Bad Love

Oh, Lisa, Lisa. Don't you understand that the first rule of having an illicit sexual relationship with your 16-year-old neighbor is that his parents can't find out? And that parents get very, very suspicious when their 16-year-old son suddenly comes home with a $40,000 Mercedes?

Unfortunately, Long Island housewife and mother Lisa Frodella, 39, didn't think her gift through. She had allegedly been having an improper relationship with the 16-year old (who goes to school with her two teenage daughters) since January. Frodella would pose as his mother to get him out of school, and then have sex with him in her car or at the local Red Roof Inn. But the whole sordid story was exposed when the smitten Frodella presented him with a 2002 Mercedes-Benz S430.

Like many teenagers, this particular young man knows how to cover his ass. He claimed the car was in return for helping Frodella with her "import-export" business. So to speak.

Here's Lisa's mugshot.

Remember when you were in high school and your Social Studies teacher was 23 or 24? And he or she seemed so mature at the time, but now you think "Damn, how can they let people that young teach high school?" Well, young as they were, at least most of those first-year teachers had the sense not to date us.

Unfortunately, former Miss Texas contestant Amy McElhenney didn't get that memo. A first year Spanish teacher and cross-country coach, 25-year old Miss McElhenney figured she was safe dating an 18-year old student. After all, he's legally an adult. Oops! Turns out that she might have beat the statutory rape case, but violated another law regarding improper relationships between teachers and students, no matter the age difference. So far, five Texas teachers have been convicted under the law since it went into effect in September 2003.

But of course, as one Bad Love reader notes, "She's 25? And he's 18? Aw, let her have a little fun."

Fun? Sure. But still bad love? Definitely.
