Joan Tuckruskye, Long Island PTA Official, 13-Year Old Boy Caught Half-Naked in Vehicle in School Parking Lot

Joan Tuckruskye, a Long Island PTA official has been charged by police with endangering the welfare of a child after police say she was caught half-naked in a car with a 13-year-old boy. Okay, I don't usually advocate violence, but if I were that parent, I would take a bat to her head. Tuckruskye, 44, of Baldwin, N.Y., was found with the boy in the parking lot of Meadow Elementary School. When an officer approached the Nissan Pathfinder, neither was wearing pants, according to police. "They were in the back seat," Nassau County police said.
Endangering the welfare of a child is a misdemeanor. Aronsen said further charges were possible, but police only have enough information at this point for the one charge. "If there was any kind of sex going on, there would be another charge," he said, adding that the investigation was ongoing. Tuckruskye, he said, has not previously faced similar charges. Police said the woman told investigators that she and the boy were kissing. The boy, police said, initially said he was 18 years old.

What is shameful is that this woman is the mother of three. So, my question is, would she like another woman or man to do this to any of her kids? I don't think so. She was in charge of fundraising for the school. This woman should be treated as a predator. If this crime was committed by a man, he most definitely would be treated as such. She is a scumbag for engaging in such activities with a child. Shameful and she should have to register as a sex offender once she has been convicted.

    She isn't a teacher but a PTA official, whatever that means. The problem is that she has been accused of this before, so I am wondering why she was allowed to come in such close contact with kids again. She deserves to go to prison for a while. A slap on the wrist won't deter her. As I said, I don't advocate violence, but I would understand the parent of that child giving her a whipping. She's a scumbag and a child predator.

    I must be missing something. Having parented three teens to adulthood (okay 2 teens and one still on his way towards adulthood), I do NOT understand why a 44 year old woman would want to be sexually involved with a 13 year old boy. It seems like another teacher makes the headlines for this nearly every month or so (probably just seems that way, may not be happening that often) Again, I'm baffled. I can understand an attraction to older men but kids? A 13 year old is just....well, far from adult.
