Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), representative of Borough Park, issued the following statement on the shocking abduction and murder of Leibby Kletzky, a 9-year-old boy from the neighborhood:

“When news of Leibby’s disappearance broke, I joined my constituents and parents everywhere in a sense of fear and concern, mixed with a powerful hope that he would be found unharmed.  Today, I am speechless and shocked by the brutality and injustice of this horrific crime.  As a father and a human being, I am deeply saddened that so innocent a soul could be so cruelly taken.  I join my constituents in Borough Park and people everywhere in wishing the Kletzky family strength and blessings to heal from this awful tragedy.”
