Donna Mitchel’s 14-year-old son was in a sexual relationship with the 73-year-old John Beaty, a former Principal at Matinsville Illinois High School. The reports aren’t clear the boy was coerced, forcibly raped or just a confused young man taken advantage by a disgusting pervert. No matter the case the reaction of the parent should be the same, go to the authorities. That’s what the average parent would do anyway.

Donna Mitchel is not the average parent:

TERRE HAUTE, IND. (WTHI) – A woman accused of bribery turned herself in. Donna Mitchell is accused of asking a former principal and teacher for money after she found out he had sex with her son.

Donna turned herself in to Terre Haute Police Monday afternoon in the Vigo County Courthouse. Police say Donna’s 14-year-old son had a sexual relationship with John Beaty, 73, of Martinsville, Illinois.

Beaty is a former principal and teacher at Martinsville High School. Police say Mitchell told Beaty she wouldn’t tell police about his relationship with her son as long as he gave her $300,000.

News 10 asked Mitchell why she’d requested the money.

“I didn’t,” she replied.

The victim’s grandmother, Linda Roberts said she was there when Mitchell confronted Beaty. She said that her daughter’s conversation with the former principal did not really involve money.

Family members say Mitchell only looked to get a confession out of Beaty. Roberts told police she should be the one going to jail.

“I’m the one that told her to let him think his money could buy him out of it. That’s the only reason why she let him think he could buy his way out of it,” Roberts said.

Oh. I get it she was trying to trick him. That’s rational, just as it’s rational for Donna and family to meet with Beaty after hearing he had sex with her son rather than meet with detectives.

Something tells Mitchel and company think we’re stupid enough to believe such nonsense, and that her son is better of in state custody.
