The notice is so area residents are aware that a pedophile is living in the area and they can be vigilant in watching their children. Near where this person lives are 2 child care facilities (one literally around the corner on Grand in a Church, the other a few blocks down on Scarsdale Ave). Not to mention the Little Gym is a block away as well. Parents should be notified that someone who could be a threat to their children is in the area. I for one am happy that the police notify residents of this so residents can keep a closer eye on their children, and if the parents feel it appropriate, speak to the children about things to be aware of. - Ed Mon, 20 Aug 2012 07:48:20 +0100 http://www.scarsdale10583.com/201208142640/people/level-3-sex-offender-now-living-in-scarsdale-p.o.html#comment-5249 Clearly Rudy and Scott, you do not have kids OR you do not feel threatened by this guy. I, on the other hand, live just blocks from him in Scarsdale and have three children. I'm petrified at this news. Scarsdale and Eastchester are family centered neighborhoods. Why can't he go live in an area that is [u]not so densely populated by vulnerable children[/u]?AND he nearly committed this crime right in the same neighborhood - the former Borders Books in Eastchester. Plus, that is only the act we know about due to the sting operation. We have no idea if this guy abused any children other than the one he was communicating with online. It's all fine and dandy until he strikes again - and if it was your child as the victim, I think you'd be singing a different song. The education and awareness is important. Parents NEED this information. Thank you Scarsdale10583.com for reporting the facts. - Anonymous Tue, 14 Aug 2012 16:20:17 +0100 http://www.scarsdale10583.com/201208142640/people/level-3-sex-offender-now-living-in-scarsdale-p.o.html#comment-5248 Having registry information does not allow the community to take ANY actions. NONE. The registry is for INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. But now the police are telling the community they can take illegal actions against people on the registry. See, having registry information, you cannot harass, threaten, isolate, banish, or put fear into offenders. Exactly what action is the detective telling the community to do that is appropriate? The level system is a legislative FRAUD. Being a level 3 doesn't mean highly likely to commit sex crimes. In fact, it means highly UNLIKELY. See, to get a LIKELY, you need at least a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not). But when only 11 percent of level 3's are arrested again for a sex crime over a 10 year period, legally speaking, this man is UNLIKELY to re-commit a crime. But the legislature made up levels and constantly change the meaning of them. If a person doesn't present a danger to the community their level system is not changed, is it? NO. I don't defend what this person did. But what the State and this newspaper is doing? Is ensuring your community is at so much greater danger. You all don't really care about kids, I know Why would I say that? Because it is clear the registry is not protecting and makes anti-social individuals who are more likely to commit sex crimes. But don't worry, it is just children. I will tell you this, a conviction, standing alone, is NOT ENOUGH TO PLACE A POLICE STATE AROUND AN INDIVIDUAL or to strip him of their due process rights. You need a court of law under established and accepted standards of proof. None of you want that, because that is what FREE COUNTIES DO. Take your registry and level system and shove them. I laugh at them. NOTHING NONE OF YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! Why?

Why don't you throw up some pics of the Durst family members and other well-heeled offenders actually living in Scarsdale! - Scott Tue, 14 Aug 2012 11:10:19 +0100
