Hi all - breaking news from a Horatio Street mom:

I wanted to let everyone know that there is a man who, for many days, has been sitting in the basketball area of Seravelli Playground (Horatio Street and Washington/8th ave) leering at children. He recently has moved to the picknic tables in the actual playground. And yesterday he said to a young teenager “the children are hot”.

The police came and told him he is not to be in either the basketball area or the playground and escorted him out (my sitter saw him hanging out on the street corner 10 minutes later.) The police told us that if he returns to the park to call 911 - that is the best and fastest way to get the police to come (don’t call the precinct or 311). Be one the look out because he may go to other parks.

He is average height, brownish grey thick hair, maybe 40s or 50s, white, heavy set - especially around the stomach.
