What the hell is wrong with people?

Tonight a 31-year-old Teacher of the Year in South Carolina was arrested on charges of having sex with one of her students. Immediately after hearing stories like this, we in the news business often ask each other, "Now why would you want to jeopardize your Teacher of the Year award, for any reason, but especially for that reason???" We get stories like this all the time. It's very sad. More and more and more and more I find myself asking that question: what the hell is wrong with people?
