Teacher boasted to pupil about her love life and encouraged him to take cannabis
Charlotte Doman, a history teacher, also sent the boy, who can't be named, sexual messages and personal pictures on Instagram - including a photo of a tattoo on her thigh A history teacher who sent messages about her sexual encounters to a pupil on Instagram and encouraged him to drink alcohol and smoke cannabis with her has been struck off. Charlotte Doman, 34, has been banned from the classroom after a Teaching Regulation Agency panel heard she called the boy - referred to as Pupil A - her "little duck" and told him she loved him. The watchdog claimed Ms Doman wanted the lad to become her "sexual partner," allegations she denied. Ms Doman was employed at a secondary school in Grays, Essex, when she sent dozens of messages to Pupil A between April and May 2023. In one, she said: "You're not even legal or an adult or anything. Like, am I taking advantage of you? Some days it feels like you're taking advantage of me lol." In messages seen by the panel, she told him: "YOU have all the control in this relationship" and also said: "Love that you're still ignoring me. I'm gonna go get f***** up". She also told Pupil A details about her sexual relationships, the panel found, saying in an Instagram message: "One night I ended up with three different guys". The 34-year-old woman admitted she encouraged Pupil A to drink alcohol and smoke cannabis with her, and said in a statement: "I am unsure why any of this occurred. I certainly don't behave like this myself. I drink alcohol less than once a month and never to excess, and I've never taken drugs." She made comments about the pupil's appearance and messaged him saying: "I literally go get waxed every eight weeks for no one to appreciate it", the hearing was told. The panel heard Ms Doman encouraged Pupil A and his friends to "pull sickies" on a day she was off school, and at least once invited Pupil A to spend time alone with her. "Are you and the boys going to be okay if I have to be off sick? You could always pull sickies and we'll all just game at mine all day," she said in an Instagram message to Pupil A. The teacher admitted she had sent Pupil A messages outside of school hours and sometimes in the early hours of the morning, and acknowledged she told the pupil to "remove all trace" of her from his phone on May 22 that year. Ms Doman denied that her conduct was sexually motivated and said she saw Pupil A as "like her child", but the panel ruled on the contrary. The panel said it did not see any other reason as to why Ms Doman discussed her past sexual experiences, problems in her relationship and a graphic sexual extract from a book "other than if it were in pursuit of sexual gratification or in pursuit of a future sexual relationship". "The context of the majority of not imply that Ms Doman just simply saw Pupil A like her child", the panel said. The panel ruled Ms Doman's behaviour had a "seriously damaging" impact on Pupil A, his parents, the school and its wider community, and that her conduct "had the potential to influence Pupil A in a harmful way". Ms Doman was facing "difficulties" in her personal life at the time, the hearing was told, but the panel ruled that she "did not show sufficient insight in respect of the impact her conduct had on others". In a written conclusion published on Wednesday, Marc Cavey, on behalf of the Secretary of State, decided Ms Doman should be banned from teaching indefinitely, subject to a five-year review period.

‘A beautiful experience': Canadians share moments from funeral of Pope Francis as hundreds of thousands gather at Vatican
For Canadian Brennon Doman, getting to experience firsthand the peace and unity that Pope Francis was known for was 'inspiring.' Doman, from Peterborough, Ont., and his fiancée learned about Francis's death as they landed in Rome on April 21, and immediately shifted their plans to attend his funeral. Their trip was originally intended for the canonization of Carlo Acutis , the first millennial saint, which was postponed because of Saturday's service for the late Pope . 'The mood at the Vatican was very cheerful and supportive. It was inspiring to see so many people come together from all over the world and unite as one, regardless of the heat and sun,' Doman told the Star from the Vatican Saturday morning. Faithful attend Pope Francis' funeral ceremony at St Peter's Square in the Vatican on Saturday. 'Although I am not a Catholic, my fiancée is, and we came together as this is a very important event for her and I am trying to learn more and more about the faith. It was a beautiful experience to share with her.' Hundreds of thousands of people gathered Saturday at Saint Peter's Square in Vatican City to say a final goodbye to Pope Francis, the beloved but polarizing pontiff with a progressive legacy that transformed the Catholic Church. Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the Dean of the College of Cardinals who officiated the mass, said Francis 'immediately made his mark on the governance of the Church,' describing him as a 'pope among the people, with an open heart towards everyone.' The ceremonial funeral of Pope Francis is underway in Vatican City. 'The final image we have of him, which will remain etched in our memory, is that of last Sunday, Easter Sunday, when Pope Francis, despite his serious health problems, wanted to give us his blessing from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica,' he said. 'He then came down to this square to greet the large crowd gathered for the Easter Mass while riding in the open-top Popemobile.' Francis, the world's first Latin American pope, died hours later of a cerebral stroke on Monday, at the age of 88. The Vatican estimated that 250,000 people were at the square and adjacent areas on Saturday morning. Over 150,00 others lined the streets of Rome. he coffin of Pope Francis is carried in front of dignitaries, including U.S. President Donald Trump, centre, and French President Emmanuel Macron, left, during his funeral in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican Saturday. More than 50 heads of state, including U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, were present. Gov. Gen. Mary Simon represented Canada at the high profile gathering instead of Prime Minister and Liberal Leader Mark Carney. Several Canadians described the ceremony as respectful, peaceful — and hopeful, despite the sadness that swept over many Catholics around the globe this week. 'I must say the atmosphere was incredible,' Daniel Horvath, a resident of Peterborough, Ont., told the Star after the service. 'Seeing Pope Francis's modest casket was, in my view, a beautiful touch,' he continued. The lifting of the casket was 'especially moving,' he said. Dan Horvath took this photo of the scene at Pope Francis's funeral on Saturday at the Vatican. After the mass, Francis's body was moved in procession to Saint Mary Major Basilica, his final resting place. His coffin was met by about 40 migrants, prisoners, homeless and transgender people, each holding a white rose. He was the first pope to be buried outside of the Vatican in 100 years. 'The funeral was quite different from (the ones of) previous popes, which was Francis's wish, emphasizing his role as a shepherd and simple pastor,' said Rev. Christian Lindenbach, ordained priest for the Archdiocese of Regina. 'For the conclave, even though the movie (of the same name) that recently came out did a poor job of representing the motives and intentions of the Cardinals and Church in selecting the next pope, it is a special event,' he continued. VATICAN CITY (AP) — Thousands of young people from around the world had come to Rome expecting 'There is a saying that each consecutive pope builds on the previous one. It will be interesting to see who is selected to lead the Church in the world and how that will align with the principles that Francis tried to emphasize.' The date of the conclave to elect a new pope has yet to be announced. Under Church rules, it must begin within 15 to 20 days after the pope's death. Falguni Debnath, a Toronto resident and Catholic who attends St. Michael's Cathedral Basilica, booked a last-minute trip to Rome to attend Francis's funeral within hours of hearing the news of his death. 'Pope Francis was the pontiff when I became a Catholic. He has a special place in my heart,' Debnath said just as the ceremony began. 'I am feeling a great sense of sadness. The world needs a Pope Francis more than ever. A leader who listened, who sought to understand those who were different, those who were marginalized.' With files from Star staff and wire services

False claims about US general being killed in Gaza spread online
"BREAKING: Reports confirm the death of General John Pagri, Commander of the Special Tasks Battalion in the U.S. Army, in the Gaza Strip," says an April 6, 2025 X post with more than 30,000 likes. The post also includes an image of two US soldiers holding firearms, with a mud brick wall in the distance. The same claim has circulated elsewhere on X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads and TikTok -- including in Spanish, French, Arabic and Turkish. The Pravda Network, a group of websites the French government has accused of spreading pro-Kremlin disinformation, also amplified the claim. The Israeli military restarted its ground and aerial offensive against Hamas in Gaza after a ceasefire between the two expired on March 18. Since the truce ended, at least 1,690 people have been killed, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory. While the United States has lent considerable military and economic aid to Israel, there have been no announcements that American military personnel would take combat roles in the conflict that began with Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. US military personnel were stationed in Israel to help locate American hostages held in Gaza, but an AFP search of the US Army and National Guard databases of current generals showed no officer with the surname "Pagri." A US Army soldier died in November 2024 after being injured during a problem-plagued operation to establish a temporary aid pier on the coast of Gaza, but Heather Hagan, a spokesperson for the United States Army, said there have been no American soldiers killed in Gaza recently. She also said the soldiers in the photo circulating online are wearing camouflage uniforms that the Army retired in 2019. The men in the image appear to be wearing combat uniforms with the Universal Combat Pattern that the force discontinued in favor of the Operational Combat Pattern (archived here). A reverse image search reveals the photograph was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a website that collects free-use images, with a description that says that it was taken in 2007 in Iraq's Babil province (archived here). Wikimedia Commons credits a blog post from the US National Guard as the source of the image. While the site has since been deleted, an archived version available via the Internet Archive says that the men in the image are two sergeants named Robbie Doman and Christopher W. Sullenberger. Doman, standing in the middle of the photograph, received media coverage in 2017 when he appeared on the NBC television show "American Ninja Warrior" after being injured in an explosion in 2008 (archived here, and here). Several US media outlets published images of Doman from his service in Iraq, which are similar to those used in the social media posts (archived here). AFP has debunked other claims about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict here.
