My little brother is one of the countless victims of Adrian Harry Figueroa Hepner, a local pedophile who preys on young girls in our community of Riverdale, The Bronx, NY. This situation is not only a source of enduring trauma for my family but has instilled a pervasive fear among other families in our neighborhood. Adrian's history is one filled with tragedy – at the tender age of 16, he was sent to an all-boys camp in Grove in 2023, which left him with emotional scars. However, these scars have turned into a cycle of abuse, impacting countless young lives.

Adrian, now 18, continues his predatory behavior, targeting girls aged 15-16 in our area. Despite multiple attempts to bring him to justice, the system has failed us due to a lack of commitment and due diligence from local law enforcement agencies like the NYPD. This has left us feeling abandoned, leading to a climate of helplessness but also urgency to act.

This petition aims to shed light on the continuous threat Adrian poses to our community and urges immediate action from law enforcement. We demand a thorough investigation into his activities and insist on preventive measures to protect our children.

Furthermore, it's essential to address systemic failures within the NYPD, promoting accountability and ensuring that predators like Adrian are not able to exploit gaps in the legal system to perpetuate their crimes.

This is a call to our community, neighbors, and parents to come together and advocate for safety, justice, and awareness. By signing this petition, you are demanding an environment where our children can live without fear, play without watchful suspicion, and grow up in a safe neighborhood.

Please join me in this crucial fight to #MAKENYCSAFEAGAIN and create a protective framework against individuals like Adrian.

Sign the petition now to make your voice heard and protect our future generations.
