Which if true makes the prior statements make by the school and law enforcement a bit worrying.

Did the school and law enforcement actually make the statements that it was concerning the books. A press release stated that he was removed pending police investigation. I've seen no where where it is said that someone of official capacity stated the books were the reason. I don't trust reporters, they take things out of context, rush to stories, and report on things they know nothing about as if they are the experts.

It could also be an attempt by someone to 'muddy the waters' by claiming that he's got some mental problems. I mean what better way to make it seem more reasonable for them to do this than by making such a claim?

There is no contradiction, it is the same thing.
Much like the way a Dark Ages farmer cannot distinguish between magic and science.

True. I know it's not the same, but our police killed someone by accident a few years ago. They made out he was an alcoholic madman in the press.

The updated report clearly puts the blame on one reporter for jumping the gun. It also clearly alleges there were multiple reasons with the action triggered not by the books but by the 4 page letter. It sounds like the privacy laws, in this part of the US at least, are as all pervasive as the ones here in Australia. Certainly, the authorities are either hiding behind them or frustrated by them. There is no way of knowing which. We do not have the full story and may not end up getting it. In the meantime I'm inclined to accept that novels were not the reason for the actions taken.

Read the reviews at Amazon. It looks like many are buying the book to support the author.

It is still fishy no matter how it is explained.

Although McLaw’s books are “relevant,” Maciarello said, the writings were not a primary factor in the investigation.
That I read as "let's throw mud on the wall and see what sticks." The books may not have been the reason, but they sure as hell are trying to bring them into the investigation. They cannot afford to go on public record stating that the books are irrelevant. But then:
Quote:
Under Maryland law, court records concerning petitions for emergency evaluations are not publicly available.
Then why did they leak it in the first place? Oh, right, because they were so concerned and decided to be more forthcoming. Question is though, did they have the right to do so or not? And why? Let some reporter make the connection to the books, so that the cat is out of the sack. Very convenient as now they can make statements about the books saying they were not the main reason, but still got relevance. Pretty clever to bring in the books that way.

Have to wait and see what happens if and when real charges are being brought up.

It is entirely possible that the story about the books came from the teacher's camp, not from law enforcement. How better to discredit the investigation than to make it look like the guy is being persecuted for exercising his First Amendment rights? After all, consider who gains from the leak of the initial inflammatory story. It's not the government, it's the teacher, who gets to be portrayed as a victim.

There had been a police report about him in 2012, which mentioned the books according to the State's Attorney.
