| One letter, meant as a short-term farewell note, included a passage that the mother found especially disturbing: "When I was writing this letter, I was crying. My heart was breaking into pieces," wrote the teacher's aide, who has been identified as Areceli Luisjuan. "Oh! I didn't tell you that I like when you put your arm around my shoulder, and if I told you not to do that it's because I don't want to put you in trouble, but I like it…"
Police Officer Ron Chacon comforts 8-year-old Roberto Alvarez, who was weeping over temporary removal of teachers from Miramonte Elementary School.
The episode has become the subject of a law enforcement inquiry and an internal review by the Los Angeles Unified School District. According to the mother, however, sheriff's deputies and the school system failed to take her seriously the first time she brought the matter to their attention.

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent John Deasy announced the action at a tense meeting on Monday evening in which Miramonte Elementary School parents chanted "cover-up!" and accused the school system of failing to protect their children.
Some parents said they were alarmed by reports that students had complained about one of the accused teachers several times in the last two decades.
