Nicole Malliotakis There’s a Problem if Only Two Children Show Up!
Two children showed for an event planned by Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis on Saturday, August 29th from 10:00 – 11:00 AM. Malliotakis invited the press to write an article and videotape the event, even though she knew there would be a low turnout. See the newspaper article AND the video. Malliotakis isn’t in any of the pictures or the video and neither journalist questioned why there are only two children are there! I asked the woman in the video if there was only two kids and she responded that is what she saw there. September 2, 2015 – the other journalist also confirmed by e-mail that there were just two kids present.
The Red Cross is giving emergency preparedness workshops through the Pillow Project for children in grades 3-5. These workshops are paid for by Disney. On Twitter, you can see these workshops are attended by larger groups of children here, here and here
Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis made flyers for the workshop and posted it on Facebook. Did Staten Island parents think their children didn’t need to be taught about hurricane preparation or was this event not announced correctly to them? The Assemblywoman could have offered it to a scout troop or another group so that the Red Cross’ time was better used.
On Facebook, Malliotakis shared the link the to article and wrote that it was a great event. She didn’t say it was a shame there weren’t a lot of children or she wished that more children showed up. It looks like Politics as usual to me.
