Madison Bergmann, the Wisconsin teacher busted for allgedly ‘making out’ with an 11-year-old in the halls of River Crest Elementary School was constantly thirsting for attention — leaving the family of her alleged victim furious.
“Oh, they’re full of rage about this,” the mom of one of Bergman’s other students told The Post. “They’re out for her head. Everyone is. There are group texts and meetings, and people are checking in with [the family] to make sure they’re okay. It’s a mess.”
While the families are outraged, the mom says there was always something which struck her as weird about Bergmann’s behavior.
“I just suspected something was off,” says the mom. “Just a weird feeling. She was an attention seeker. A selfie queen. Pictures of herself from every angle, pictures of her cup of coffee, pictures of her cute shoes. Just one of those girls.”
Bergmann, 24, has been charged with one count of first-degree child sexual assault. She was arrested after the victim’s parents found texts between the pair, according to charging documents obtained by the Post.
The boy’s enraged father allegedly printed out the conversations and stormed into River Crest Elementary School. The school then contacted authorities, sparking an investigation.
The charging documents allege the texts revealed intimate messages from Bergmann detailing their encounters inside the classroom during lunch or after school — including texts telling the boy how much she enjoyed him touching her and “making out.”
Additionally, cops say they found a folder with the victim’s name on it in her bag. The folder allegedly contained handwritten notes talking about how much they kissed.
In one of the letters, Bergmann allegedly wrote, “One of my cousins is in the 5th grade and I can’t imagine a man talking to her how we talk. I know we have a special relationship and I do love you more than anyone in the world but I have to be the adult here and stop.”
When confronted with the letters, authorities say Bergmann invoked her right to hire an attorney.
Cops do not state how long the alleged abuse had been going on, but Bergmann told investigators she had a close relationship with the family, and she got the boy’s number in December when the family invited her to the Afton Alps for winter break.
Bergmann is free on a $25,000 bond. She has disabled her social media and is not allowed on school property or at school events. It’s unclear if she has yet hired an attorney authorized to speak on her behalf.
Additionally, Bergmann, who was engaged to be married, will no longer be walking down the aisle in July.
“It’s been indefinitely postponed,” a pal of her fiancee said on Saturday. “And it probably won’t happen. He is really upset and heartbroken. He’s embarrassed and pissed. He didn’t deserve this. Everyone is pissed.”
In a note to parents, the Hudson School District said they would provide counseling professionals for Bergmann’s students.
“We understand the gravity of this situation and are committed to providing the necessary support for any child who may be impacted,” the district wrote.
“We kindly request the school community to respect the privacy of Hudson students and their families and refrain from spreading rumors or speculation.”
