MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - A Massachusetts schoolteacher found at
a West Virginia motel with a 15-year-old boy whose parents had
complained about the relationship is charged with kidnapping.
Police say 24-year-old Lisa Lavoie is being held without bond
because kidnapping in West Virginia carries a possible life
sentence. She faces a charge of enticing a child under 16 in
Massachusetts.
The boy's mother had contacted the school earlier this month,
saying she was concerned about the relationship between her son and
an eighth-grade teacher. The teen was reported missing a few days
later.
Officials aren't revealing where the boy has been taken, but say
arrangements are being made to send him home. Police say he shows
"no outward signs of physical abuse."
