And continuing on the very disturbing revelations of teacher pedophiles prowling on Facebook, we turn to Mopan Technical teacher, Elito Puc.

Last night we showed you the very explicit and disturbing facebook messages that he sent to a male student. Well, as we said Puc has been dismissed from the school and his license has been revoked. Today we spoke with the Minister of Education, Patrick Faber and he told us about what further action will be taken to ensure that Puc does not teach again in Belize.

Hon. Patrick Faber - Minister of Education

"What has happened is that he of course has been dismissed as a teacher from his school and also his teaching license has been revoked. This will mean of course as well that he will be placed on a register of offenders - so that all those in the education system; and I think maybe a similar type services in government are aware of this kind of practice on his part. So that he can not seek employment in another school. This is something that long been a desire of our ministry - we have seen where predators prey on our young people and of course they move from one school to another school."

Puc has a 30 day appeal period to challenge the decision.
