I was curious about details so I tried to search for more info and I discovered:

  1. there are so many websites that just posted exact duplicates of this article
  2. teachers being arrested for child fight clubs is more common than i thought

A lot of "local" news stations do this because they're almost all owned by two companies- Sinclair and Nexstar. If you add "-Sinclair -Nexstar" to your search it may filter the duplicates out.
