Please be advised that a man who goes by the name Shmuel Yaakov has been circulating in the Hancock Part area and has given at least one child drugs in an alley behind a shul. He has reportedly bragged that he has given other children candy laced with drugs. This man is in his 50s, of average height, with a black-greyish beard and dark, Sephardic features. He sometimes wears white garb. He is known to be violent.
Rabbanim who are familiar with the situation are convinced that Shmuel Yaakov is a danger to the children in our community. Do not allow him to be alone with children in your shul; he is even more dangerous in alleys behind the shul.
The Rabbanim ask that you forward this email to your kehillah email list. This is an opportunity for parents to discuss with their children the need to be wary of strangers, specifically not to talk to or take candy (or anything else) from people they don’t know.
A community-wide strategy is being developed, in consultation with the authorities, to address the problem.
If you have any information please call 323-761-8816X1240 and leave a message.
