B2 Metro Boston Sunday Globe APRIL 20, 2014 Parents seek answers after teacher's arrest New England in brief room to film students undressing. The school district has placed him on paid administrative leave. Jeff Young, superintendent of the Cambridge public schools, told parents at the meeting that when the district hired Wairi, his criminal offender record information check did not reveal any record. Before the meeting began, a woman who declined to give her name, said she is overwhelmed and concerned about her 12-year-old son, who was one of Wairi 's 16 students this year. She and several others also expressed concerns about an overnight nature trip their fifth- and sixth-graders had taken with Wairi and other school staff members.

"What kind of help can I give my son? How can we explain it to him?" she asked. "We weren't going to tell him until after the meeting, which was supposed to be next Wednesday, but he saw it on the news, and now he's asking questions." The meeting was held Saturday instead of this coming Wednesday, because many par last name be withheld, said Holik told parents they would be notified privately if their child's image appeared in any of the pornographic materials related to the ongoing investigation. He said he is deeply bothered by the possibility that images of his daughter could be spreading online. "It's like a universe, once it's there," he said. "You have no control of it." He said the psychologists who spoke were informative and reinforced ideas he had, such as keeping explanations to children simple.

Dr. Larry Berkowitz of the Riverside Trauma Center told parents to refrain from interrogating their children about any suspected abuse and not to scare their children. School psychologists and social workers will offer support to students and parents, Young said. Kathy Greeley and Claire Dahill, who teach literacy and math, respectively, at Graham and Parks, will teach Wairi's class until the end of the year.

Man arrested on charges of taping in locker room By Alyssa Creamer GLOBE CORRESPONDENT CAMBRIDGE About 100 parents gathered at Cambridge's Graham Parks School Saturday morning seeking information and guidance from school officials after a fifth-grade teacher was arrested on child pornography charges. Law enforcement officials arrested Josh Wairi, 27, at his Somerville apartment Thursday.

Wairi had suggested that Graham Parks participate in the Nature's Classroom program, according to Sarah Fiar-man, the school's principal.

She said on Saturday that Wairi told her he'd taken students on the trip during his time teaching at Somerville schools between 2008 and 2012. Fiarman said Graham Parks held the trip for the past two years, and at least 10 school officials and parents chaperoned it.

CONCORD, N.H. House to vote on 4-cent fuel-tax hike New Hampshire's tax on gasoline and diesel would rise for the first time since 1991 under a bill being voted on by the House next week. Supporters say the proposed 4-cent increase would provide much-needed money to fix deteriorating roads and help finish the expansion of Interstate 93 Opponents say the hike would cost consumers and truckers at the pump and lead to higher prices on goods and services. The bill would increase funding for highway improvements for two years, then earmark about half the proceeds to pay off $200 million in borrowing to finish the Interstate 93 expansion. A joint House committee is recommending passing the Senate bill directly to Governor Maggie Hassan, who has said if a consensus is reached on a tax increase, she will sign the legislation.

New Hampshire's 18-cent tax is the lowest in New England and would remain the lowest if it is increased 4 cents.

"He was the same age as my grandchildren, so it hits home big time," said Lori Lavoie, 45, of Fitchburg.

The question that should be asked is, who can lead DCF for the next eight months?" he said. "That's not a legislative function, that's a function of the governor." DCF Commissioner Olga Roche, who has been at the center of much of the controversy surrounding her agency's handling of the Oliver case, said in a statement Saturday that DCF is focused on caring for Jeremiah's siblings.

Questions about Elsa Oliver's mental state have swirled throughout the case, though on Jan.

Reardon said he did not know what sparked it and he declined to say where she was being held. "I still strongly believe that Ms. Oliver is not competent to process the magnitude of what's happened, and understand the procedure which is occurring in the legal system," he said.

"And obviously, I'm concerned that the prison transferred her to a mental health facility." He said he had not spoken to his client after the district attor Lottery Jeremiah. He was a sweet boy." As night fell and the crowd grew to near 100, the Rev. Stephen D. Mayo, pastor of the Elm Street Community Church, and the Rev. Thomas Hughes, pastor of New Creation Community Church, led brief prayers.

Hughes called on those present to treat their own children with patience, never violence, and to support Jeremiah's family. "We don't have to look anymore," Hughes said. "The hunt is over. Our Jeremiah is home." Though the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families had been monitoring Jeremiah's family for two years after allegations of neglect, offi-cials did not realize he was missing until December, when his 7-year-old sister told school staff that she and her 9-year-old brother had been physically abused at home and that she had not seen Jeremiah in a long time. The last time she saw him, she said, he was bleeding from his hand and their mother was afraid he would die from the wound.

An investigation into the boy's disappearance found that the assigned social worker had skipped mandatory monthly visits since last April. The worker and two supervisors were fired, and the case has sparked investigations into systemic problems within the agency.
