Joan 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.

Ugly cougar at best, but a pedophile in my book for sure! She is GROSS!!!

Even if the kid thought she was the hottest thing since warm milk and cookies, she is the adult and responsible for drawing the line and saying NO! I really doubt she thought the kid was 18, and it's sort of ironic that the PTA pervert would be doing this act in the elementary school parking lot.

Lock her up and toss the key...then register her @$$ as a sex offender for the rest of her sorry life.

If you want some actual scientific research, rather then uninformed opinion, on the topic of sexual abuse, in this case by women, and whether it causes damage, this study from Britain shows it clearly does cause damage:

For this entire study, or more info on this topic, go to http://www.menweb.org/

The Sexual Abuse by Women of Children and Teenagers Summary of UK TV programme -

Panorama - BBC1 - The sexual abuse of children by women was once thought to be so rare it could be ignored. In this programme the victims tell a different story.

Summary --This was a vivid and horrific programme in which the victims of sexual abuse by women told disturbing stories of emotional and physical damage: * Rape and attempted murder of a 12 year old boy by a 19 year old girl* Rape and abuse of a 12 year old boy over a two year period by a 28 year old mother of four* Rape and abuse of boys by their mother* Rape and abuse of girls by their mother* Women taking a lead role in pornographic violence and abuse* * A surprising 86% of survivors of sexual abuse were not believed when they said the abuser was a woman.

I wanted to respond to several posts but this is easier.....

I enjoyed South Park's take on this when Ike, Kyles little three year old brother has an
affair with his school teacher and Kyle interferes. The police get involved and as soon
as they learn that it is an attractive adult female with a young boy the comments go from
condemnation to "Nice....."...

Me, I don't think that seducing minors of either gender is an appropriate passtime but it
is interesting how the culture views one variation as almost a right of passage - someone
below mentioned "Summer of 42" and that the boy wasn't going to suffer psychological
trauma because "boys view this sort of thing differently".... I have to disagree and I think that
the kid being with an adult is confusing enough but with the police involved he is going to
have a lot to deal with and it will affect him.

The fantasy is perfect, it always is, but the people trying to live it are not.

Wait a minute....we want to save this kid from "the Trauma" of an older woman and a sexual encounter; in a few short years we will think nothing of sending this kid out into the world to kill and/or be killed for a particular social/economic point of view. Please get your ducks aligned correctly.

Gross. Really gross. What was she thinking? I mean seriously, if the kid is mature and HE is thinking about a perverted act with his teacher that is one thing. But for her, as a mature, responsible woman who is supposed to be in charge to do this is really sick.

Sick indeed.

Do you think that a 45-yr-old might be able to persuade a 13-yr-old, even a mature one, to do something that's not in the 13-yr-old's best interest?

i do.

Yup, I do too. But that is where civility, responsibility and maturity come into play. You just simply don't do it because it is not right.

Oh, please. Is he going to spend the rest of his life in a sanitarium? He clearly doesn't consider himself a "victim," considering that he was willingly duplicitous in regards to his age.

I'm sure this is as "abusive" as the Mary Kay Letourneau case...where she married her "victim."

Of course, the same principle applies if the "predator" is a 44 year old male and the "victim" a 13 year old girl. One can be certain the event would not be considered "abusive" if he marries his "victim." She clearly would not consider herself a "victim" considering that she was willingly duplicitous in regards to her age.

Go rent a movie, or read the book, Summer of 42. It will give you a better understanding of how boys look at these things. It is based on a true story, of what happened to the author when he was the age of this poor victim.

I know that I am going to sound like a creep here. I will preface this by stating that I have no children so I don't have any type of maternal instincts to rely on here.

When I was a teen aged girl I certainly got a lot of attention from adult men. I made out with a guy way too old for me. In hindsight I think the guy was a creep but I can't see sending him to prison. He didn't hold a gun to my head. The experience didn't destroy me in some way.

I feel like we treat kids like fragile hothouse flowers that will wilt with any type of exposure. The kid is probably spanking it to porn the likes of which I never dreamed of at 13.

I am in no way condoning rape, molestation or any other horrible thing that I am sure some one is about to attribute to me. I know that the emotional development isn't there, but come on.

When I was 13 yrs old, I was a horny attention craving creature that basked in the attention I got. I told you that I was going to sound like a creep.

You're not a creep, you're a real honest person, someone these sanctimonious creeps can't deal with. When I was 13, I could take care of myself. These overbearing, condescending parents still don't get it, equating what happened to this kid with child molestation, as if he was 7 or 8. It doesn't occur to them that not everyone was brought up like their overprotected zombie kids, that some of us were allowed the freedom to discover the world and deal with it. Then, they wonder why their kids can't do jack, even when they reach adulthood.

Blame the tossing out of reason and prudent judgement on the religious fruitcakes and the retugs who kiss their b.utts in order to appease them. Whats going on now is somewhat akin to the atrocities of the dark ages. And no, I absolutely do not condone relations with minors, but some of these cases that are being prosecuted are simply a waste of time and scarce resources. Here in town, we recently had a similar case of a teacher and her 17 year-old student, they got caught "hiding the salami". The kid himself was all for the, ah em, "interaction", and from all accounts they have enjoyed a lengthy relationship. But our trusty old bible thumpin' prosecutor is ready to stone this woman in the public square.

Don't get me started on their surreal treatment of gays.

You are not a creep at all. I share your sentiments. The food that is being fed to these children has too many hormones. They are growing up fast and becoming teenagers at say 7! At 13 everything is fully functional and ready to go. Tnx for being the voice of reason amongst the faux rage

It's not faux. Child molestation is outrageous and you should take it seriously. We live in the times of Caylee Anthony, Carlie Brusia and Adam Walsh. Adults should protect children not have sex with them. Shame on you. You are a woman and you think this is OK.

A parting thought for the day...


Do you think an adult is capable of persuading a child to do something not in the child's best interest, to make the child think it's the child's own idea?

I do.

I also think it's a pretty good idea to punish adults who do that. It might keep some of the "persuasive" adults refrain from taking advantage of those kids.

I'll openly say that adolescence is a social construct that didn't exist until about a century ago...I have yet to see proof that adolescents are legitimately "children" or that this would cause adolescents profound psychological harm.

You're pathetic, not to mention terribly condescending. Most 13 year old boys, and many 13 year old girls, can take care of themselves. The only ones who can't are these namby pambies who were raised by people like you. You have no clue about what most 13 year old boys are thinking about. If you have a son, check his computer and see where he's been surfing. And don't equate 13 year old boys to younger aged boys, you're talking about either an 8th or 9th grader.

Well, this is pretty disturbing. But not as disturbing as the woman in Flagler County, Florida, who turned up in some pictures being too, ahem, "friendly" with her German Shepar

And the Humane Society folks were outraged that they couldn't remove the dog from the "abusive environment" he was in!
