worst home teacher ever

profxm, April 10, 2010October 20, 2010

Stetson Hallam, a 20-year old sophomore at BYU, was rebuffed by one of the girls for whom he was a home teacher. His response: Catch her in their apartment complex, use a stun gun to immobilize her, then attempt to handcuff her (unclear what he was planning after that). But the home teachee fought her way free from Stetson using a pretty impressive technique: she bit his finger until he agreed to let her go.

My question: Does this count as a home teaching visit?

(Note: I’m not trying to make light of the assault. That is absolutely not a good thing. I just thought there was a humorous element here.)

    “Well, my calling the cops isn’t.”

    April Fool’s joke? Not really plausible. That would mean that he came by on the first of the month, which we all know is absurd.
