Neighbor assulted on st. mark's ave and kingston

Subject: Neighbor assulted on st. mark's ave and kingston

Our neighbor that lives across from the brooklyn children's museum was assulted and hospitalized -- she's been living here for years, is black, and more than 70 years old. I've called the 77th precinct Community Affairs and left messages to no avail. It seems as if things are getting worse rather than better. I do think there needs to be more police presence around Brower park and the surrounds, I know personally of 5 incidents that have affected my family or neighbors. We moved to CH in 2003. If anyone has media contacts, or is themself interested in writing a piece on what seems to be a growing problem, please let me know. At this point I have more faith in media coverage getting through to decision-makers, than phone calls and letter writing -- I've gone to meetings, met with the precinct etc..(Post your info and I will contact you)

If you scroll down to almost the bottom of this thread, there's a CUNY Journalism student seeking people from the neighborhood to talk about this very thing. You might try emailing him/her to start. They might also be able to refer you to some local news contacts.
