Locally, over the last few years, a number of teachers have committed suicide after allegations from students have lead to these teachers being fired, and later these students have admitted of fabricating the allegation to gain attention for their own popularity. There has been a big "hush" where teachers have been advised, by legal eagles, not to speak up.

A guy has been fired though he did nothing wrong, Thrown away to the side, Dismissed for a story made up by a girl, Who later confessed that she lied, You see, she’d heard someone say, of this popular guy, That he had liaised once before, Not realising this comment was said as a joke, A joke that he chose to ignore, And then, with speed, she cat-fished his page, She lured him into her web, Then announced to the world this happened for real, These things which were up in her head, And this man who’d worked honest for twenty straight years, Was beaten with a shameful abuse, Humiliated with his art and the verse that he wrote, Violated by the Department for youth.

Hi Maureen, I'm glad you feel something about this. It's become almost common here in Australia. Good men assumed of complete guilt without proper trial. Suicides are increasing.
