So they resort to stealing?

On Wednesday, February 13, she hid in a locker a second time, holding a phone video camera, with another camera propped up in a second locker.

"I didn't want to believe that she would do something like that because she was so nice, but then she did it," Betti said.

Both cameras show her teacher going through backpacks, with one clearly showing what appears to be money being taken from a pink backpack.

"I was like, oh my God, I can't believe I got this on video and I couldn't believe that I got it and I kept watching it over and over," she said.

Betti and several friends took the video to the principal.

"He said that he'll investigate it and he told us to delete the video but I had already sent it to my dad."

The teacher has been placed on administrative leave and both the Linden School District and the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department are investigating.

No criminal charges have yet been filed. That decision will be up to the district attorney.

Good thing her dad received a copy, and she wasn't stupid enough to delete the evidence. That school board should discipline the principal for suggesting it in a criminal matter.

Wow, the principle told them to delete it?? He should be placed on administrative leave pending investigation also!!
