PTA Mom Caught with Half-Naked Boy, 13

(Nassau, New York) A 44-year-old Parent-Teacher Association official, Joan Tuckruskye, was caught Friday night allegedly doing the nasties with a half-naked 13-year-old boy in the back of her running SUV.

The parked, running vehicle behind a Baldwin elementary school seemed suspicious to officers Friday night, said Det. Lt. Kevin Smith. The late hour -- about 10:30 p.m. -- also made it unusual for the 2008 Nissan Pathfinder to be parked behind Meadow Elementary, Smith said.

"They tapped on a rear window," Smith said of the two First Precinct officers. The windows were foggy, he said, but the officers could make out two figures inside.

"They noticed both of the individuals were not clothed from the waist down," Smith said.

The officers asked for identification, and the boy said he was 18. Smith said police were skeptical about the age of the boy, who later said he was 15. Later that evening at Nassau University Medical Center, it was determined that the boy, whom police would not identify, is 13, Smith said.

Tuckruskye has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child. If investigators find that sex occurred, additional charges may be filed. She was released without bail following her arraignment Saturday.
