Bronx Teacher Arrested For Molesting Student For Years

A Bronx elementary school teacher has been arrested and charged with sexual abuse of a boy. According to NY1, 35-year-old Tulsie Singh was suspended without pay in January and finally fired for his job at PS 306 in April. Sources claim that Department of Education officials have known about Singh's actions for "years," and he was suspended from work "more than once as a result." Singh reportedly began molesting the boy, then eight-years-old, in his classroom in 2004, and "the abuse continued until March 2007."

Singh is currently out on bail, and it is unclear whether the boy is Singh's only alleged victim. Police claim that the teacher raped the boy "at least once." A spokesperson from the DOE tells us, "NY1 is incorrect. We referred all allegations of misconduct to the independent Special Commissioner of Investigation. However, when allegations are found to be unsubstantiated, a teacher is returned to the classroom."

A Daily News reporter went to Singh's home, where a relative said, "It's totally untrue. Go and get your statement correct. You're crazy."

It's sad how these pedophiles always seem to get jobs in which they have access to young children. I think they are mentally ill because if you know you have these type of disgusting feelings towards children you would get help and not act on them. I don't trust anyone around my daughter because of all the stories I read on the internet. Priests, teachers, babysitters, family and friends are all people who have been convicted of molestation. I know my daughter is safe when she's in my care and I have had talks with her regarding the topic. What needs to happen is for him to do a lot of time in prison so he can find out what it's like to be raped. I came across a post written by a young lady who was molested as a child and it moved me so I would like to share it with other readers. http://www.peoplesinsight.com/...

Exactly what do the administrators of the teacher's union do besides making sure there are enough people in the union paying dues so they can make a living?

Sources claim that Department of Education officials have known about Singh's actions for "years," and he was suspended from work "more than once as a result."WTF? Was he spending those years in the "latex room"? If this proves true, it's an absolute fucking outrage.
