No mistakes in handling of teacher

State school officials said yesterday are defending their decision in the case of a teacher accused of molesting two students. Former schoolteacher Shaun Bryer was reprimanded about inappropriate behavior with students starting in 2004, but Morristown officials say their hands were tied without evidence. The fifth-grade teacher is accused of making friends with the two boys when they were in third grade and later showing them pornographic movies in his home and molesting them dozens of times.
Steve Dale of the state Department for Children and Families says the Morristown School District did the right thing in reporting Bryer in 2008.
