Someone carved a swastika and the word “Jew” in freshly poured concrete outside Holy Name Medical Center’s emergency room on Grange Road late Wednesday or early Thursday, authorities said.
Police also took three boys into custody — ages 14, 15 and 17 — for stepping on and writing in the soft concrete, though they were not responsible for the anti-Semitic message, police said.
The hospital replaced the concrete Thursday after learning of the graffiti, spokeswoman Jacqueline Kates said.
“Hopefully we will never experience something like that again,” she said.
Police have not decided whether to charge the three boys or impose an alternate form of punishment in consultation with their parents.

Hate messages aside, all kids (even older ones!) are attracted to wet, mushy concrete. It’s fun to deface things & leave your mark (just look at our politicians.)
My suggestion? Have them clean up city graffiti, help haul bags of cement for the city, & act as “candy-stripers” at the hospital.
