Police Come Across Fogged Up SUV On Elementary School Grounds In Baldwin; Residents Shocked, Horrified
BALDWIN, N.Y. (CBS) ― A prominent PTA official is facing some serious allegations involving a teenage boy.
Police arrested Joan Tuckruskye after allegedly finding her in the backseat of a parked car with a 13-year-old boy on Friday night. Both of them, police said, were partially unclothed.
"I feel devastated for the victim," said "Steve," the suspect's neighbor.
His son attends school with both the alleged victim and suspect's daughter, and is outraged over charges that Tuckruskye, vice president in charge of fundraising for the school, endangered the welfare of a 13-year-old boy.
"I'm shocked because she has children. Yes, she has children," he said.
"I've known them for 22 years. My children are friends with hers. I feel sick," added "Lisa," another neighbor of the suspect.
It was in the rear of the elementary school parking lot where patrolling officers said they noticed the foggy and steamed windows of an SUV. They approached and knocked on the window.
"They observed a woman in her 40s and a boy who appeared to be a teenager. They were not clothed from the waist down," said Lt. Kevin Smith of the Nassau County Police Department.
At first, police said, the boy said he was 18. Later at the hospital, though, he admitted being 13 but claimed he and the PTA mom were only kissing.
The Baldwin School District issued a statement, saying the District "is cooperating fully...and is working to maintain a normal and calm school environment for all students while police investigate."
The investigation is ongoing. If it's determined that a sexual act took place, charges could be upgraded from a misdemeanor to a felony.
If the bottom half looks as bad as the top half, no.
Either that was one brave, or intoxicated kid.
Sorry for asking but could someone explain the use of “guilty” and “not guilty” when commenting on a photo? Thanks
And I’d rather they didn’t.
The question is “What were they kissing?”
She looks like Steve Doocy in drag...
My eyes aren’t the best, bet when I was in high school I had a crush on a “hot” teacher, not a beast like this one. This woman looks rough; the boy must be an outcast to want to be with her.
Not with this beast
some times, it's probably a good thing.
Ohhhhh....my eyes!!!!!
Definitely guilty!
and have that kid’s eyes checked.....
no way; that woman was hot
The thinking is that if she's really hot (like Debra LaFave) no crime has been committed against the boy, but if she's butt-ugly like this woman, a terrible injustice has occurred. This woman is guilty, guilty, guilty.
The joke works when the boy is sixteen or seventeen. Thirteen's ridiculous, and I vote always guilty in that case.
It has to do with whether or not the kid would get an “Attaboy!” or a “You Poor Thing”.
Hell, she is endangering my breakfast!
Guilty as sin.
How sad and pathetic these gals are. And yes, I do think it's all about esteem and control...and selfishness. These sick chicks are just as bad as male pedophiles.
She’s not looking for mature; she’s looking for young, immature, and will go along with anything she wants. The boy will think anything she does is great, so it will boost her low self-esteem.
No....
Look at her; if you were married to her would you want to have sex with that. She looks more manly than many men.
We don't know that. It's just as likely as not that this isn't the first 13-year-old boy she's "kissed."
You could raise the roof with that face. Give her a crew cut and she looks like my male neighbor.
