On October 5, 2015, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer visited Maple Hill Elementary School in Middletown to urge Congress to immediately pass his recently introduced legislation that will finally crack down on an alarming new nationwide crime trend called “swatting,” which has recently emerged as a problem in the Hudson Valley. Schumer said that there have been two recent “swatting” attacks in Orange County, including one that resulted in the evacuation of over 1,300 terrified students at Monhagen Middle School. Schumer was joined by Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus, Middletown City School District Superintendent Ken Eastwood, and officials from the City of Middletown and Town of Wallkill.
