Statement from IDC Leader Jeff Klein RE: Sexual Predators Near PreK Sites


  For years, I have worked on legislation and issued numerous reports to protect the state’s most vulnerable children from convicted, high level sexual predators who have been allowed to reside near preschools and inside family shelters. It is unbelievable that the law doesn’t protect all children through 1,000 feet residency restrictions because pre-kindergartens are not considered ‘schools’ under the law or continues to allow these ticking time bombs to reside next door to children in shelters. The Senate has passed my bills year after year to remedy these serious issues. I applaud Governor Cuomo for including this in his 30-day budget amendments and protecting our youngest, most vulnerable children.
