Dallas mother on why she extorted teacher
Dallas schoolteacher Thao Doan was arrested after being blackmailed for $28,000 by a middle school student she had sex with, in exchange for his silence about the affair
The mother of a 15-year-old student who blackmailed his teacher out of $28,000 after the two had a sexual relationship has spoken out.
Thao 'Sandy' Doan, 27, was taken into custody after the student's mother approached the school with screenshots of messages between her son and the teacher, pleading that they stop her from continuing to give him money.
Doan taught the student 8th grade math last year at Raul Quintanilla Senior Middle School in West Oak Cliff. She also coaches track and cross country.
The student's mother had met Doan many times throughout the school year and tracked her down as the source of the suspicious texts.
Her son said: 'Aint b'sing watch ima start getting the pics and everything ready to show the cops. Right i aint playing.’
The student is currently in a juvenile detention center for unrelated charges of robbery and burglary. His mother believes he spent the hush money on drugs.

Nidia, who agreed to speak with Fox 26 if her last name was not used, said that she does not excuse her son's behavior, but that 'an adult should know better'.
She said: 'This is very hurtful, because he's a victim here. He was a child, he still is a child, but it hurts me because I've been through a lot with him.
'At times, he started getting into drugs, drinking, leaving the house. And he would probably get money and just leave the whole weekend,' Nidia said.

She continued: 'This really changed my son. This turned him into a person that he wasn't.'
When Doan was apprehended, she admitted the affair to police, and said that the student had been threatening to disclose their relationship unless she paid him.

She told police that the two had corresponded via Instagram before having sex in a park in June 2015, and continued the affair throughout November and December.
She began receiving threatening messages and texts on New Year's Day of 2016, and calls from different unknown numbers organizing drop off payments, according to NY Daily News.
Doan took out payday loans and withdrew cash from her account totaling $28,000 over the last year so that the unnamed student would not expose her.
She also admitted to sending him sexually explicit photos. She now faces a felony charge of improper relationship between a teacher with student.
