Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited a Harlem church on Sunday to talk about the NYPD’s controversial stop-and-frisk policy and agreed with the suggestion that parents could prevent crime by frisking their own children at home.
The mayor told the congregation at East Ward Missionary Baptist Church in Harlem that the program was effective in helping reduce crime.
“It is the parents’ job to start a stop-and-frisk in the home, to the extent that they can,” said the mayor. “We in the city are doing everything we can to work with our young kids, for those who’ve fallen off the right path, to get them back on track.”

I never saw a need to “stop and frisk” my kids at home and I doubt that any YWN readers have.
