Carolina Teacher Accused of Cyberstalking Boy, 13

(Burgaw, North Carolina) A 26-year-old 8th-grade teacher at Burgaw Middle School, Megan Mantooth, has been accused of cyberstalking a 13-year-old male student.

In an interview, the boy’s mother said the teacher sent hundreds of text messages to her son beginning earlier this month.

She described some of the communications as provocative.

“She told him, ‘I want you to wrap your arms around me and throw me on your lap,’” said the mother, whose name is being withheld to protect the juvenile’s identity.

Mantooth, married and the mother of a three-year-old, has been suspended from her teaching position and reportedly arrested.
