City Neighborhoods Simply Crawling With “Sex Sickos”
They act like being a convicted sex offender is a bad thing:
Nearly a third of the city’s most dangerous sex offenders live within just two blocks of an elementary or middle school — and authorities have no power to make them move farther away, the Daily News has learned.
The sobering findings emerged from the most exhaustive examination ever conducted of the state sex offender registry.
The disturbing report, completed by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn), shows that about 670 of the city’s 2,114 worst sex offenders live within two blocks of a school.
The clusters of sickos grow even larger a few more blocks away.
More than 85% of the city’s Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders — the worst of the worst — live within a quarter-mile of a school, Weiner’s examination found. “Every day my kids when they leave the house I say a little prayer that they won’t cross one of these sex sickos,” Bronx mom Cynthia Hawkins, 35, said as she walked her kids home from Public School 33 in Highbridge.
Anthony Weiner: master of the low-hanging fruit.
