She was hired to help educate Lowcountry students. Instead Janet Fackovec admitted she helped a runaway teen hide out.

Fackovec plead guilty to two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The former Stall High school teacher's aide admitted in court on Wednesday that a student, recently released from a detention center and placed in a group home, last year, told her he wasn't happy at home and wanted to run away.

Fackovec admits she told him to do what he thought was best and she'd help him anyway she could.

Fackovec admitted on one occasion she rented a hotel room and on another occasion she let him stay at her house where she gave him drugs and alcohol.

She received a six year jail sentence with all but 90 days suspended received credit for time served. She will spend a total of 84 days in jail.

The judge told her he believed she has learned from her mistake and believes the 17-year old boy knew what he was doing at the time. However, he says he sentenced her due to the fact that the law holds her to a higher standard.
