Abuse recorded on Haredi community street

Israel National News has a report about a Haredi rabbi whose neighborhood is trying to prevent child rapists from violating children by setting up security cameras:
The security camera footage showed multiple cases of children being abducted and assaulted in the Sanhedria area, just a block away from Mrs. S’ son’s school. The videos were not released, of course, with the intention of ‘shock value.’ They have been shown to the public to highlight a community problem, and to highlight a solution. How the rabbanim came to discover this problem and begin to solve it is fascinating:

In 2018 the neighborhood of Sanhedria was overwhelmed by Friday night robberies. And so, several individuals, including Rabbi Yizchok Berkowitz, joined together to install security cameras on the street. What they saw was something far darker than robbery: Children were being picked up by pedophiles in broad daylight.

“Perhaps Hashem had sent us the burglaries, for the sake of being able to discover. Throughout the week, all sorts of individuals from outside the neighborhood are driving in and did awful things to children,” says Rabbi Berkowitz, in a direct video address. “We had absolutely no awareness of anything like this going on.”
Well I'm glad somebody's acknowledging the crisis, which the cameras have managed to reduce, although as noted in the article, the camera equipment maintenance is expensive, so let's hope they can fund more, and for more streets than just the Sanhedria neighborhood's. But they also have to provide more universal education for their subjects so they can understand these issues as they're growing up, and hopefully avoid them.
