“Class sends handmade holiday Cards to Prisoner”
A Queens teacher forced her fifth-graders to make holiday cards for a repulsive pen pal — a jailed boyfriend who has a taste for child porn and a conviction for gun possession.
Melissa Dean instructed the youngsters at Public School 143 in Corona to draw cards for her beau in December because she “thought it was a nice thing to do,” investigators said.
But a guard at Groveland Correctional Facility in upstate Livingston County disagreed, intercepting the 27 letters for John Coccarelli and alerting Dean’s principal.
“It was bad judgment,” said the city’s special commissioner of investigation, Richard Condon. “She certainly did not have permission.”
Instead, they were sent to Coccarelli, who has been collared for possession of a loaded 9-mm. semiautomatic pistol and violating an order of protection.
Coccarelli, 33, has a disturbing criminal record. In 2008, he was busted in Nassau County for weapons possession and child porn after police found a disk and laptop with nearly 50 sexually explicit images of underage kids.
Then in 2010, he pleaded guilty to violating a restraining order. He isn’t eligible for parole until May.
Common Sense Review
Our society has gone crazy. A elementary teacher who is well educated in the development of children as well as the psychology pedophiles and this is what happens. Any more it seems that in our society the lonely and those who don’t curb their sexual urges are aggressively hunting the children of our world.
