Violent schizophrenic and attempted child kidnapper Jordan Neely was on a secret New York City "top 50" list of homeless people in need of "assistance and treatment" from social workers (as opposed to police), according to The New York Times.
From The New York Times:
[Jordan Neely] was well known for years to the social work teams that reach out to homeless people on the subways, and had hundreds of encounters with them, according to an employee of the Bowery Residents' Committee, a nonprofit organization that does subway outreach for the city.
Mr. Neely was on what outreach workers refer to as the "Top 50" list -- a roster maintained by the city of the homeless people living on the street whom officials consider most urgently in need of assistance and treatment. He was taken to hospitals numerous times, both voluntarily and involuntarily, said the employee, who spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss his history.
Mr. Neely racked up more than three dozen arrests. Many were of the sort that people living on the street often accrue while homeless, like turnstile-jumping or trespassing. But at least four were on charges of punching people, two of them in the subway system.
