Boy: Friendship with teacher led to sex

When you end up having sex, that teacher doesn't want to be just your friend. An interesting part:

The Mexican official who captured the pair with the aid of a GPS-enabled cell phone said the boy shed no tears while Peterson wept as the two parted Friday night at the police station.

"She said to the youngster that she loved him and would always love him in her heart," said Alfredo Arenas Moreno of the Baja California state police.

Arenas said the woman admitted having a sexual relationship with the boy but felt it was unfair that she would be branded a predator and separated from her 8-year-old daughter.

"She said her life was basically over, but if she had a chance to do things differently she wouldn't," he told the AP.

"Unfair she would be branded a predator..." In what way is that unfair? Because she "loved" the boy? Because she's a mother? Can you imagine the outrage if it was a male teacher with a female student?

And maybe I'm disillusioned by anything from AP (and on Yahoo! News, no less), but the report sounds oddly sympathetic to the teacher for some reason.... And to the illegal immigrant angle of the story.
