A letter sent home to each parent in the Levittown School District informed them of disturbing incidents that had been taking place on the grounds of nearby schools.

Four female students have reported that they were approached on the grounds outside both MacArthur High School and Abbey Lane Elementary School by a man who indecently exposed himself. On Feb. 1 it was reported that a white male, described as being in his late 20s and wearing a dark blue fleece jacket was spotted on the north side of the football field exposing himself to another female student. He was described as wearing a gray, hooded sweatshirt and was seen leaving in a white car.

On Feb. 15, it was reported that a male wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt had approached two female students between Abbey Lane and Levittown Memorial Education Center. He was described as a white, balding man, possibly in his 30s who was seen leaving in a silver car after exposing himself.

Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Robert L. Davis said that the district has notified the police in each of the three cases and has also put extra staff on to watch what is going on.

"We reported it to the police immediately and we have been making staff knowledgeable and are asking them to be vigilant," Davis explained. "But we don't know who this person is and anyone in the community who does know who it is should call the police department. We're not even sure it's the same person."

Davis' letter also stated the officers from the 8th precinct are investigating each incident and have increased patrols in the area.

Marilyn Verde, mother of three children in the Levittown School District, said she picks up her children each day from school and knew nothing about the incidents that began on Feb. 1 until receiving the letter. Verde has two children attending MacArthur High School and one in Salk.

"My kids have seen him," Verde explained. "He is blatantly out on the football field, sitting on the bleachers, exposing himself and masturbating."

Verde said she has also recently heard of this person beginning to approach children, including stirring up seemingly friendly encounters such as snowball fights.

"My daughter is 11-years-old and she crosses that football field," Verde said. "He seems to be eyeing female students. It seems like this is a big thrill for him and who knows if he is going to take it one step further."

"I think kids should be aware when they're walking home and should keep their distance," Verde said. "They all have cell phones on them and if they see something suspicious they should call 911."

Besides listing the specific incidents in the letter, Davis offered the following advice to parents, "you may want to reaffirm with your children that they should be watchful for strangers and try to be with others and not out by themselves."
