the time because I know very well there are some incompetents out there. I am saying the frustration level among good teachers is very high, and it's not going to get any better without a significant change in society.
southcentral LA is a third world nation right here in the backyard of america. filth in chinatown, crime around all different types of gang names, trouble. that's all you find there.
Fontana isn't in SouthCentral L.A. It's 60+ miles outside L.A. in the "Inland Empire" of San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Been there once. Place is an armpit.
I lived in LA for a while and locals referred to Fontana as "Fon-tucky". I was there a few times and have to agree with GB. "Armpit" is a good description. Never quite understood the Inland Empire thing either. It's definitely inland, but describing that area as an empire is hilarious.
@scir91onYouTube
You're probably right, but you seem to had gone to school there. Just sayin.
If anyone really wants to look, a line could be drawn from Ventura through Bakersfield to around the desert cities and Imperial County to the International Border - and to the west, it is all becoming the same. Even now including parts of Santa Barbara. (Yes, I know there are pockets like Palm Springs or Southern Orange County. But, just pockets.)
There are a lot of armpits in So Cal.
Welcome to Mexifornica. You thought the movie "Born In East LA" was funny, but this stuff goes on all over LA.
Fontana is not in L.A. It's a podunk sh*thole a couple hours drive from Los Angeles. But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good bashing of L.A. when you can look both racist and ignorant (or is calling you racist and ignorant redundant?).
You're being a jerk GB, can't be talking smack about people born that way. It's not PC.
"Jail records show that an 18-year-old student arrested in the case faces charges of assault, child cruelty and attempted sodomy"..... attempted sodomy? Really? Somebody is going to be in trouble and I am glad. When are people going to learn? Enough already!
"When are people going to learn? Enough already!"
To some, it's when they're dead.
Released on bail, huh? With those kinds of charges, that's the last the courts will see of him. He will be running for the border, heading south.
Unless there is a march in the streets claiming he is being persecuted because of race.... but that's hard to do in California when you are Hispanic/Latina.
What a shame....it's time we show these students how we deal with law breakers in this country
...amnesty and free college tuition for all!!
Viva La Raza! (mariachi music plays in background)
who is this guy? this so called teacher. does he have credentials? certifications? education himself? is he so efficient at implementing the curriculum and lesson plan that all students in the class are performing at or above the standard and this (literal) jerkoff has time to facilitate these types of extra curricular activities. he does not deserve to be referred to as a teacher. prosecute him and give him the title he does deserve, criminal.
He should have the same thing done to him and several times at that.
No wonder our educational system is falling through the cracks in the floor.
At one time, it was simple. You attended school to get and education. Grades were not given to you, you earned them. And if you wanted to get into college, you had to have good grades. The ones with the highest grades and SAT scores, were admitted. If you fell behind, you had to make it up. Now we spend time on this BS. This country has been blessed, and we are throwing it down the drain and being politically correct. I would love to see this teacher's credentials. His college, high school, and admitting test scores. I would bet, that for some reason or another, he did not make the grade then either.
At times, I have met teachers who tell me that nowadays, the parents demand that passing or good grades will be given to their children. (Around Los Angeles.)
The parents of the boy who was attacked should get the teacher aside and do the same thing back to him, if it were my son this teacher would have to run far and wide to get away from me.!
"At least one student suffered minor injuries, Morris said that several students has been interviewed by detectives." What has happened to reporters that know the English language? Where are the editors? A simple error of using "has been" instead of "have been" shows the decline in the quality of journalism today.
Universities need to include a course in "common sense" seems like so many young teachers are lacking this attribute.
The critical thinking courses were supposed to have helped with common sense.
What is wrong with these people?
Mexico mentality
Sad when an authority figure lets kids down like this. This "teacher" needs to have the book thrown at him.
Sounds like good old innocent horseplay to me.
Thanks,

There is absolutely no place for hazing whatsoever- especially in a high school. Idiots!
