   In a shocking case of twisted misconduct, a 41-year-old Bronx   
   public-school teacher doted romantically on a fifth-grader —   
   calling the 11-year-old her “boyfriend,” records show.   
      
   “As long as without sex, I think its(sic) legal,” teacher Yi   
   Chen Cheng told a friend on Facebook, investigators found.   
      
   A Department of Education teacher for 16 years, Cheng taught   
   music at PS 1 Courtlandt, a pre-K to 5th grade school in Mott   
   Haven.   
      
   According to investigative reports and disciplinary records,   
   Cheng sent the fifth-grader messages adorned with heart emojis,   
   told him often, “I love you,” and expressed jealousy of his   
   girlfriends.   
      
   With a phone she bought for him, they exchanged 563 texts and   
   engaged in video chats at odd hours, chatting about kid stuff   
   like basketball, going to the mall, and dating.   
      
   Cheng is one of two teachers recently fired after disturbing   
   Facebook messages and texts came to light, reports by the city’s   
   Special Commissioner of Investigation reveal.   
      
   In the other case, Dennis Colon, 46, a teacher at Mott Haven   
   Village Preparatory HS in the Bronx, texted a student while   
   driving in June 2017: “I f–king WISH you were my   
   girlllllllllll,” the SCI reports.   
      
   Colon quickly texted other sheepish remarks, including, “Ugh   
   should I have shut the f-?-k up???” Moments later he texted:   
   “Just got into an accident,” and sent a photo of his wrecked   
   mini-van. “Waiting for a f–king Uber right now.”   
      
   The girl turned in screenshots. Records over three months showed   
   680 texts from Colon to her phone, and 350 from her to him.   
   Confronted with his vulgar words, Colon claimed he was “drunk”   
   at the time, quickly realized “it was a mistake,” and   
   apologized. The DOE fired him.   
      
   In Cheng’s case, the boy told probers that his teacher never   
   engaged in sexual behavior with him. The NYPD and Bronx District   
   Attorney’s Office did not file criminal charges.   
      
   But a disciplinary hearing officer, Timothy Taylor, terminated   
   Cheng, calling her conduct “particularly shocking.”   
      
   Records show her estranged husband, who shared a Facebook   
   password, was stunned to discover a trove of notes between Cheng   
   and the pre-teen boy.   
      
   “Don’t use me as a bargaining chip for your gf [girlfriend],”   
   Cheng allegedly wrote in June 2017. “This is the second time   
   that you are telling everyone what I told you. Do you think it’s   
   a joke. Or you think I am a joke? You hurt me again. And this is   
   what you should tell everyone from now, including your gf: I   
   don’t love you, I don’t. Goodnight.”   
      
   The student replied, “Woow first I ain’t tell anybody about u. …”   
      
   Cheng then added, “I feel you are using me to get her jealous.   
   And that hurts because you care about her feelings more than my   
   feeling. And don’t you know how much I love you through   
   everything?”   
      
   Cheng, who has a 5-year-old son, sent a photo of the student to   
   a Facebook friend, calling him her “boyfriend,” reports state.   
      
   She confided she “fell for someone that [she] shouldn’t fall   
   for. [M]aybe because we are meant to be … we know what each   
   other wants without even saying a word … we don’t even fight. …   
   I feel connected to him.”   
      
   Cheng, who did not testify or return a message from The Post,   
   now works for the Piano School of NYC in Manhattan. She gives   
   piano lessons in the homes of students under age 10 with a   
   parent present, a spokeswoman said.
