Thanks for the Breaking News Alert. Not sure this is Breaking News for Havre de Grace. I noticed you published her name. I thought publishing names was against your policy. Please make up you mind and stick to it.

They don't publish the names of minors.

P.S. this is the BELAIR Patch...

Of course the parents at NHHS have NOT gotten their normal phone call from Principle Herbold telling us what was going on. They call when anything else happens.

Trash...they should publish her name so we know to keep our kids away from her!

This is just crazy.

Publishing names prior to being charged is not permitted. This does apply to Havre de Grace, it is Harford County and appreciate the communication.

Wow.... She has ruined her so many lives. Its very sad! It could have been consensual BUT still doesn't make it right.

And I agree Lady! As a parent of North harford Schools, I learned about this on FB! Really Herbold? You were a joke when I was there...good to see you still are!

She has been charged, thus her name can be published. Horrible news all around.

I know she has. I was responding to Mr. Miller who thinks it shouldnt due to policy.

Wow, you guys have her guilty before a Judge has ruled upon her crimes. Quick to jump to conclusions aren't we? What if the boy is lying? It has been known to happen before and it is sad how it ruins a person's life because of some young adult who tells a lie and doesn't realize the impact it has.

Ah, James, Joe, I was mixed up, sorry. Still a terrible thing.

If she has posted bail, that means she has been arrested and processed and therefore is in the Maryland Judiciary System, which is public record. I see nothing wrong with publishing the name. It says she has been charged, not found guilty. Andto me, this is countywide news...you would read it in the Record and the Aegis, why not in all Harford Patch's. Sounds to me like journalists just doing their job.

Herbold is just doing his job and making sure all information is accurate before submitting to the sensationalism that is media coverage. This is a big deal, but I'm sure Mr. Herbold has reasons for waiting to make an announcement.

Looks like she's already been convicted on this message board-- what happened to innocent till proven guilty?

Remember.... She has only been charged, not convicted!
What if this woman is innocent? Nobody knows the facts beyond the fact that She's been charged!

I don't believe a word of it! This young woman has always been an upstanding citizen in our community. I think the accusations are false!! She is a wonderful person and would never do such a thing. I think the boy made the whole thing up!!

James P. Miller, it seemed appropriate to break the story county wide given that this is a county school system employee and county taxes go toward funding her salary. As for names, Havre de Grace Patch is currently not publishing the names of individuals in the police blotter unless staff intends to follow the case to its conclusion. This story falls under the second category. Patch will follow this case closely and to its conclusion.

Kirsten wrapped it up well in her comment above. The name of an individual charged with a crime is public record. There are some cases where a name is not published. The reasons vary. I'll write an explanation later today as to our policy on naming names in crime reports—which we've updated in recent months.

So because you say she is an upstanding member of he community you blame it on the kid without knowing the circumstances? You are just as guilty.

Shelley there is no such thing as innocent till proven guilty otherwise you wouldn't have to prove anything in court. They should have to prove you are guilty. Courts automatically side with their own side. Officers say one thing you say something different and you are automatically wrong. In Maryland woman have more say than a man. A woman can lie right through her teeth and the courts will believe her over a man in a New York second.

I hope this turns out to be a false report. Its a sad situation all the way around. Im pretty sure she has 3 young sons under the age of 7 at home as well as a husband. They live in a very nice home on a large parcel.... what in the world would drive her to do this? Maybe she was bored with the married life.... She is not a bad looking woman and any man would jump in her pants if thats all it was..... WOW lets hope for the best for all involved!

I think many of you need to clean up your own backyard before you trash somebody else's there are a lot of things in your closets you need to be working on. Maybe we should be concerned about why she got in this position instead of just criticizing her. Maybe we can get some of the garbage off our streets and off our computers that promote this kind of stuff.

Remember the teacher whose family was torn apart and life destroyed by a girl making a similar claim? It turned out to be false... After he killed himself. The name should not be published until convicted in these he said she said kinds of things.

Melvin, I may have a lot of things that I need to work on but having sexual relations with a minor and ruining my own family, job, and name will never be an issue.

I do not have a problem with the names being published. For some reason the editor of the Havre de Grace Patch censors the names from the police blotter, but will publish the names on crimes she thinks are important. I want to see all the names published, just like the Aegis and Record print..

Someone here mentioned consensual. In Maryland dont you have to be 16 to consent? Who are we to say she is guilty or not. Protect our children to avoid the risk should she be guilty, and if she isnt than those pretending to be Judge on here saying she isnt because they were there watching them two, are the winners.

It's news and Patch did a fine job of reporting it. I don't know anything about this woman or this case but right now she's just accused, and deserves due process. So the villagers should put away their pitch forks.

Seriously....out of this article all we could come up with for a 'first comment' was "Hey, this is HdG" and "Why publish a name?".....
I'm glad the Patch is making this known as long as if she if found innocent, they make that known too.
Hope none of this is true, because it's sad and sick.

For those who say "keep her away from our kids" this was a consential thing that occured. Cough cough OCCURED. Also, those yelling at herbold for this it is none of your buisness and its between the families of the victims not the whole harford county public schools to know.

HCPS central office dictates when and how administrators release information. If Herbold was told to wait then he has to. People seem to forget there is a chain of command and a principal is NOT at the top in situations like this.

Yes, people are innocent until proven guilty but when children are involved it becomes a matter of keeping others safe. If she is guilty shame on her, if she is not that kid will owe her a public apology.

As a North Harford Alum I find it disgusting that people on here have the nerve to trash talk Principal Herbold! He is a great principal.

My prayers go out to all parties involved So many people judging the situation when that is GOD's job

Women who have sex with youngsters should be labeled for what they are...pedophiles.

You guys still burn witches whether they are guilty or not up there?

As a north harford student, I would like to add that this kid isn't a victim, he knew what was happening. He's a football player and clearly wasn't forced into it. If she did have a relationship with him, he wasn't saying no.

According to the WBAL website, charging documents state that she has already admitted to having a sexual relationship with this student since December.

This woman has admitted to the charges. It's all over the local news that in the charging documents she admitted to having sex in her car with the boy and exchanging nude pictures via text. So to those that say innocent until proven guilty - she confessed to it.

TO ANONYMOUS - Any WOMAN who has sex with a 15 year old BOY isn't "bored with married life" - she's a PEDOPHILE. This crap about consent, him lying, etc is ridiculous. Don't you think the authorities have investigated and have evidence that goes beyond what this boy is saying? They exchanged nude photos and explicit text messages. SHE'S SICK AND HE IS A VICTIM!

Why is it that if this were a male the headline would be: "Man accused of raping 15 year old - faces life in prison". Every single time when a woman has sex with minors it is a sex offense; a much lesser penalty than rape. When will this disparity stop?

None of us should judge, or take sides in this situation. Unless, you are the teacher or the victim you don't know what truly happened, thus we should keep our opinions on who is guilty to ourselves. She will be judged soon enough, by a jury of her peers. I personally know Amanda and am disheartened by the whole situation, only because how many people this effects. The Amanda I know is a sweet, kind woman who is very involved with her three small children. I think all parties involved, need our prayers at this time, not our opinions on whether this happened or not.

I will bet that Mr Herbold's paycheck comes from HCPS....not HCSO!! This is a police investigation, not a school issue. I am sure the sheriffs office is happy that NHHS did not call each family to inform them of an investigation that he doesn't have all the facts and evidence on and risk hampering an investigation when the community starts their rumors.

Also, according to the reports, Mrs Miller has already admitted she had inappropriate relations with this student, so it is not a made up lie. I know the boy was not raped or forced into anything and knew what he was doing. Not making it right for her but he is not much better being with someone who could be his mother and bragging about it to friends and on social media. Both are sick people!!

Correction -charging documents state she admitted...... so kinda guilty I think..lol

As sad as this is and guilty or not guilty,upstanding citizen or not....If anyone has read explore harford which also is running story..not only is the story the same as reported here appparently..She apparently has admitted wrong doing and bad decision making.I just do not understand what people are thinking when they involve their self in these acts?????????????

Think about her children and husband. What has she done to her poor family? I pray for them.

I know this women and she had always be nice, she has 3 boys and her and her husband are invovled in harford county sports. My son plays football with her one son. You are not guilty until proven so . Let's hope for the best , for her children's sake

Perhaps, and just perhaps, this sort of almost daily news would be of much less frequency if our children would have stronger morals being taught at home. Let alone the incessant promotion and glamorizing of sex and violence in the movies, TV, magazines, and video games. What do we think when we hear James Bond! Cool guy, he gets girl after girl, and kills often times with pleasure. How about 2-1/2 men? So called score after score of one night stands, innuendos of oral sex and group sex. No, NO, I do not watch any, but I am informed of the garbage. The only thing our society censors now is prayer in schools, removal of the Ten Commandments from public buildings, in short everything that is NOT for our detriment can be censored.

For those of you who mention the word "consenual", there is no such thing when you have a person in authority over another, regardless of the age or the perceived "consent", nor (in this case) if the "teacher" was actually "teaching" the victim, who just happens to be a "student"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is permissible by all states standards to publish a suspects name once they are indicted or charged with a crime, just the facts, not innocence or guilt, that comes later.

Don't know anyone involved in this story, but have noticed that these female teachers/ aides mostly seem to be average or above in appearance. What goes on in their minds to hook up with young students? So sad to ruin lives like this.

Is everyone forgetting that mandy miller admitted guilt to the charges ?....ummmmm......hello !!!!!!!!

Her por husband...and her absolutely amazing mother in law.....and has she ever touched any of her own kids ?

She admitted guilt.........what is wrong with this woman.....i ask again...has she ever touched any of her own sons inappropriatley ?

We get your point "Classy Mom". I'm sure no stone will go unturned in the investigation. This is a tragedy for all no matter what the outcome.

That 15 year old got off lucky. She turned ME into a newt!

.......I got better.......

Prayers are with the rest of her family that will be paying the price for her actions! There is no excuse for behavior like this! There should be a law made that does not allow any member of a school system to drive kids to and from school if they are not their own!

Hey Classy Mom, stick to the stripper pole, it's the only thing you're an expert at doing. And please show us where the accused admitted guilt. We'll wait.

Hell, if there's grass in the field. . . play ball. . . The principal will probably call you all after he is done high fiving the kid.

We're all perverts. Half of you probably have porn open in another tab while commenting on this news. It was consensual. FREE MANDY!

Sad no matter how you think about it.

I'm sure ill get flamed for this but its a double standard. If this happened when I was in school 20+ years ago there would be no police, just high fives all around! Ever heard the song "Hot for Teacher"?
