Predator hunters out of NY almost lose their sh*t when they see the "tools" this predator is going to use on an 11, 8 & 3yr old
"My heart practically stopped when Preston Purdy took the zip ties out of his bag that he planned to use on the children. This was one of the moments I had to take a step away from Preston. My heart was on absolute f*cking fire.
Listen to how casually he says how the zip ties were going to be used "on Courtney and Kyle, and maybe on Kayla". An 11 year old boy and an 8 year old girl. Kayla would be the THREE year old baby, that he would have "maybe" used the zip ties on.
I truly have not encountered this level of evil in my life before. I still am having a hard time processing what would have happened to those kids - had they actually existed.
Please let this be a reminder that there are real children out there being brutally abused to this level - right now - all over the world - and in our own neighborhoods.
We the People need to do what we can to come together as a community, take a stand and make sure every child is protected - no matter the cost.
The team at SCS Group/NYSPA and I have some big things in the works for further child predator stings, child safety programs and coordination with other organizations and individuals in the field of combating sex crimes and domestic violence - and protecting our children.
We take this very seriously. This is hard work. It needs to be done. As a community - we can and we will.
Always Forward.

Feast Day: Saint Martin of Tours (November 11)
Today the Church celebrates Saint Martin of Tours, the soldier who became a monk and then a bishop. Born around 316 in Pannonia (modern Hungary) and raised in Italy, Martin was enrolled in the Roman army as a young man, though his heart was drawn to Christ. At the gates of Amiens, on a bitterly cold day, he met a half-naked beggar and, moved with compassion, cut his cloak in two and shared it with him. Soon after, he was baptized.
Freed from military service, Martin became a disciple of Saint Hilary of Poitiers and lived as a hermit and monk, founding what is remembered as one of the first monasteries in Gaul, at Ligugé. In 371 or 372 the people of Tours called for him as their bishop. He resisted, was drawn into the city by a ruse, and accepted the office with great humility, continuing to live simply near his monastery at Marmoutier while preaching the Gospel across the countryside.
Martin also pleaded with the emperor for mercy toward the condemned, and he grieved deeply over the harm that followed his efforts. He died at Candes around 397, and he is among the first saints honored who was not a martyr. He is a patron of soldiers. May his generosity and humility inspire us to share what we have with those in need. Saint Martin of Tours, pray for us!
