Level 3 sex offender living 1 block from elementary school

This is a Level 3 (the worst) sex offender living less than 1,000 feet (.18 miles) from Parkway Elementary School in East Meadow. Parents for Megan's Law have contacted NCPD with no response, Ed Manango's representative Doug has told multiple parents that this is not an issue that Ed is concerned about and it is irrational to be concerned with someone who "hasn't done anything yet", Norma Gonsalves's office is "looking into it", and Kate Murray's office directs you to Ed Mangano (see above). Kemp Hannon's office is the ONLY one so far that said they would look into this, because this house is a STATE owned property.

.16 (SEVEN HOUSES) and less than the administrative law of .18 miles from an elementary school with 500 children - lives a Level 3 (worst level) sex offender in a STATE owned house.

PLEASE if you live in the area or have family/friends in the area make sure your children stay safe.

I just saw this on a fb feed. So sickening. What can be done? How do you know it's a state owned house?

Right now we have to get past the apathetic response that there is nothin to be done. There was an appeal of the nassau county administrator law on residency restrictions which allowed level one sex offenders to ignore the 1,000 feet requirement. The state law (which is just for level 3 which is what his guy is) has the same. The appellate court upheld the nassau county law - so technically the guy is in violation of both. We need to blitz the elected officials kemp hannon, Ed mangano, and all there friends need to step up and get this guy out. The police commissioner can't stand back on this one anymore.

UM WHAT?
Isn't he on the list because he's done something already
This makes no sense to me.

Hope you get an answer soon!

Many of these politicians and people in power will only be "proactive" once something like this gains a lot of public awareness... MANY people being up in arms about this will get, if anything can be done, some results.

Therefore, I would call News 12, Fios1, and Newsday's newsroom as soon as possible -- there's usually a reporting line that you can call and let them know about a story or that you have something they should look into. I would explain that you are one of MANY residents getting together about this who are up in arms... and explain how this in violation and that all of the "powers that be" have been brushing you off.

Also, maybe make a petition or a FB page against this -- there's power in numbers.

HTH!

ETA -- who is the Senator and local Legislator in that area? Senator is Fuschillo, no? Doesn't he do parts of East Meadow? - bah, IDK, I live in Suffolk but check out his district and see if he does that area. He's pretty proactive. Also, don't forget, all of these people have FB pages, even Mangano, Fuschillo, Murray, etc. and this is an election year for many :) So, go on there and explain that this is going on, tweet them, call the offices, etc. It can't hurt. I would check out who your Senator is though.

I would call 7 on your side. My sister did this an issue with her neighbor and they were on top of it right away! Please tell me what I can do because I live in East Meadow not too far from there!

It's Kemp Hannon - his office was already called -- they are looking into to it, seems to be the famous answer. Ed Mangano's director of public safety called the police commissioner but there was an appeal in process on the Nassau County ordinance (Level 1 fighting not being able to live near a school) so the stance was that they couldn't do anything because the county law was overturned and in appeal. The issues is that this person in East Meadow is a Level 3, and there is a state law (which is not being disputed) -- the law suit was that a county law could not supercede a county ordinance. The whole thing at the end of the day though is that the County Ordinance was upheld on appeal on Sept 13, 2013 - so he is in violation of both. Oh, and living in a STATE OWNED HOUSE.

I would contact news12

Re: Level 3 sex offender living 1 block from elementary school

I was told the same thing when I called the precinct to report that my neighbor (a level 3 sex offender who just got out of jail in March) lives less than 1/4 mile from a park.

The detective I spoke to told me that the supreme court is currently trying to overturn this law as "unconstitutional" so, although they will make a note of it- they can't do anything about it until a decision is handed down.

I am in Suffolk County though.
